      Melanie, I couldn’t comment on your blog post because the form is closed. I didn’t know Gail Carriger had a fashion blog, it looks great. On the specific post you mentioned I loved the photo of the people lying on the ground, how stylish!

   You sure like crafting, don’t you? I’m more the “let’s buy stuff on Etsy” type when it comes to that, though, some years back, I was big on making my own greeting cards, quite fancy ones too, but after a while I lost interest and sold most of my supplies.
   Personally, I’m not really following all that many non-book sites, but two I check out on a daily basis are GoComics and TheBerry.

      Oh, Etsy, yes. I also love Etsy. I do like crafting, but unfortunately I often just plan to do things and then never get around to doing them.

   This is great, Rikki! i had no idea you loved interior design and cooking that much! I must admit all my blogs are about books. I do read Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP though and I love it, especially the cooking and buying newsletters.

   I have been reading the Goop newsletter for a few years now and I love how they change topics with every one they send. Also, I read The Happiness Project

   I like Der Spiegel, too! Of course, I have to read the English version. One of my German friends gave me a stack of Der Spiegel magazines to practice my German on, but they are still far beyond me.

      To practice everyday German it would probably be better to read BILD, it would have shorter articles and easier language. But then, who would want to read that sort of “news coverage”, .
