Wie ben ik?


Ik ben een 22 jarige voeding & diëtetiek student aan de HAN in Nijmegen. Ik houd sinds ik mij kan herinneren van lezen en schrijven. De laatste paar jaar is de interesse en snelheid van het lezen toegenomen. Ik heb niet specifiek één genre wat ik leuk vind, ik lees Fantasy, Crime, Chicklit, Reizen. Van alles eigenlijk. Ik ben deze blog begonnen omdat ik zelf wat Engelse/Amerikaanse booktubers volg. Maar ik niet echt Nederlandse boekbloggers heb gevonden, behalve grotere organisaties zoals MustReads en Chicklit. De laatste neem ik regelmatig een kijkje. Wel heb ik Nederlandse boektubers gevonden. Ik schrijf deze blog in het Nederlands, maar ik lees mijn boeken over het algemeen in het Engels, waarom? Omdat ik graag het origineel lees, ik ben ook van plan om Duitse boeken te lezen, in dit geval lees ik eerst de vertaling en daarna het Duits. Dit omdat mijn Duits niet goed is, maar ik wel de uitdaging aan wil gaan om het te lezen. Niet in het jaar 2016 , want ik wil dit jaar 38 boeken lezen.

Wat ik naast lezen doe? Ik zing in supergezellig studentenpopkoor, ik ben serie-verslaafd en ik kijk graag film en ik probeer elke dag 15-20 minuten yoga te doen. Ik kook en bak graag en natuurlijk eet ik dat dan ook graag op! Wat ik dit jaar (vaker) wil doen, is vaker naar musea. Ik vind Cultuur opsnuiven leuk en ik vind eigenlijk toch wel dat ik de grote musea in Nederland gezien moet hebben. Ik ben nog nooit naar het Rijksmuseum geweest dus het lijkt mij prima om daar mee te beginnen,

Cruel Beauty & Crimson Bound – Rosamund Hodge

*These books are not translated to Dutch* Cruel Beauty – Rosamund Hodge    This is my first retelling of  fairytale. I wasn’t what to expect. I knew it would be darker than the tale we’re used to. As in the Disney Beauty and the Beast story. I liked it. The first sentence was for me the trigger to read it. “I was raised to marry a monster” In Arcadia the people live under the rules from the Demon Lord, The Gentle Lord. He strikes bargains. But with every bargain there is price you have to pay.  Nyx’s father strikes a deal with the Gentle Lord as his wife couldn’t bear children. He wanted to make her happy and having children would make her more happy than anything else. The price to pay is his daughter to marry him when she’s 17 years old.  Her sister Astria is the reason that her mother died at childbirth. Their father wants to keep her and loves her because she reminds her so much of his beloved wife. Nyx hates her. She doesn’t want to be...

Spindle Fire by Lexa Hillyer

This is not just a retelling about Aurora, but also about another girl, never been told. About her sister Isabelle. These two sisters are very different, but grew up together in the castle. And while Malfleur is getting stronger, the kingdoms are divided. And the girls get separated. This story is different from what I expected, I thought it would be more excitement. But although I was disappointed, it did read like a fairytale. It had a slow pace and that suit the story, the story about Sleeping Beauty. Because the writing wasn’t that fast paced I took my time reading, I even went three days without reading because I didn’t was drawn to it that much. I wish the story would have contained more excitement, more mystery and maybe folklore? I love Folklore and especially in fairytale books! This is definitely a fairytale retelling that reads like a real fairytale, like Hunted by Meagon Spooner. Next year Hillyer will bring out another book “Winter Glass” I think that this will ...

The Queen of the Tearling Series by Erika Johansen

When Kelsea Glynn is 19 years old, a group of men appear at her doorstep and take her to the Keep. There is her castle, because Kelsea isn't just some 19 year old girl. She is the Queen of the Tearling. With every book in this series I needed some time to get into the story, because the chapters are very large and it sometimes switches between POV's. Which is totally fine, but it sometimes distracted me too much. I really like this world building, I had some difficult with understanding when the story takes place (future) but after a while I got it and that made the books better. Although I did not like every aspect of Kelsea, Johansen is such a great writer. I liked how Johansen wrote the mysteries and made it all come together. I often was blown away by the revelation of some aspects of the stories! Kelsea is a strong young woman with a strong mind, but sometimes she does not think her actions through...and that has consequences. I also have a big dislike about her attit...
