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

Two new, free books and the largest Abbey Monastery Library

I have been 'on the road' for about six weeks. We have been driving around Croatia, Slovenia and Austria in our camper van. Busy most of the time and not so much time for reading, as you might have noticed. Not a lot of action on my blog lately. Now we are back in Innsbruck and I am ready to dive into the blogging again. I will also go through all your blogs on my Feedly which by now has some 700 entries. There might be a few late comments. In most camping sites people tend to leave their finished books behind. It is always a pleasure to see what other people are reading during their holidays. In the area where we were (Croatia) there are mostly German and Austrian tourists so most books in German. Although I speak German it would take me forever to finish a book, so they are out.  At the beautiful camping in Zaostrog I ran into some luck. I found two books, and one in Swedish. Yay! Both books seem to be very interesting.  Aren't the covers just georgious? Binas historia/Bi...

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?
