For the past couple of years, I’ve heard a lot of praise for this book with quite possibly the longest title ever. Literally everyone seemed to love this book, and though it wasn’t exactly my genre, I had gotten curious about it. So when I saw it at my local bookstore for Read more…
I think I first heard about this book around the time the movie was announced. I was quite intrigued by the summary and decided to get myself a copy a while back. But then, I read a couple of pages and couldn’t really get into it. So I put it Read more…
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This has not changed my opinion in any way. A while ago, I started hearing a lot of things about a book called The One Memory of Flora Banks, and the title surely stayed in my Read more…
Warning: This review is full of rants and spoilers. Please proceed with caution. Back when I first got a Goodreads page, I found out about this book and added it to my TBR list. The summary sounded intriguing, and I liked the ‘letter to my captor’ idea. Fast forward to last Read more…
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This has not changed my opinion in any way. In April last year, Becky Albertalli came to my country and I read Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda. While I probably didn’t love it as much as Read more…
Last year I read a book called Anna and the French Kiss because I had heard so many great things about it, I had gotten very curious. While the main genre of the book wasn’t really my thing, I enjoyed the book a lot and decided I would pick up the second and third Read more…
I bought this book back in May last year because I wanted a nice summery read for the upcoming summer. I then read a couple of pages, and put the book back on my shelf. I promised myself many times that I would pick up the book and read it, Read more…
Last year, this book was released and it almost instantly became one of the most popular books that year. I’d added it to my to-read list, but never really picked it up, not even when I found out I would be meeting the author, Becky Albertalli. This month I finally decided to Read more…
In 2015, I picked up the book Anna and the French Kiss and to my surprise I enjoyed it very much. Author Stephanie Perkins had written two more books in this companion series, so I decided I wanted to read the other two as well, starting with number two Lola and the Read more…
Two days ago, I reviewed the book Where Rainbows End. Today, I’ll be reviewing the movie adaptation, named Love, Rosie. I decided to watch the movie almost immediately after finishing the book, because that was the actual reason I decided to read the book in the first place. Naturally, Love, Rosie, tells Read more…
Before I start this review, I have a confession to make. I only wanted to pick up this book because – in the movie – the role of Alex was played by Sam Claflin (our beloved Finnick Odair in the Hunger Games). I really wanted to see that movie, because Read more…
I’ve been wanting to pick up this book for years, but for some reason I never did. Then finally, I was at the Waterstones in Amsterdam and I saw it there, I decided to just go for it. It was this lovely silver edition that I hadn’t seen before, and Read more…
Because this book I am reviewing is made up entirely out of letters to celebrities, I thought I’d try something like that too. My Dear Frodo Love Letters to the Dead, I honestly don’t remember what I had expected when I heard about you for the first time. Yes I’d heard Read more…
A couple of months ago, I started hearing a lot about Lobsters in the Dutch book blogger’s world. I got really curious about it, but – as always – very careful as well, because hyped books aren’t always my cup of tea. When I heard that the authors of this book would Read more…
Back in 2014, I read a book called Paper Towns. I’d picked it up because it was a John Green book, and I had really enjoyed both The Fault in Our Stars and Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I had hoped for PT to be as good as TFIOS was, but Read more…
In May this year, I read a book called Me and Earl and the Dying Girl which is exactly what you think – a book about a girl who’s dying. Of what, you say? Leukemia. Apparently it’s the kind of cancer that’s in your bones or your blood. (The things you learn Read more…
Ever since I read The Fault in Our Stars, I have started to notice that there are quite a lot of books about people suffering from illnesses. Cancer or Leukemia seems to be the most ‘popular’ choice lately, I believe. Honestly, I have been trying to avoid these books as Read more…
A while ago, I read a book by Morgan Matson titled ‘Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour‘, and I enjoyed it very much. When this book was announced, I didn’t really pay that much attention to it – other than the fact that ‘hey it’s written by that author whose book Read more…
