Catching up!

So, this week I'm somewhat late with my weekly posts, so I decided to do them in one post.

Oh, and as with the last posts, if you click on the covers, it leads you to Amazon where you can buy the books!



Here's my Mailbox Monday, hosted by Marcia. If you want to join in, feel free to drop by!

I received only one book:


An Grenzen: Acht Reisen durch Israel und Palästina, edited by Florentine Dame & Elizabeth Weydt (translated title: On Borders: Eight journeys through Israel and Palestine)

This book started out as an idea of two political science students. They got together a group of eight students from all over Germany with different backgrounds and language skills and teamed them up in 4 teams. Each of the teams traveled through Israel and Palestine, starting in Tel Aviv and ending their journey in Jerusalem. On the route, they met people of different religions and stayed with them - and they all came back with a collection of reports.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about bookstores…

How many bookstores do you frequent? Do you have a favourite? If so, which one and what makes it so?

I have three favorite book shops here in Germany. One is Hugendubel, which is really big and they have lots of great books - if I didn't have to watch what I'm spending I would leave that place with huge bags filled with books every time I go there.

The second place is an English book shop at the Eschenheimer Tor in Frankfurt, which is called Readers Corner. They have an awesome variety of books there, and the women (I've never seen a male salesperson there) give great recommendations and really seem to know the books they're selling!

And the last place is a book shop about 20 minutes from my hometown. They are neither as big as the first one nor do they have awesome salespeople like the second, but I somehow still love going to that book shop.

Teaser Tuesday is hosted by MizB. If you want to join, just go over there and post a link to your teasers!

Grab your current read

Let the book fall open to a random page

Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!

There is only one VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER:
*** Do NOT post anything that could spoil the plot of the book!!! ***

If your sentences that fall between lines 7 and 12 on the page you turn to give too much away, choose a different page, or a different spot on the page… we don’t want to ruin any surprises for anyone!

Frank was stretched out in a garden chair, eyes closed, face slanted up to the sun. "Another perfect day," he said when he heard her football.
