Blog Tour| I Hate You – Ilsa Madden-Mills

After reading I Dare You and I Bet You I have become a big fan of Ilsa Madden-Mills. I love her characters and the humor and serious sides of her stories. Her newest book, I Hate You, released this week and today I want to tell you what I thought of this book and a little glimpse of the book with an excerpt. A big thanks to Social Butterfly PR and the author for providing me an ARC to read and review.

Tag| One Tree Hill Book Tag

One of my favorite TV shows is One Tree Hill. My boxset has been staring at me and I think I need to watch this one again soon! I loved everything about it: friendships, romance, family and even the drama!

I was really happy when I saw this One Tree Hill Book Tag. This tag was created by KEYREADTHAT. Let’s take a look at the prompts for this tag!

Bookish Item| My Castlefest Haul

For the past five or six years, every August, I my boyfriend and I go help at Castlefest. It’s a four day festival here in The Netherlands. This year Isabelle even joined us for a couple of days. For the first time I had Saturday off and of course while we walked around, I did some shopping.

So today, I’m going to share my castlfest haul. I’d say it’s a fun festival, if I can buy books there, haha.

TTT #93 | Favorite Tropes

We have been having fun with Top Ten Tuesday, so we decided we will do one every week. This bookish meme was hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and has been going since June 2010! Since January 2018 Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is Favorite Tropes! My first reaction was oeh fun, but I quickly realized this was going to be harder than I imagined at first haha. What would even be considered a trope? I did some googling first haha. However I did my best and I think I came up with some tropes I personally really enjoy! So let’s take a look. Continue reading “TTT #93 | Favorite Tropes”

Bookish Item | 19 before 2019, Did I Read Them?

Last year I did a post about 19 books I wanted to read before 2019. Since we’re about 20 weeks out from 2020, I thought it would be fun to do a 20 before 2020. However, it seems fitting to first take a look at the books I wanted to read before 2019. Did I end up reading them all? Do you want to place any bets? Let’s take a look at that list!

Down the TBR Hole #18

Wow, once again it’s been so long since I’ve done a Down the TBR Hole that I thought it would be a good time to do one again. My Want to Read shelf on Goodreads has increased again, so it’s time to take a look again!

Down the TBR Hole was originally created over at Lost in a Story. It looked like a fun and productive way to finally make a dent in that Goodreads TBR. I went through my want-to-read shelf a little while ago but I think I was still to kind on a lot of books. Let’s see what I’ll make of it this time around. I decided to go with 10 books at a time so lets get started! Continue reading “Down the TBR Hole #18”

Mini Reviews | Shadow Me & Defy Me – Tahereh Mafi

When I started reading Defy Me I realized I had forgotten a lot about Restore Me haha. So a friend told me I should really read the novella Shadow Me first and I’m so happy I did. I don’t have that much to say about either story though, so I thought I would do another round of mini reviews.
since these are book 4,5 & 5 in the Shatter Me series, there will be spoilers for the earlier books!

Bookish Item| My First Experience with Audiobooks

Audiobooks are everywhere these days. When I’m on Facebook, Instagram and even other blogs, I see so many people listening to audiobooks. I know Isabelle is a big fan of them and has been able to read so much more since she started listening to audiobooks.

I’ve always thought they weren’t for me, but I was really curious. So today I have a post about My First Experience with Audiobooks.

Tag | ‘The 100’ Characters Book Tag

Last week was the season finale of The 100 so I thought it would be fun to do a the 100 themed book tag. Hopefully you know how much I loved this show, I did two posts for it last year. I absolutely loved the last season, and I can’t wait for season 7. But it’s so sad it will be the last one, although I’m happy they know when it’s ending so will get a satisfying end (or at least I hope we do haha). I found this tag, the 100 characters book tag over at booktwisterreviews. This tag is a bit older so some of these characters are no longer with us, some new and important ones aren’t mentioned. But I thought it was wonderful and a little bittersweet to look back at these. Let’s get into it! Continue reading “Tag | ‘The 100’ Characters Book Tag”

Review| Roar – Cora Carmack

Roar was released in June ’17 and I read it pretty shortly after that. I can remember, because there are little teeth marks in my cover (I had two tiny kittens running around back then, haha). All of the fans have been waiting for a sequel and after the author had some health issues, we’re finally getting the next one.

With Rage releasing soon, this was a perfect time to re-read Roar. It’s been so long, I needed a refresher! Let’s see what I thought the second time around.
