Changing blogging domain and site

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

Bridgerton by Julia Quinn


Last year I read the first in this series of eight books about the Bridgerton family. It was a pleasant read, especially since I like historical fiction, although I don't read a lot of the very romantic ones. When the new series about the Bridgerton family was announced on Netflix I was keen to see it. There are just too few historical pieces out there. I was not disappointed. Beautifully filmed with grand houses, wonderful clothes, a romantic setting and full of humour.  What more do you need during these difficult times? Something that makes you forget the outside world.

Having seen the series over two evenings, I was eager to read the rest of the books. So perfect these days when you can borrow e-books from the library or just buy them directly. I spent the end of last year and the beginning of this year reading one a day, more or less.

It might be a little bit too much to read all of them in one go. Some things tend to be similar. But I liked that the stories of finding a wife/husband for the siblings were quite different. You also get into most of the characters as they re-appear in several books.

Easygoing reading of Regency romance.  Perfect set of books for leisurely days. If you are interested in historical pieces the series is a must-see. (image from juliaquinn.com)

  1. I tend to think I'd like this, as I enjoyed the Poldark books and the Corfu books. Thank you for sharing this series.

    1. I love Poldark as well. I am not familiar with the Corfu books. Are they by Gerald Durrell? I am sure you will love these. Perfect, easy reading for troublesome times.

    2. Yes, they are by Gerald. I read My Family and Other Animals in 2004, and then I reread it in 2019. I read the second book in the trilogy right after I did the reread. I still have yet to read the third book.

  2. I'm fascinated by this whole series - both B20 and B23 have been watching and loving the series, which isn't their normal fair at all! Keen to try it myself now :-)

    1. I liked reading the series. Easygoing and romantic for these troubled times. I must say I was surprised by the TV-series adaption, but absolutely loved it. Very dynamic, funny and beautiful.
