Ännu en röd tisdag :-) I morgon åker julen ut men jag hinner en sista julbild före det.
Last breaths of this past christmas will be the photo for this week's Ruby Tuesday. "Tjugondag Knut" is the day we throw out xmas in our house. Old traditions. Twenty days after christmas and that is the 13th of January - as in tomorrow. One more day, the poinsiettia and heart embroidered drapes will stay up :-)
Jag hade redan bestämt mig att lägga upp min julgardin när jag läste att Mary ville se röda böcker. Därför utökar jag mitt inlägg med lite "bilder ur min bokhylla".
Since I hade already set my mind on putting up the embroidered kitchen curtains/ drapes this week and Mary wanted to see red books, I decided to expand my Ruby Tuesday post to include some shots from my bookshelves. Or rather photos of some of their content :-)
I love to read and I now see from the novels I chose for these shots, that they all are in original language, English! I prefer to read a lot of the books in the English original if I can get my hands on them. Not a too difficult task these days with all the Internet shops available. Some of them are "lost in Translation". Especially the Potter books are not very benefited, being red in Swedish for an adult reader... As you can tell, I am a fan of fantasy and fiction. Demons, vampires, wizards and the occational detective novel. These are the ones that recently been read, that happened to have some red in the covers.
~ Gena Showalter is one of my new favorite authors and I have eagerly read all her books about the Lords of the Underworld, both in paper form as well as the digital editions (that will come in paper form at a later date, she says on her site).
~ Charlaine Harris books about Sookie Stackhouse are all read and listened to. She also writes about Roe Teagarden, a former librarian who stumbles across murdered people more times than anyone should. Have you seen the English TV series Midsomer Murders? A bit like that :-)
~ The Harry Potter books are here represented by the seventh and last one. Love these and have read them several times as well as listened to Audio Books.
~ John Bauers Sagovärld - is a fairytale and storybook filled with John Bauer's darling troll and fairy illustrations.
~ Barbie Millicent Roberts - a book filled with mere eye candy but I also own a few encyclopedias and other books stuffed with information about this eleven inch lady and her world.
~ Two of several books about birds I frequently search info in. Not on daily bases but they stand there waiting for that bird ID question, or other for the moment needed info.
~ Sju sorters kakor - is an absolute classic among cookie recipe books in Sweden. Two issues from different years. I tend to go back to the one to the right, the oldest of my two. No idea how many issues they have made if this one, but it has been around for several decades!
Lördag morgon, sista dagen för ESC-veckan. Galenskaperna avlöser varann. Petra Mede gör ett kanonjobb. Superproffs. Men, det blir sen, nu är det kryss på agendan. Vi började dagen med en melodi till ett barn, inspelad för sjuttio år sen, O Mio...
