The Life of A Book Blogger: Tag
Hello everyone! I decided to try something new for me today and do a book tag. I’ve been watching a lot of videos of BookTubers answering some fun questions and I thought maybe I should do one. It’s a sunny Sunday here in Groningen and the weather is surprisingly mild. A stressful week of lectures…
Discussion: The Man Booker 2017 shortlist
For many readers, including myself, choosing the next book to read is a difficult task. Thankfully, the Man Booker Prize returns every year and offers by default thirteen suggestions of novels for those of us that enjoy fiction. This year I decided to closely follow the Man Booker from its longlist to its shortlist by…
Book Haul: September 2017
Hello fellow book people! We are well on our way to a mostly rainy and windy Autumn here in Groningen, the university classes have started and the Man Booker shortlist was announced just a couple of days ago. I had decided to undertake the Project Man Booker 2017 here on my blog, by attempting to read all…
Most Anticipated Autumn Books 2017
Since my return to the city of Groningen daily life has attacked me with tasks and mini chores that need to be completed before the beginning of the academy year, much like an animal would prepare for hibernation, and I cannot shake the feeling for a few weeks now that the dreadful Autumn is almost…

Project Man Booker 2017
Hello everyone! It’s been a while.. I’m currently almost at the end of my vacation time in Greece and going through my second readathon of the week.

Book Haul (July 2017)
Hello again and welcome to another book haul! Today’s book haul is deceiving because I actually bought all these books in June. And yes, I’ve been very good to my wallet so far and haven’t bought a single book since the beginning of June which is quite the accomplishment for me. Unfortunately, my booknerd friend…
My BookTube-A-Thon 2017 TBR
It is time, once again, for my most anticipated readathon of the year: The BookTube-A-Thon! Our lovely host, Ariel Bissett, has announced the 7 challenges of this summer’s BookTube-A-Thon and, thankfully, this year I have a chance at all of them. My BookTube-A-Thon run will take place in Greece this year and one potential problem…
July Reads (2017)
As the days grow increasingly rainier here in Groningen, I am getting more and more eager to spend July in hot and sunny Athens. No matter how eager I am to get out of the humidity of the Netherlands straight under the protective cold of my childhood’s bedroom a/c, the Athenian heatwaves are not a…
