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 Friday and The Friday 56


The Content Reader


This week my book beginning and page 56 come from Mr Mac and Me by Esther Freud. It is a historical fiction about Charles Rennie Mackintosh seen through the 11 year old Thomas Maggs.  Here is a short blurb.

"In this tender and compelling story of an unlikely friendship, Esther Freud paints a vivid portrait of a home front community during the First World War, and of a man who was one of the most brilliant and misunderstood artists of his generation. It is her most beautiful and masterful work."

Book beginning hosted by Rose City Reader

"I was born upstairs in the small bedroom, not in the smallest room with the outshot window, where I sleep now, or the main room that is kept for guests - summer visitors who write and let us know that they are coming and how long they plan to stay."

The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice

"'The  rabbit house?' And I flush because it may be only me who calls it that, although there can't be anyone who hasn't noticed how rabbits swarm on the long slope of the garden, smoothing away like ripples the moment you come near."

    1. Your welcome. It is always nice to see the different books people choose for their introduction. It opens up the space for your own reading.

    2. I am confident it is. However, historical fiction is a difficult path. I just read a very interesting blog post from author of historical fiction Deborah Swift. You can find it here. http://www.deborahswift.com/2018/01/20/historical-fiction-10-editing-tips-no-10-feigning-accuracy/ about the tricky bit connecting historical fiction with historical facts.
