Changing blogging domain and site

Image
Dear blogger friends, Lately, I had a few problems with the Blogger web site for my blog The Content Reader . I took this as a sign that I should finally create a web site of my own. I have been checking out other options, but could not get my act together. Finally, I have managed to create a basic web site with Wix, which I hope will be developed over time.  It has not been easy to find my way around. One thing one can say about Blogger is that it is easy to work with.  This site will no longer be updated Follow me to my new domain @  thecontentreader.com Hope to see you there.  Lisbeth @ The Content Reader

Book beginnings on Fridays and The Friday 56




This week my book beginning and page 56 come from a new author to me, Andrea Camilleri's Hunting Season




Book Beginnings on Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader
"The steam packet boat that delivered the post from Palermo, the Re d'Italia - which Sicilians stubbornly continued to the the Franceschiello out of a combination of habit, laziness, and homage to the Bourbon king who had instituted the service - moored, dead on time, at two o'clock in the afternoon of 1 January 1880, in the harbour of Vigàta."



The Friday 56 (p. 55-56)  hosted by Freda's Voice
"'That was me, my friend. I'd bought two rockets to set off on San Calorio's day, but then I couldn't do it because we were in mourning. So I tried them at home.''In the middle of the night?''Why, is there a specific time of day or night for setting off rockets at home?'"

My review of the novel under link above. Quite a different book, bordering on reality and magic.

  1. Sounds interesting. I'm spotlighting Year One by Nora Roberts. Happy reading!

    1. Yes, definitely different than the usual mysteries. Yours sounds really exciting as well, and quite different from Nora Roberts' usual novels.

    1. It is nice when new authors enter your book shelves. I think this book might be different from his Inspector Montalban series, but I don't know. Might have to read one.
      Yours sounds really great. Love thrillers like that.

    1. I like your intros, but am not sure about the demon part. Although the summary of the book sounds intriguing.
      The Hunting Season is also a different kind of book. I did enjoy it although I was wondering how it would end.

    1. I did enjoy it, although I was wondering where it would go while I was reading. Sometimes it is good to go outside your own comfort zone.

  5. I have never visited Sicily but would love to. Does this book describe the island well?

    1. No, there is no description of the island which would be useful for a visit. First it is set in 1880 and it is a world mixed with real life and magic. Nevertheless, interesting read.
      Thanks for sharing your book. I left a comment on your web-site.
