TTT #60| Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2019 Part 1
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 last January Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Best Books I Read in 2018. I decided not to do this one, because we just posted three posts about our favorite reads (Backlist Books, New Releases and Romance Books). Doing this topic again, is a bit too much.
That’s when I looked at next week’s topic: Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2019. Isabelle will be doing this one as well next week, so my Top Ten Tuesday this week is part 1.

Show Sunday | Favorite TV Shows of 2018
Apart from reading tons and tons of books, I’m also a huge tv show fan. I have seen quite a lot of them during this year and I wanted to share some of my favorites. When making this list I was thinking of maybe sharing my 10 favorite shows haha, so naive! I ended up do 18, as we did with out favorite books (backlist and new releases) because narrowing it down was HARD. These are all shows that had a season (or half a season) during 2018. Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Show Sunday | Favorite TV Shows of 2018”

Bookish Item | Least Favorite Books of 2018
We’ve been sharing some of our absolute favorite books we read this year and there were A LOT! Over the course of the past two weeks or so we posted lists with our favorite backlist books and our favorite 2018 releases, but unfortunately not all the books I read were favorites. I know my reading tastes quite well, so I usually pick up books I do enjoy. But every now and then there are some books that really disappoint me. Luckily there aren’t nearly as much books on this list as there were on my favorite lists. But I did end up rating 3 books with 2 stars this year, and I have 5 more that I rated 3/3,5 stars that I was expecting to rate much higher. So let’s take a look at my most disappointing reads in 2018. Continue reading “Bookish Item | Least Favorite Books of 2018”

Unboxing | Sintekerst
Last week Candyce and I met up with our bookish friends so celebrate ‘Sintekerst’ together. Sintekerst? I hear you ask, yes, you read that right haha. It’s a mashup from Christmas (Kerst in Dutch) and our Dutch holiday Sint Nicolaas. We exchanged presents after we went out for a lovely dinner. Last year we did this as well and on the way home we were surprised by a ton of snow. And of course this year the weather forecast said there was going to be snow again! Luckily the weather wasn’t too bad and we got a change to exchange our presents. Excited to see what we got? Keep on reading! Continue reading “Unboxing | Sintekerst”
