Top Ten Tuesday: Five Star Predictions on my TBR

If you’re having a sense of deja vu right now, then that makes sense. I made a very similar post not too long ago! But this top ten Tuesday topic is all about my TBR, not necessarily new releases. Click here to read which new releases I predict to be five star reads! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly tag created by That Artsy Reader Girl. You can find all the prompts up until April here! This week’s prompt is “books on my TBR that I predict will be 5-star reads.” For this post, I won’t include the ones I…

February releases you need to keep an eye on

Happy February, readers! I hope this month will treat you well. Of course, near the end of 2019 I published my most anticipated releases for 2020. You can find it here! But after taking a closer look at the list of new releases on Goodreads, I realized that there are definitely some books coming out this month worth mentioning. I have to admit that sometimes when I write my anticipated releases posts I look only at authors whose books I already own. And I definitely don’t include books in series I haven’t caught up with yet. I think it’s time…

Fae Friday: books that gave me chills

Time for another Fae Friday post! This week’s topic is the Winter Court, a definite chilly place. So which books left me with all the chills? Fae Friday is a weekly tag hosted by Caffeinated Fae! Find all the prompts here. This particular winter prompt was co-created by Leah from Leah’s Cooks and Books, so check out her blog as well! I feel like this is a prompt you can take literally and figuratively. Because the book can either describe cold, wintery situations so well, that I feel cold too, or it’s just so good I got chills from it.…

Dutch things that are kinda weird

I’m sure you’ve seen them… Articles where foreigners explain what American concepts they find weird. Prices excluding tax, gaps between bathroom stalls, et cetera. In the end, I believe every country has its quirks, so this post is about weird things I’ve noticed in the Netherlands! When you’ve lived in one country your whole life, you’re used to the concepts that “outsiders” might find strange. I myself am no exception. Having lived most of my life in the Netherlands, there are a lot of typical Dutch things I do not think twice about. But these things might be weird for…
