Bloggers Give Reading Joy & Our World Our Art

This year the German blogging event Blogger schenken Lesefreude (bloggers give reading joy) took place again at the end of April.

 

I was lucky to win the novel Bruderliebe (Brotherly Love) by Stefanie Heindorf and Karthrin Lange which Melanie from Taya's Crazy World had chosen to give away as prize. She sent along a great postcard showing the Philae Temple of Isis on Agilkia Island in Egypt.

The book is a fresh take on the Rapunzel fairy-tale, taking place in Germany in the beginning of the 19th century. Since I am a fan of Disney's Tangled, it will be just great to read this approach of the well-known story. Melanie, a big thanks for making this possible!

Moreover, I had waited such a long time for the blogging event Our World Our Art, yet then I actually missed its starting date in the beginning of April. Since only 13 bloggers participated, I was was obviously not the only one, as the previous event One World One Heart had drawn in hundreds of bloggers. Anyway, Marion from Bockel24 was one of the talented artists who took part in the event, presenting her amazing mixed media art. I was delighted to be one of the lucky winners, getting this beautiful postcard which is now displayed in my study:

 

A smile on the face is a sign that the heart is at home.

Thanks so much, Marion! Your postcard makes me smile every time I see it.
