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

Challenge performance for 2018

Another year is gone and it is time to look how I fared with the Challenges I enrolled in for 2018. I did pretty well, I think, although I did not totally finish some of them. For info on which books I read for each challenge go to Challenges 2019 and scroll down to link 2018. The Full House Reading Challenge Hosted by Kathryn at Book Date . The challenge is to read books that match the criteria in the grid. I proudly managed to finalise this challenge . Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2018 Hosted by Bev at My Reader's Block. Read as much as you can from your TBR piles and try to climb a mountain. I set my aim for Mt. Ararat which is 48 books. Unfortunately, I only made it up to 4, 602 meters which is 535 meters below the top and 5 books down . Well, well, the air is thin up here. Not giving up thought, trying again for 2019! European Reading Challenge 2018 Hosted by Rose at the Rose City Reader , the idea is to read books by European authors or books set in Europe...

Challenges and Memes 2018

Another year, another challenges. I will continue with some of the challenges that I participated in during last year, and there will be some new, I am sure. Probably join some during the year as they turn up. I hope to be more organised in my reading this year, but a lot depends on my TBR shelves. There just have to be less books there in the end of the year. I also aim to read more new books this year. It seems that most of the books I read have been written a few years back. Looking at the three books I considered the best last year, were written in 1901, 1953 and 2002. The last one has to be counted as rather new, I guess! I have divided challenges and memes under two labels this year. They will be easier accessible this way. My Challenges are: Mount TBR Reading Challenge Full House Reading Challenge European Reading Challenge Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge Where Are You Reading Challenge Cloak & Dagger Challenge 2 x 18 Reading Challenge 52 Books in 52 Wee...
