It’s true, I spend a vast amount of time reading – books, book blogs, book reviews – but in all of that time, not a lot of it is spent reading stuff that is not book-related. My Twitter-feed is heavily weighted to publishing, authors and book reviews; my blogroll features predominantly fellow book-bloggers; and I don’t do Facebook or Insta… It’s only my (rarely used but nonetheless loved) Pinterest account that reveals online interests other than books – namely gin, cooking, swimming pools, and travel destinations I dream about.
Here are my favourite websites that aren’t about books –
01. Dear Photograph and Back to the Future – I’m going to do this one day. Just trying to find denim as ace as what I wore then:
02. Broadsheet – my good-ideas-for-a-night-out go-to-spot
03. And if I haven’t found what I’m looking for on Broadsheet, I hit The Urban List
04. How Sweet It Is – clever cooks who take beautiful photographs win me
05. Drizzle and Dip – ditto
06. Lady and Pups – ditto with added snark
07. The Little Library Cafe – okay, it’s a bit bookish…
08. The Ginstress – needs no explanation
09. I do like the websites associated with my favourite magazines – International Traveller and Australian Gourmet Traveller
10. Slow Travel Berlin – and in particular, the #52lakes project
Thanks for the Berlin site link. I’m off for my third visit in September, starting a little jaunt around Central Europe there. One of my favourite cities alongside Lisbon and Amsterdam.
Lucky, lucky you! So jealous 🙂
I went to Berlin for the first time two years ago – I had been to Germany many times but have ‘family’ (I was an exchange student there) in the south, so each time I visit I spend all my time in the south. I finally got to Berlin and fell in love – my few days were no where near enough and I’m planning to have much longer there and do it the ‘slow’ way! I came across Slow Berlin because they run interesting historical walks and bike rides along the entire wall, so you can see where the wall cut through suburbs.
We’ve spent two lots of five days there and I feel I’ve barely scratched the surface. It’s such an exciting city.
Really great list, I love the Dear Photograph link!
I love that some places have changed incredibly and others, not at all.
Ooh, great links! I love checking out travel websites, think up new travel itineraries <3
I do find travel websites a bit of a rabbit hole! (and my plans always exceed my budget and time!)
That’s a great list! #10 looks very useful, I’d like to visit Berlin again sooner or later.
HA – I love that your first outside interest is gin. And swimming pools. I need to check out some of these food blogs.
TOTALLY just fell down the rabbithole of those photograph blogs!! How fun.
Didn’t know any of these sites but it looks like a great list! I’m definitely going to look at some of them 🙂
All these food photographs are making me hungry with a strange ambition to take up still-life photography…featuring food. Great links!
I love how your non-bookish interests are just alcohol and travel. That’s really everything anyone ever needs lol. Great List I’ll definitely have to check some of these out
