When I travel, especially to new places, I like to read up on the places I am visiting. Since I’m headed to Iceland today for a short visit (IcelandAir had a package deal that was too good to pass up), here’s whats on my kindle for the trip:
Iceland, Defrosted, by Edward Hancox
The Little Book of the Icelanders: 50 miniature essays on the quirks and foibles of the Icelandic people, by Alda Sigmundsdottir
A Girl’s Ride in Iceland, by Mrs. (Ethel) Alec-Tweedie
Watch this space for my own stories and photos.

Ah! Splendid! I have been wanting to go since 2014 when a photographer friend told me of his experiences. I’ve since bought a map and travel guide for Iceland and booked-marked IcelandAir , but alas, I have not kept up on the deals as I should!
The Little Book of the Icelanders looks good! I’d be interested if your opinion of it!
Have a wonderful time!
You really should make the trip. It’s a wonderful place.
