Det husker jeg veldig godt, Kai🙏🥰❤️
Du er aldeles hjertelig velkommen! 😁❤️
Herregud, hun er så treig😬 60% ferdig, sist jeg hørte noe.

Tenker vi sier som alltid: Krug blir aldri feil.
Her sliter jeg litt. På den ene siden håper jeg å leve mitt liv sånn at ingen spretter Krug fordi jeg har daua, men på den andre siden: om de ikke gjør det, så har jeg jo feila.
AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!😱
🎯
And thank you to author Stéphanie Parent for translating into French 🙌🥰
I have already begged them to send me a copy! You can get yours wherever you get your books in Canada. Thank you so much for this🙏❤️
🔥🇨🇦 FRENCH CANADA launch today and HOLY CORVUS will you look at that edge painting! 😍🙌 I am stunned! Absolutely gorgeous edition of «La fille d’Odin» by my brilliant Canadian publisher Saint Jean Editeur. They truly went all in on these, using the designs that were first created for these books 🥰
That is beyond beautiful🥰
A very succinct summation of why AI isn't going to be the thing they say it is. There's no road to there from where we are.
I am so, so sorry 💔
Big, somewhat leftfield news: I am kicking off a podcast with the wonderful @emmanewman.bsky.social under the title Starship Alexandria. It's a cosy book and film recommendation show where we take it in turns to rec things to one another and discuss them.
Tenåringsbarnets norsk er dårligere enn hennes engelsk, men bøkene hun vil lese er på engelsk. Hun motsetter seg oversatte bøker (jeg argumenterer ikke dette mer med en tenåring, ellers takk). Hun elsker @siripettersen.bsky.social sine bøker, men må lese noe annet også. Noen gode forslag?
Helsebloggen for folk flest? 😬
My author copies of Tangled Roots arrived today! Out in the UK on April 10th! @pushkinpress.com
Hvis du er veldig urolig for pensjonen din nå, så vil jeg anbefale å følge @sveinfroystad.bsky.social. Han er svært bra for blodtrykket, og akkurat nå er det viktig å ta vare på helsa :)
Oh, imagine that joy! 🥹
So much love for the student who checked out the book three times 😮
«I dwell in darkness without you, and it went away?!»
April 2nd and it’s still there 😅
Vi liker deg, da går det opp i opp.
Hey, Saara! 🥰
www.kirkusreviews.com/young-adult/...
Deeply honored and grateful for this milestone. Thank you to Kirkus, Grand Agency, Arctis Books US, and to translator Tara Chace who has clearly worked her best magic here. And most of all, thank you to all of you who are always there, helping these books grow, you are the best 🙏❤️
So by all accounts, Iron Wolf is actually really listed by Kirkus Reviews as one of the best books of the 21st century, so far. It feels like I crashed a party and find myself in the company of giants like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. Unbelievable.
🤯 Iron Wolf is in Kirkus Review’s «Best Books of the 21st Century (so far)» They told me last night and I checked the YA category. It was true. I checked again. Still there. I asked if this was actually real. They said yes. I checked the time difference. No April’s fool.
There was a link change yesterday, so I can totally defend bragging about it again today 😬
The new Kirkus Magazine has a feature where I talk about the real reason fantasy is so vital, in an interview by the wonderful @amygoldschlager.bsky.social: www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-fea...
You are too kind, AR!🙏 And thank you for resharing with the new link 🥰
My interview with @siripettersen.bsky.social, a self-proclaimed death-metal, parental-advisory type plotter of fantasy novels: www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-fea...
I’m also very grateful that Iron Wolf was featured in their «Hot this week» article when the magazine was out🙏🥰 #fantasybooks #booksky
Our conversation will be treasured, just like their starred review of Silver Throat: «Vast in scope, intricately plotted, and utterly original.» ⭐️❤️ You’ll find the interview on their front page today🙏
Can hardly believe I get to say this but the new Kirkus Magazine has a feature where I talk about the real reason fantasy is so popular and important. A gratifying chance to gush about the genre I love, in an interview by the wonderful Amy Goldschlager: www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-fea...
🙏❤️
Fantasy that can be enjoyed by people who usually don’t read Fantasy: The RAVEN RINGS Trilogy by Siri Pettersen. aryngve.substack.com/p/book-revie...
A thousand times thank you to everyone who are making this happen! I will call upon the ravens and the wolves to spoil you with blessings! 🥰 And thank you to my remarkable team at Arctis Books and Grand Agency!
The first weeks after launch tend to determine the fate of a book, so if you want to help, every share and every book counts, wherever you choose to buy it. And if they ever needed stories about manipulating people with fear and lies, now would be the time.
Are you kidding me?! Silver Throat hit the Amazon bestseller list in Dark Fantasy and was a ‘Hot New Release’ in its US launch week, y’all this is translated norse fantasy from Norway, I can’t even …🔥❤️
Absolutely lovely, and deeply empowering for young people trying to make sense of it all. Congratulations, Nina, I am extremely happy to see you enter this genre!🥰 (But be warned, it's addictive. It may be your first, but it will not be your last!😁)
Emotions is the perfect theme for deep currents, and Nina brilliantly connects it to very real mental health issues making this as important as it is entertaining. We all know feeling too much can be a blessing and a curse, and it has never been more relevant.
Emotions as superpowers! 🤩💙🌊Yesterday, @ninaborge.bsky.social launched «The blue Crystal», book 1 in her FIRST fantasy series, and it's about merpeople! I was allowed an early read, and she has done something truly beautiful here: Made empathy a superpower!
Jeg crusher så sinnsynt på Kari Bremnes❤️
Needed this today. Eastern woods of Oslo.
The Invisible Trident of Destiny? 😬
A memory popped up, posted three years ago today. It's still true. www.siripettersen.com/blog/why-lov...
I came here for that.
Dette er grunnen til at vi har nordnorsk.
We launched Highland Pro this morning! Three years of work. I’m incredibly proud of the app and the team that made it. quoteunquoteapps.com/highland-pro/
Hope to be half done with Vardari 3 by the end of the month, and it feels like being in the band on the Titanic😬
Notice the resistance 💪
💔💔
Out in the US now, incase you missed it on tuesday🥰
😍🙌
🔥The world is bursting at the seams, hard-earned wins are crumbling at an alarming rate, but you know what, I hope they launch the brains out of SILVER THROAT in the US today! I hope tens of thousands will read about the false priest turning Náklav with lies and deceit. >
I have been dead for so long i had no idea this series even existed and i need it NOW
Read it and fuel the flame. Stories matter! 🔥🔥🔥
Hello world, my friend’s book is out in English today and it is, in a word, EPIC. 😌
> Every book helps, especially the first days, so thank you for buying, reading or spreading the word about #norsefantasy, it really means so much. 🙏❤️ A profound thank you to Arctis Verlag, Grand Agency and my brilliant translator Tara Chace. 👉www.simonandschuster.com/books/Silver-Throat/
> But most of all, I hope they find the courage and hope that I work so hard to provide in these books. So yes, I know they have far bigger things to deal with right now, but I hope they have a fantastic launch, I really do. >
> I hope they devour the story, seeing the true motives behind claiming divine favour, and the danger of succumbing to fear and distrust. I hope they see how small every step seems, until they are irreversible.>

Nei, nå logger jeg av, dette er Ibiza all over again!
Elitist. Hjernecelle-sløser. Tankebriefer.
Men 45-åringen investerer i et startup som utvikler en tidsmaskin?😬
That is beautiful, Holly 🥰 It hit me too, like I hadn’t heard something genuine and honest in years. Wonderfully human and inspiring.
VI HAR IKKE KRAKK FORDI VI IKKE TRENGER KRAKK! Ærlig talt …
Du undervurderer min vilje til å betale tilfeldig forbipasserende for å hjelpe meg opp til øverste hylle.
Kan du komme hjem til meg og plassere min mat også?
<… increase my productivity by 30-40%, if only I could repress the compulsion to thank him every time, but it just feels so rude not to 😬
The 11th edition of Odin’s Child in Norway comes with a sticker, but don’t worry, it peels right off! 🥰
Better late than never: Even 2024 was a strong contestant in the yearly Bragathon, with a Kirkus Star, a sale to French Canada, Pyrkon, Norconsf, Helsinki, and a potato sack from Lars Mytting, without potatoes. If you’re into all that, you’ll find all the highlights at siripettersen.com/blog 🥰
Elsker å være på topp tre, også i denne konteksten😬
Til høsten er planen, jrg jobber på spreng 😅❤️
For a second there I nearly thought it was a bit much, but as we say up north: It aint full ‘til it spills. Merry Christmas, dear friends. And Kirkus: Thank you for the starred review, it ended up crowning my tree as promised ❤️
www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
I’m deeply happy and grateful for this most coveted star which will totally be printed to top my Christmas tree, don’t judge me 😬 As always: Thank you to my incredible agent, Grand Agency, to my US publisher Arctis Books, and translator Tara Chace, who clearly does a fantastic job ❤️
The Kirkus Star is all a writer could want for Christmas, and now it’s mine, my precious! ⭐️ «Vast in scope, intricately plotted, and utterly original,» they say about Silver Throat which is launching in the US February 25th. (Out for pre-order now!)
In case you’ve been wondering.
😅🙏❤️
She is so adorable, I love her to bits! Thank you 🥰❤️
Drøyt, men læll! 😂❤️
Nina! Omg, Nina, it’s been… ca 1000 år? 😬❤️
And remember to add the hyphen in «two-factor» when you pretend to care about other things than fantasy.
Hey, remember to enable two factor authentication on your brand new Bluesky account :)
