fantasy ♥ paranormal ♥ horror ♥ science-fiction
The last few months have been quite stressful for me, and consequently I have very little focus. Though it’s slowly getting better, I still have a hard time actually sitting down with a book, and an even harder time finishing anything. I’m usually quite a fan of long and/or complicated books, but at the moment […]

A few weeks ago I was doing a late night internet browse to find some more fabulous fantasy fiction to read. However, I found out that it was surprisingly tough to find good lists of fantasy recommendations. Mostly I found separate reviews – which are awesome – but sometimes you don’t feel like browsing through […]
If there is anything I love, then it’s data visualisation. There is just something so incredibly pleasing about seeing lists and graphs and tables. I barely keep track of things in real life (for example, I only occasionally actually open my planner to write appointments in there…) but when it concerns my entertainment, I’m a […]
When looking at my shelves for something to read this week, I realized something – I’m severely lacking horror books! I have some Stephen King, some YA books here and there.. But all in all my collection is rather tiny. And with Halloween coming up (yes, I’m already excited for that), I need your spooky […]
This post is part of the Austen in August event hosted by Roofbeam Reader. Participating in this event, I’m going to tell a little story. The first Jane Austen book I read was in 2010. Growing up in the Netherlands means that I wasn’t familiar with most of the English classics, but ever since joining […]
While I’m not actually all that great at sticking to reading plans, I do love creating bookish lists. Because of school I’ve barely had any time to read, and I cannot wait to make up for the lack of reading this summer! While I’m obviously just going to read whatever I feel like, I’m going […]
Two lovely ladies have teamed up for this year’s Harry Potter Month. This event hosted by Faith and Micheline celebrates anything Harry Potter. People can compete in a house cup by collecting points through participation. Like last year, I’m representing Slytherin! Because this post is so incredibly image heavy, it’s hiding behind the read more […]
April is going to be a typical in-between month for me. I’m neck-deep into writing my thesis, and trying to get two other papers for uni into decent shape as well. April also marks the start of birthday season (all of my friends have their birthdays right after each other in spring, which is both […]
