    1. I’ve been meaning to make this kind of list. I thought maybe I should find the perfect plug-in. But I like the way you did it. Simple.

      1. Thank you. I also searched for some time for a plug in but in the end I decided for this simple method. The only problem is to keep it updated as I am a it lazy when it comes to such things

    1. You are welcome 🙂
      I decided about a year ago to put up this list so people who visit my blog get perhaps some inspiration about other very interesting blogs to check.
      As a I am very lazy when it comes to this list it takes sometimes months until it gets updated….
      Anyways, I greatly enjoy your blog as it gave me already tons of ideas for places to visit in my life!

  2. Thank you for including me. BTW, you forgot the “i” in island 😉 and now I have a reading list. It was sooo good of you to create this page. Hugs from Thailand!

  3. Thanks for the tips! Before I went to Beijing a couple of years ago, I was looking for China-based blogs, but only managed to find very few. If I go to China again, I know where to look:)
