I saw this yesterday at inside_the_veils and thought it would be easy to get an impressively high count. Turns out, the person who assembled the list and I have very different reading tastes. Only about a third of these books can spark my interest. I found the list a bit anglocentric and think it leaves out quite a few other pieces of "world literature". More on that at the end this post.

BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?

No tagging, I leave it up to you, if you are willing to spare precious time that could be spent, you know, reading. ;o)

...and the reasons why.

A girl can never have enough shoes (or dresses or purses or...). Yet somehow I only ever wear the same few pairs and thought it might be fun to look at the all the other ones. And maybe some of my f-list *cough*xspitefulangelx*cough* would like to see as well. Sadly my camera battery went on strike after three pictures, so I will have to finish this at a later point.

These don't just look 80s, they are original. Bought at a fleamarket in the early 90s, but they still fit. Unfortunately the slim heels and thin soles make them not all that comfortable to wear, but now that they are back it style, I should give it another go.

Hello Internet! *waves*

I totally forgot yesterday to tell you about these cool statues in Hamburg. They are a bit like my distant relatives, the United Buddy Bears, but watercarriers modeled after a local figure.

Went to Ikea last week and got a wreath with appleblosoms.

Hello internet! *waves*

What is this? I thought it was supposed to be summer, but instead Miss P and I had to ask Girl to dig up our warm sweaters. *shivers*

Lately I got a lot of knitting done. The phonesocks deserve their own post, but I also made a protective cozy for my camera. It was knit in a special technique, where you work on two layers at once. That makes it actually quite thick and keeps the camera safe.

I've seen these before in various journals, but every time I read them, I have shivers running down my back. So I thought, it couldn't hurt to put them here as well.
