LittleW Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My name is Kerstin, I'm 29 years old, from Germany. I love reading, mostly novels, travelling and Karate. I'm reading many English books, but I'm not used to talking or writing English. So please forgive me, if I sound a bit weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyzenthlay Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hello hello. I don't know much German literature, but I've read InkHeart! None of the sequels though... Wait, is captain bluebear German? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Wait, is captain bluebear German? Yes, Captain Bluebear is German! I looooove Walter Moers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleW Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks for that warm welcome. @ Hyzenthlay: I've never read any of the Books you mentioned, and I can only guess, which you mean. InkHeart must be Tintenherz, and, shame on me, I wouldn't have been shure, Captain Blaubär is originally German, hadn't Kylie said, its from Walter Moers.

LittleW Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Thank you, lauraloves. I've got a question: I read the abbrevation TBR here, what does that mean? I think, it could be something about unread books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 It means To Be Read, so people often refer to "Mount TBR" or "My TBR pile". Me, personally, I have a "TBR shelf" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyzenthlay Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 InkHeart is Cornelia Funke They're pretty popular in Poland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yep, I have a 'TBR Shelf' as well . Welcome to BCF, Kerstin! Glad you joined us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleW Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 I also have a TBR shelf then, mixed with the books already read. InkHeart is from Cornelia Funke? Yes, then I know it, it's really Tintenherz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 You might know the TBR shelf or mount TBR as SUB (Stapel ungelesener Bücher) from germen book forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleW Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yes, I know that one. And if it had been a BTR, I would have guessed Books To Read. I just couldn't make sense of what the abbrevation should mean read out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
