So, you live in a truck? I would love to know more about that since I'm looking up to live in a car/sailboat myself.

Hi @mrprofessor thanks for your entry, i will take a look at your library in a mo, and here's an article i wrote about Alice my truck home a little while back so you font have to sroll down the page to find it. Anything you wish to know about Alice just ask and i will be more than happy to answer 😊

Im waiting for my power to return to 100% untill i can upvote this comment and also your post, wishing you good luck in the contest too 😊

Amazing, I'll check it.
Most of my questions are regarding the cost. I try to compare life at an appartment vs. camper/truck vs sail boat and all the logistic it takes.
I'm getting serious about moving to a 'moving' house as I see it in a more sustainable way, and I can travel around... just need to know how I'll work away.

Hey @mrprofessor, i share the same goal of living and traveling in a sailboat. I've considered staying on land and doing the 'van' thing, but then I took up sailing and now I'm determined to make that part of my life.
But I'd like to recommend and invite you to follow @knot - a steemit blog for sailors, promoting sailing related posts and supporting sailors (pros and enthusiasts). See you there. :)

Awesome, thank you so much for sharing!

I've been reading a lot about sailing and I've been crew for 1 or 2 times, to be honest, I found it quite easy to make the boat move and go where I wanted. Staying alive on the big ocean though is another story HAHAHA

Have you ever analysed the costs between the two options? van vs boat? That's what I'm missing, the planning! Next semester I'll leave my job to travel to a city where a lot of people live in sail boats, to see by myself how it actually works.
We need to be super careful with all those beautiful channels on youtube, most of them are sponsored by publicity companies.

I will upvote your post when my power returns later @leeart thanks for you entry and good luck.
Wishing you a wonderful day 😊

Nice idea to extend the contest. Here is the link to my reply: https://steemit.com/contest/@grwduck/what-s-in-your-library-challenge-by-wizardave-my-answer

Your now entered into the contest @grwduck
Good luck 😊

Here is mine. I almost didn't make it in time
Whew now I am going to read some library posts.
https://steemit.com/books/@headchange/what-s-in-my-library-challenge

I will resteem your post now and will also upvoteyour post and this comment a bit later on @headchange when my power returns 😊
Good luck in the contest and wishing you a great day my friend 😊

Thanks I am waiting for power to rebuild as well. It takes me forever to vote especially since I found out my penny can turn to dust if not used properly 😩 Happy Book Week.

I try to keep my voting power over 80% as it gives a £0.03 upvote and gives people a smile. This week its droped low because of the upvotes for this contest, it really annoys me when a post gets loads of votes worth £0.00 because people have not grasped the concept of recharging and powering up their steem. Anyway i wont bore you, i could write a post about it and i wouldn't want to do that. I would rather be inspired by your books 😀

Oh I am all wrapped up in figuring out the VP right now. Since mine is a dust vote I still have to stack it so it will count. That news burst my bubble big time. I was having such fun putting pennies on comments.
Here's to hoping we will both be bigger fish soon. At least it makes for creative vote strategy.

You have 30 steem power just keep your voting power above 80% it should still be $0.01 even if you have to stop upvoting for a day of so, 20% is around 15 votes a day. Just keep posting quality content and photos and every day your steem goes up 😊

Yes up a bit every day. I found it a bit disappointing to learn of the dust threshold. I figured out a way to work around that so it's all good. Just one more of those things I wish I had learned sooner.

Honored to share my library with you. Too bad I spotted this late in the game but will resteem anyway. Blessings.https://steemit.com/library/@mistermercury/what-s-in-my-library-challenge

This is a great little collection you have @mistermurcury i am going to find myself a copy of The religion and Musashi too they both look like amazing reads. Im also interested in getting a copy of The wise heart too 😊
Thanks for sharing your library and this qualifies as an entry to my what's in your library contest upvoted and resteemed your post to my page
Good luck 😊

Thanks @happysmileyman. i do hope you read The Religion. The author has become a friend of mine. He is from Ireland and has a small stone cottage on the very western edge of Ireland overlooking the Atlantic. He resides there while writing. He is very gifted and very bright. Musashi: a remarkable book. Took me into the world of Japan many centuries ago. I actually re-read the last chapter probably 10 times. It was such a remarkable journey into the marriage of spirit and martial arts. Rather remarkable. Blessings.

I lived out on the west coast of Ireland for a while and i can see where a writer would find inspiration from. I have just managed to get both books from Amazon just now for £30 😊
Thanks for the inspiration 😉

Cool. They are both remarkable books. Not formula books at all. Have fun. The main character in THe Religion was at one time a janissary for the Moslems. Do a little research on that. Rather fascinating.

Hi

Aha! Now I see why you are always happy & smiling! 😉

  • I see several books there I would enjoy reading.
    I have read John Seymour and Napoleon Hill...
    • The Alchemist sound kind of like the Og Mandino books. Have you read them?
      If not, I highly recommend all his books...

Well, it's been nice getting to know you a bit better through your library.

  • Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest!

Upon your recommendation @wizardave i bought a copy of "The Greatest Salesman in the World" by Og Mandino from ebay last night, looking forward to reading it now 😊

Thanks for entering @frejafri your contestant lucky number 13 😊
