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

Books on my to read list

It seems that, while I am struggling to read the books on my own book shelves, the list of books I would like to read, gets longer and longer. The books ending up here are books that you have written about and sounds very interesting to me. Or, they can be from a review in a paper or elsewhere. I wanted to share the list with you. Please recommend your favourites and I might start with them. Do I have a dead-line? NO! Whenever. But, and that is the thing. They, like the books on my TBR shelves tend to get older with the years, and sometimes it is just nice to read new books.


I am a member of a "borrow and read" group with my local bookshop. There, at least, I get to read new books. Here is the list, filled up as I have read about the books. Any of them on your to read list?

  1. wonderful list!
    I don't think any is on my TBR, but I read several:
    Stoner, The Black Count, The House Between Tides, several in the series by Druon, and Summer House with Swimming Pool. This last one I found quite aweful, and Stoner very depressing. I enjoyed all the others.
    Enjoy!

    1. Thank you Emma. I might start with those you mention. I have decided to use the library for this list, can't buy all of them, although some I would like to keep. I loved Koch's first book, but he does not make it easy. Stoner is there because it seems to be a little bit of a classic. Hmm, let's see.
