Happy Sunday book friends! I know we all have massive TBRs and that someday it’ll probably become sentient and crush us under its massive weight, but do you also have a wishlist like me and then never buy the books on it? Honestly my TBR doesn’t scare me, my Amazon to-buy list does… So this post will be about all the books I keep meaning to buy but then end up not buying. Mostly these are books that I do want to own, but have already read on my e-reader. So are they a priority? No, which is probably why…
Happy Saturday book friends! So by now I think you know that I come up with different ways to edit my pictures each season. I like to keep both my personal feed and my bookstagram fresh, but also enjoy consistency. So I usually spend some time creating a recipe in VSCO and then apply it to all my pictures. A few months ago I also made a post about how I edit my pics for fall. This post will be very similar to that one, but instead I’m sharing my winter recipe! I’ll show you some before and after pics,…
Happy Thursday book friends! So even though we’ll spend much of December in ~lockdown-type measures~ (but it’s not a real lockdown), I still wanted to make a little winter bucket list, because surely there are many things I can do that don’t require me to leave the house. Last year I didn’t make a winter bucket list, because, well, it was 2020. And I was overall a mess and wouldn’t have done a single thing anyway. But this year I’m feeling a little more active! I looked back on my 2019 holiday bucket list and got a little sad that…
Happy Thursday book friends! It’s the second day of December, and I have compiled a small TBR to share with you. As you know, I hardly ever stick to a TBR, so we’ll see how many books from this list I’ll actually end up reading. There are some books on my December TBR that I just have to read, because I’m superduper close to completing the SFF Badge Collection! I need three more badges before I can claim the Collector badge. This challenge was so fun, and because it spanned the whole year, it was also very manageable. I’m hoping…
Happy Wednesday book friends! This post is going to be a little longer than usual, because I never made a wrap up post for my October reads. Thankfully for you, my reading slowed down to the point that it takes me two months to finish what I would’ve finished in one month at the beginning of the year. So, between October and November, I finished 11 books. Some of them were yet again rereads, but I also read quite some 2021 releases I was looking forward to! Which is honestly about time. Actually now that I look back, I only…
Happy Saturday book friends! I am super late with this post, because for some reason I thought November still had a week left. But it does not. In fact, December starts Wednesday. It’s going to be an odd December for us again in the Netherlands, but I guess we’ll have to make the best of it. I’m not entirely sure yet if I’m going to be able to post every day, but I still felt it would be fun to make a little Blogmas 2021 inspiration post! I tried doing Blogtober, too, and I was only half successful. But keep…
Am I posting two reviews in a row? Yes, I am. I’ve been making good progress reading some of my most anticipated releases of this year, one of which was These Hollow Vows. These Hollow Vows has actually been out for a while now. Actually it’s been out so long that there’s already a cover and release date for its sequel. This series is a duology, so that sequel will be the final book. I’m already excited for it, though! View content warnings Death of family Child abandonment Kidnapping Fire injury Some violence Death Family separation These Hollow Vows By…
Happy Sunday book friends! And long time no see. In all honesty, I’ve been absent because I was too lazy to write anything. I haven’t even read a lot lately either. I did go on a city trip for like a week, but still. Maybe you noticed that I changed my blog theme to winter! These changes always make me excited to write again. I actually finished Thronebreakers on October 29th, and I’m only just now sitting down to review it. Good thing I’ve read exactly two books since then, because otherwise I would’ve never remembered the details. This book…
Happy Wednesday book friends! Do you read books with time travel? I tend to really like these, even though the science behind it often makes my head hurt. Mostly because like 50% of my brain tries to come up with reasons why it wouldn’t work, and the other 50% is telling me to shut up and enjoy the fiction. I haven’t read a whole lot of books with time travel, but the ones I have I’ve often enjoyed. They’re all quite different in setting, too! Time travel is something you’d mostly expect out of a science fiction novel, but some…
Happy Tuesday book friends! We’ve been having plenty of rain lately, though ironically enough, today is quite nice. Either way, the rain will always return, and sometimes it’ll ruin your plans. So here are some things to do on a rainy day when boredom threatens to strike! I tried to come up with things you can do by yourself or with someone else. Of course we can all read all day when it’s rainy out, but we all know that never works out. I myself always end up continuously scrolling through Twitter and get maybe two hours of reading done,…
Happy Sunday book friends! On the one hand, me making this post is very funny, because I’ve been rereading a ton this year. So, how many more books could I possibly want to reread?? Well, a lot, apparently. Really though, of the 70ish books I’ve read so far, 27 have been rereads. I’ve read the Hunger Games, all the Grishaverse books, all the ACOTAR books, and many more. I normally never reread this much, but apparently I was in the mood for it this year. And still there are so many books and series I want to read again! Rereading…
Hello book friends! It’s been a while since I posted. I was going to do Blogtober every day, I had even planned out the schedule, but my energy levels dipped so low. I didn’t the motivation to even open my laptop. But this is an easy enough post to write! My birthday is coming up super soon, and I want to ask my parents for a couple of books from my Wishlist. Or money, which I will then use to buy books from my wishlist myself. There have been a lot of great book releases lately, and I haven’t bought…
Hello book friends! I decided I wanted to do an autumnal book tag this Blogtober. So I went to my good friend Google for some inspiration! I found the Cozy Autumn Book Tag on Lair of Books, but it was originally created by booktuber The Book Belle. If you decide to tag yourself, be sure to link back to the original creator! Here are the questions and my answers: cozy autumn What book always reminds you of autumn? An Enchantment of Ravens is the first book to come to mind. Which makes sense, because it’s literally about a fae prince…
Happy Friday book friends! Today’s post comes with great timing, because I want to talk about ETs and I’m currently rereading a sci-fi series full of ETs. I was planning to read spooky books only this month, but… that didn’t work out. I love books that have extraterrestrial life. The possibilities are endless, and it’s so fun to see authors go all out in coming up with interesting ETs for their stories. In this post I’ll discuss six books: some with the scary type of ET, and some with the nice type of ET. Do let me know what your…
Hello book friends! Do you enjoy books that feature vampires? I think they’re one of the most classic literary monster, and really enjoy a good vampire book every now and then. So I decided to dedicate a special post to vampires! This post will focus mostly on the creatures that dominated European folklore. But know there are many other countries and regions that have vampiric creatures, too! Blood-drinking monsters actually already “existed” in ancient Mesopotamia, although they obviously weren’t called vampires back then. Mostly, they were referred to as demons, but historians seem to think that these ancient beliefs could’ve…
Happy Wednesday book friends! Today is my last day of work for this week, and I’m looking forward to sleeping in. Even though I already do that on the weekends, too… Oh well, I’ll have more reading time as well! Maybe I can pick up one of the books I’m gonna mention in this post… I’m normally very good at reading books that are popular. I’ve read all the Grisha books, I’ve read ACTOAR and Throne of Glass, and also the Selection and the Shatter Me series, to name as few. But there are a few books out there that…
Happy Tuesday book friends! I’m happy, because this week I don’t have to work a lot. I’m have two birthday parties, too, so that’s going to be fun! Less fun is that it’s going to rain bunches too this week… Of course that comes with the season. And yet, there are many reasons why I think fall is great! To be honest, I don’t know if fall is my favorite season. The cozy vibes are great, but I also immensely enjoy summer and winter. Although last summer was horrible weather-wise, so maybe summer is not my fav anymore. Anyway, here…
Happy Monday book friends! I made my Blogtober schedule and completely forgot to factor in reviews… Good thing that I was too lazy to write the post that was actually meant for today, because now I get to talk about Lovely, Dark and Deep! At the very beginning of my blogging journey, I was approached by author Claudia Cain to read and review her book Silver and Bone, which I loved. I actually loved it so much I bought the second book immediately and read that, too. So yes, I was excited to read Lovely, Dark and Deep, which is…
Hello book friends! You ever read a book and you enjoyed it but it just never comes up in conversation? Or you never feature it in your pictures or videos? And never even reviewed it? As it turns out, I have many of those. So here is a list of books I enjoyed but hardly ever talk about! I actually made a post like this last year, and I still never talk about the books listed there lol. But I have some additions to the list, so here are some more books I hardly feature anywhere! hardly talk about The…
Hello book friends! Remember ages ago when I posted a little “how alike are our reading tastes” quiz? Well, I thought I’d post another quiz, this time about covers! Let’s not pretend we don’t all cover buy every now and then. If a book has a beautiful cover I am so much more likely to pick it up in the store and see what it’s about. So, in honor of pretty covers, I designed a quiz that will determine how similar our cover tastes are! I love making this quizzes. I use Try Interact in case you want to try…
