If I ever find myself in Reykjavik, this is the hostel I’m staying at!

It look a bit artfully untidy. if you know what I mean. And you could get masses more books on those shelves…

Oh I love those bookshelves. They look well-loved and well-used. A great room!

Looks to be a perfect spot to rest and reflect (and read) when in Reykjavik.

I used to have some bookshelves that were this not full but then I filled them up…

Not my kind of room at all – too dark, too brown, too many sharp edges – even a chair has sharp-looking arms, too may different chairs but all of them designed to make your backside ache within minutes of parking yourself. And I don’t ‘do’ ‘artfully untidy’; my spare is either untidy (which it is often) or tidy and polished (occasionally). No, not my kind of space at all.

OK, this + currently reading Joanna Kavenna’s The Ice Musuem has completely re-inflamed my need to go to Iceland. The light in that room is gorgeous…
