In aflevering 3 van seizoen 2 van Liefteratuur spreek ik met feelgoodauteur Hilde Veeren. Afgelopen zomer verscheen Hildes eerste roman, Duinroos: een cosy romance (ook wel cosy feelgood), deel 1 in de Cottage aan zee-serie. Inmiddels is het tweede deel, Maretak, ook verschenen en werkt ze aan deel 3.Daarnaast is ze ook nog eens hoofdredacteur van Elegance én Happy in Shape, dus ik was benieuwd: hoe zorgt Hilde ervoor dat ze tijd heeft om te schrijven aan haar boeken? En wat heeft ze met Engeland (en specifiek Somerset, de plek waar de Cottage aan zee-serie zich afspeelt)? Hilde heeft antwoord op al mijn vragen, én meer!Boeken die in deze aflevering worden genoemd en/of besproken:• Duinroos en Maretak, deel 1 en 2 in de Cottage aan zee-serie van Hilde Veeren• De bruggen van Madison County, van Robert James Waller• On writing van Stephen King (in het Nederlands verschenen als Over leven en schrijven)• De schelpenzoekers van Rosamunde Pilcher• De Talisman van Dominique Lap• Het zoutpad van Raynor Winn• The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society van Mary Ann Shaffer en Annie Barrows (in het Nederlands verschenen als Het literaire aardappelschiltaart genootschap van Guernsey)

Thank you!“It all started with Miss Prim.For many years, I was convinced of a tragic lie: that novels were lesser things than non-fiction. In my youth, a novel was a school assignment to trudge through, because some conclave of intellectuals blessed it with merit. At best, the story within would relate to some "real" thing of interest. This conviction became less of one over time. And it changed completely in January when the ancient widow character in The Awakening of Miss Prim shook my depths. From there I began novel reading for pleasure; to soften all the hardness; to elevate the soul.I am not a speedy reader, but I managed 13 novels this year. I painted a little painting for each book, which I happily display here.” -Kelly CurtisFeatured books in this episode:* The Great Divorce CS Lewis* The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis* The Awakening of Miss Prim: A Novel by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera * Little Women by Louisa May Alcott* Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery* Jane Austen's books* Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk* Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy* The Scent of Water by Elizabeth Goudge * The Dean's Watch by Elizabeth Goudge* Skyward Novellas by Brandon Sanderson* Lord of the Rings by J.

Douglas* Thomas Becket: Warrior, Priest, Rebel by John Guy* The Histories of Earth series by Steven J. Carroll with Joel Froomkin (Narrator) Further information now that I've finished the series: book four does have some “religious content” in that they meet a society founded by Ancient Romans and tell them the history that came since Ancient times on Earth including the downfall of their Empire and the influence of Christianity in that time. They are all appalled (lol) to have ever become a monotheistic society. It does not proselytize. I loved this series and cannot recommend it highly enough! * Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Engdahl * The Confessions, Revised: Saint Augustine (The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century, Vol. 1) by Augustine and Maria Boulding (Translator)* The Julian Messner Shelf of Biographies- Link is to our printable series list* The Story of Clara Barton of the Red Cross by Jeannette Covert Nolan * Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsk Kelly's other covers from last year:Thanks for listening!

We've got one of our favorite topics this week, the book was better. Each book was turned into a tv show, one we've seen and one we haven't, but we're certain the books are better! Kristia branched out with a historical fiction read, and the whole story is written in the form of letters. Set shortly after the second world war, this story is full of enjoyable characters that make it hard to set down. Rachael found out her book is closer to a spy novel than she expect. She's got a flight attendant with a drinking problem, who probably didn't kill that guy, but she doesn't listen to her lawyer. Note: it's usually best to take your lawyer's advise.

Don't have time to waste on terrible books? Kim and Aimee help you out with a spoiler-free review of an epistolary novel that combines romance, war, comedy, literature and tragedy, the fabulously-titled  'Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. 

If you've got the time to indulge in an epistolary novel set in the immediate aftermath of WWII -- THIS is the one for you. It's a NO from me!

Was liest eigentlich eine Bibliothekarin? Wo blüht der Zitrangenbaum? Und wo fanden Autoren wie Arthur Schnitzler und Karl Kraus ihre Ideen? Antworten gibt es in der neuen Folge des Bücherpodcasts. Kaffeehausgefühl im Podcaststudio: Daniel erweckt mit österreichischem Quarkkuchen das Wien von Arthur Schnitzler und Karl Kraus zum Leben. Die Bestsellerchallenge führt die Hosts über das Mittelmeer, in das Land, wo die Zitrangenbäume blüh'n. Jan schwärmt aber lieber von einer literarischen Reise nach Afghanistan. Zu Gast ist diesmal die Leiterin der Hamburger Öffentlichen Bücherhallen, Frauke Untiedt, die erzählt, dass Bibliotheken längst nicht mehr der Ort sind, in dem eine strenge Bibliothekarin für Stille sorgt. Im Gegenteil: Klaviermusik und Diskussionen bei Chips und Cola sind ausdrücklich erwünscht. Also: Tüte auf und guten Appetit. Die Bücher dieser Folge 00:01:14 Nicole Giger: "Ferrante, Frisch und Fenchelkraut" (AT Verlag) 00:04:37 Leïla Slimani: "Das Land der Anderen" (Luchterhand) 00:14:26 Tomasz Jedrowski: "Im Wasser sind wir schwerelos" (Hoffmann und Campe) 00:18:29 Donal Ryan: "Die Stille des Meeres" (Diogenes) 00:41:48 Mary Ann Shaffer: "Deine Juliet" (btb) 00:46:35 Khaled Hosseini: "Drachenläufer" (Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag) Das Rezept für Quarkkuchen wie im Wiener Kaffeehaus Zutaten Für den Boden: 150 g Haferkekse 30 g gebrannte Mandeln 60 g Butter, geschmolzen Für die Quarkmasse: 4 Eigelb 25 g Butter (weich) 250 g Zucker 1 kg Magerquark 4 EL Grieß 1 Päckchen Vanillezucker 4 Eiweiß 1 Prise Salz Für das Topping: 30 g gebrannte Mandeln 50 g Pekannüsse 2 EL Ahornsirup 250 g Brombeeren Zubereitung Haferkekse und Mandeln in einem Plastikbeutel mit einem Nudelholz fein zerbröseln, mit der Butter vermischen und diesen Teig dann in einer gefetteten Springform auf dem Boden mit einem Löffel andrücken. Die Eigelbe mit dem Zucker und der Butter schaumig rühren, dann den Magerquark, den Grieße und den Vanillezucker daruntermischen. Das Eiweiß mit einer Prise Salz steif schlagen und unter die Quarkmasse heben. Das Ganze dann in die Springform gießen und ab in den Backofen: eine Stunde bei 170 Grad auf der mittleren Schiene mit Umluft. Backofentür geschlossen halten und auch im Ofen auskühlen lassen. Für das Topping Mandeln und Nüsse kleinhacken, mit 1 Esslöffel Ahonrsirup vermischen und dann auf einem Backblech mit Backpapier bei 120 Grad 20 Minuten rösten. Die Brombeeren mit einem weiteren Esslöffel Ahornsirup bei geringer Hitze zwei Minuten lang köcheln. Den Kuchen am Besten im Kühlschrank aufbewahren, und das Topping aus Früchten und Nüssen erst beim Servieren drübergeben. Feedback, Anregungen und Ideen? Her damit! Wer Feedback geben oder eigene Lieblingsbücher nennen möchte, der erreicht die drei Hosts per E-Mail unter eatreadsleep@ndr.de. Der Podcast wird alle 14 Tage freitags um 6 Uhr veröffentlicht und läuft als Gemeinschaftsprojekt unter der NDR Dachmarke - zu hören und hier zu abonnieren - oder aber in der ARD-Audiothek.

It goes without saying that you can be a book lover whether you read 1 book a year or 200. But those book lovers who consume books like the potato chips no one can resist, reading over 100 books a year, are a little unique. We couldn't be happier to welcome Jacqui Daves Isser to the show. Jacqui is a middle school librarian who lives outside Austin TX but she is also a "super reader". She read 168 books last year and is on track to read more in 2021. If middle grade literature needed a spokesperson to tell adults why they should add it to their reading rotation, Jacqui is their girl.
