In 2015 I finished and published my first translation of a book.

By writing reviews I re-discovered that I love writing and started my blog.

My newest "hobby" after reading, reviewing, translating and writing for my blog is beta-reading.

Exceptionally entertaining Oriental tale

Israel and Iran, hot spot in the Middle East, enemies since ancient times, threats on both sides, deep hatred and disrespect, that's our common perception when we think about these two countries.

On the other hand these are two of the oldest countries with great history and impact on the world beyond description.

And they both have a great tradition: storytelling.

A marriage ends, and you need to find a new way of life with your teenage children. So far it's a quite common story. The problem with this novel is that it is very hard to relate to the characters. Harriet is devastated, but her reactions are strang ...more

Barbara Tsipouras and 57 other people liked Anna Carina's review of Die Holländerinnen: " Gewinnerbuch des Deutschen Buchpreises 2025 Die Holländerinnen lese ich als ein Formexperiment mit der Fremdheit.

I must admit that I struggled to finish this book. It's not bad as such; it has some humor and some nice characters, but overall it is quite boring because nothing really happens. The "mysteries" are just ridiculous. Those "best friends" never learn a ...more

This novel will draw you in, but it offers a lot of questions without ever giving any kind of answer, neither for the story itself nor the questions about religion, Jewish, Christian or Muslim. As farfetched as these events are, I'd put this novel in ...more

Willing To Review Christian Group — 702 members — last activity 3 hours, 52 min ago
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
