What Is It All About

 I have been a blogger for almost a decade writing in my native Croatian language. My blog’s name is Anin svijet (Ana’s World). I may not be one of those bloggers (and vloggers) who need to post something new every other day so they could maintain their online presence. I started my blog because writing is something I enjoy and something through which I can express myself best. At that time, I was still living in Croatia and most of my “audience” was Croatian-speaking people. But, I have been living in America for several years now, and more and more of my friend do not read Croatian. Hence I decided to create a new blog in English naming in Ana’s New World.

So here it is - the introduction. What is it all about? I read a lot. By that I mean there is seldom a time when I am not reading a book. There were some interruptions when my son was born, but other than that, there is always a book on my nightstand. So, some of my blogs are about the books I read. Not many because there are only a few books that can impress me so much to write about them. Other posts are often my thoughts about the world we live in, events and circumstances that puzzle us, some interesting (but not too controversial topics). And there are just some funny posts about the sunny side of life.

In the beginning, you can read some of my old Croatian posts translated into English. Those are mostly timeless topics such as book reviews, although I sometimes write about current events or the topics of my posts have something to do with current events. But, although I have plenty to say about politics (since I studied journalism and political science), this is not that kind of blog. Besides, I have noticed that politics have been something that deeply divides people and there is enough division in cyberspace without me contributing to that. That does not mean that things I write about are always light topics. They are not. Sometimes I write about different kinds of injustice, hypocrisy, and other illnesses of modern times.

Having said all that, my dear English-speaking friends, I hope you will enjoy reading about Ana’s New World. Have in mind that English is not my first language and disregard any mistakes you may find. As I once said to my husband, Croatian is the language of my heart and sometimes it is not that easy to translate my thoughts. Feel free to comment, or like the link I put on Facebook. I would love to hear some feedback.
