January was such a good reading month for me, I finished 5 books. Which to some of you might not seem as much, but to me it definitely. is. They were also 5 books that I thoroughly enjoyed, every single one of them. February – so far – has been very different. I started this book which I thought I’d read in like a day since it is so short, well it’s now the 19th and I have just finished it… Didn’t read anything else yet. 2019 was the year that I would describe as one big reading slump, this…
Happy Valentine’s Day! If you celebrate it that is. I personally don’t, but I did want to share some books that I’ve got on my TBR list that kind of goes with the Valentine’s theme. One of the goals that I set at the beginning of this year is to read more thrillers. Well, I’m doing pretty good with that goal, but I’ve added one. I also want to read more romance. In January I participated in the Romancetheque Bookclub and read Outmatched by Samantha Young and Kristen Callihan. I loved the book so much and it made me wonder…
So, as you may or may not know last year I didn’t read that much. I only read 11 books and the year before it was only 13. I told myself 2020 would be the year for me to finally read more books. That’s also why I started my book club – the Oh My Book Club, if you don’t know about that yet, you can read all about it here. Anyways, January has actually been quite successful on the reading front. I read 5 books. And maybe that doesn’t seem like much to you, but it definitely is to…
January was a great reading month, but also a good Netflix one because I watched some great series. I thought it only fair to share them with you. So, if you’ve been looking for a good show to binge, I’ve got you covered! Dr. Foster This is a show that got me intrigued. First, it starts out with a woman finding out her husband is cheating on her. But then it turns into so much more. It’s quite a dark series. I’d say it’s more of a psychological thriller. I really liked it. There are two seasons, but both only…
It seems like just yesterday when I announced that I was going to host a book club. Where has the time gone? Because it is already the 1st of February, which means it’s time to discuss the January Oh My Book Club read! So, the first book was The Lost Night by Andrea Bartz; a mystery read that takes place in NYC. Let me tell you my thoughts. The Lost Night by Andrea BartzPublished by Crown on February 26st 2019314 pages★★★☆☆ What really happened the night Edie died? Ten years later, her best friend Lindsay will learn how unprepared she…
After getting into the Detective Erika Foster series I got very much into thrillers. Right now it is definitely my favourite genre. So when Dutch publisher Boekerij (which is the publisher of the Erika Foster books) reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to be an ambassador for another thriller series I said yes immediately. Give me all the thrillers! This particular series is the D.I. Kim Stone series by Angela Marsons. The first book Silent Scream has just come out in Dutch; titled Stille Schreeuw and oh my god it was so good! Stille Schreeuw by…
So before I dive into this review, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I’m going to write this in Dutch. Why? Well, this is an original Dutch book, so there isn’t really any point in writing it in English. Recept voor Geluk van Saskia M.N.

I’ve been playing around with this idea to start a book club for a while now. And today I can finally announce that I’m actually doing it. This year I really genuinely want to read more. Not so much to be able to have a nice number of books at the end of the year on my Goodreads challenge, but because I feel like I’ve been missing out. Last year I didn’t read that many books, 11 to be exact. My worst reading year so far… And I’m sad about it because reading is one thing that I enjoy so…
Last year I really enjoyed the Detective Erika Foster series by Robert Bryndza, I read the first two books and loved them both. Those were the books that made me realize I wanted to read more thrillers. That is also one of my reading goals this year. So I had to start 2020 off with a thriller, I picked up book three in this series; Dark Water. And I can tell you it didn’t disappoint! Donker Water by Robert BryndzaPublished by Uitgeverij Boekerij on October 2nd 2018Dutch edition368 pages ★★★★☆ Beneath the water the body sank rapidly. She would lie…
