[BOOKISH ARTICLE] Happiness is… Buying Books!
Buying books is definitely something that brings me happiness. A couple of months ago, I was quite proud (but also sad at the same time, lol) of the fact that I hadn’t put in many preorders for the upcoming months. I was barely reading because I was in a slump and seeing that I wasn’t blogging anymore I therefore also paid less attention to upcoming releases > this way I was able to focus on the books on my shelves and my kindle tbr. At least, this is the theory, lol. Recently I started blogging again and the reading has picked up a bit, so I started looking at upcoming…

[BOOKISH ARTICLE] 2019 reader & blogger goals
Over at Melissa’s bookworld.com I always loved talking about reading challenges/goals and blogging goals. Even though I often end up failing them, I keep making new ones each year haha.

[BOOKISH ARTICLE] Goodreads 2018 re-cap + 2019 goal

[BOOKISH ARTICLE] Romance Author & Reader Events a.k.a. RARE
Some of you may know already that I love reading romance books a lot. Contemporary romance, romance combined with fantasy and paranormal elements. Just basically every kind of romance, lol; Love, love, love all of it. I have many favorite authors who write romance books. Some years ago I discovered this event called RARE. It’s an event focused on Romance authors and Readers in Europe. Aside from the ‘Boekenbeurs in Antwerpen’, I don’t think there’s another book event that’s as huge as RaRe is, over here in Europe. It takes place a couple of times per year, divided over different cities. Each city event can be different from one another…
