🇬🇧 bookish reviews 🇳🇱
Isabelle and Alexander by Rebecca Anderson starts with a marriage of convenience between well, Isabelle and Alexander. Isabelle isn’t opposed to the marriage, as she thinks he is very handsome and she can learn to love him, but leaving her family and childhood friend behind is quite a change she didn’t really anticipate. Alexander seems… Continue reading Isabelle and Alexander – Rebecca Anderson
Welkom bij de blogtour van “Wie ik gisteren was” van Pamela Sharon! Gister was Lara van Selected Rebels aan de beurt en vandaag mag ik! Ik vind het zo leuk dat ik hieraan mee mag doen! Dus laten we snel beginnen... ik zal eerst even de beschrijving van het boek delen, zodat we allemaal weten… Continue reading Blogtour “Wie ik gisteren was” – Een ontlede cover
Wie ik gisteren was van Pamela Sharon gaat over Yara, die net gediagnosticeerd is met cvs, chronische vermoeidheid. Het zet haar leven en het gezinsleven op zijn kop, ze moet opnieuw uitvinden wie ze is, en hoe ze hiermee omgaat. Ondertussen komt er een nieuwe game op de markt, die levensecht lijkt, en soms is… Continue reading Wie ik gisteren was – Pamela Sharon
I would classify The Art of Saving the World as urban scifi with a pince of fantasy. Honestly, it defines genres because it’s so unique! But before I go into that, let me tell you a bit what it’s about. When Hazel Stanczak was born, a giant rift appeared beside her house. And if she… Continue reading The Art of Saving the World – Corinne Duyvis
Toen ik de sterkste was van Jason Reynolds heeft best wel een indruk op me achtergelaten. Ik vind zijn schrijfstijl heel mooi, heel rauw maar toch weer met een poëtisch randje, al lijkt dat eigenlijk een tegenstelling. Heel nuchter vertelt hij de feiten over een zwarte wijk waar Ali en zijn vrienden/buren Noodles en Needles… Continue reading Toen ik de sterkste was – Jason Reynolds
I would never have thought a book would be published about a chronically ill curvy Black woman, let alone that she would be the main character in a steamy romance novel. And even more amazing: the chronic illness rep is spot on! It isn’t hidden away, it isn’t cured in the end, there is no… Continue reading Get A Life, Chloe Brown – Talia Hibbert
It’s really difficult to write a review for The Silvered Serpents by Roshani Chokshi. I 100% loved The Gilded Wolves, and then I got a chance to read the e-arc (has not influenced my opinion, my fangirling is embarrassingly authentic) so I immediately started reading and didn’t stop till it was finished. This book is… Continue reading The Silvered Serpents – Roshani Chokshi
Sisters of Sword and Song by Rebecca Ross is a YA fantasy standalone. And that’s one of the many things I love about it: no waiting for sequels! I really wish there were more fantasy standalones, and Rebecca Ross clearly proves that it can be done to have a whole new world captured in one… Continue reading Sisters of Sword and Song – Rebecca Ross
🇬🇧 English below 🇬🇧 Vijf stappen van jou is een boek dat is geschreven ná de film zelf, dus vanaf het script. Ik dacht dat het een origineel boek was waar de film op is gebaseerd, maar het is dus andersom, en ik moet zeggen dat ik daar vrij snel achter was, want laten we… Continue reading Five Feet Apart (Vijf stappen van jou) – Rachel Lippincott
Before She Ignites features Mira Minkoba, a girl who’s become the face of a treaty signed between the nations of the seven isles. She is a political figurehead, who gets told what to say by the government. However, when she stumbles across something she shouldn’t have seen, her peaceful luxurious life (with an awesome baby… Continue reading Before She Ignites – Jodi Meadows
Wow this was quite the ride! I adored the concept of this book: through some sort of epileptic seizures Nolan gets a glimp of a whole other world through the eyes of a girl named Amara every time he closes his own eyes. That can be a blink, a whole night’s sleep, and it even… Continue reading Otherbound – Corinne Duyvis
In Isaiah’s Legacy we pick up the story after Isaiah’s Daughter ended, within the last 15 years of Hezekia’s reign. We meet some old characters again, but don‘t worry, if you haven’t read the first book this can very well be read as a standalone, all the important information is included (for people who have… Continue reading Isaiah’s Legacy by Mesu Andrews
De geur van groen van Pamela Sharon gaat over een 17-jarig blind meisje, Raaf. Ze ziet de wereld door de ogen van haar vriendin May-Lin, die haar vertelt hoe alles in elkaar zit. De twee meiden kunnen niet zonder elkaar, en vormen echt een symbiotische eenheid, Raaf is afhankelijker van haar dan ze eigenlijk wil… Continue reading De geur van groen – Pamela Sharon
The Rebel Bride by Shannon McNear is the tenth book in the Daughter of the Mayflower series, though each book is a standalone and does not feature characters from other books. As it’s been my privilege to read most of this series, I’ve followed all the stories through American history and I’ve learned quite a… Continue reading The Rebel Bride by Shannon McNear
Sometimes a book is everything you want. I’ve been searching for a book like this, and have never found it in all these years. The requirements were quite simple: a book where chronic illness is presented as normal, nothing more, nothing less. No heroic teenager who bravely fights on and inspires other people, no one… Continue reading Sick Kids in Love by Hannah Moskowitz
Elizabeth Camden is one of my autobuy authors. I see a new book, I click “add to cart” and then patiently wait 6 months for it to be released. This time I got extremely lucky as I was able ro read an advance e-copy and the waiting was cut short! And I’m so glad it… Continue reading The Spice King by Elizabeth Camden
Ben ik heel erg als ik zeg dat dit eigenlijk gewoon een gevalletje mooie cover is? Ik zag hem, en ik wilde hem. Toen zag ik dat er een signeersessie was bij boekhandel Veenendaal en toen wilde ik er meteen heen - maar de boekhandel in Veenendaal zat dicht. Het was boekhandel Veenendaal in Amersfoort.… Continue reading De Zwendelprins van Rima Orie
I'm in love with the Dutch cover In “In Mijn Hoofd” volgen we de 11-jarige Melody, een meisje met de diagnose cerebrale parese (CP), waardoor ze niet kan praten en moeite met motoriek heeft waardoor communiceren eigenlijk onmogelijk wordt gemaakt. Hierdoor weten haar ouders en de rest van de wereld niet hoe ontzettend slim ze… Continue reading Out of My Mind (In mijn hoofd) by Sharon M. Draper
This book is just as previous as the MC Sam. I’ve been crying throughout this book and I don’t know why (I’ve been informed many others cried to so I’m not the only one but feelings are confusing lol). Also what I absolutely loved was the awesome autism representation! I have a feeling we actually… Continue reading The Boy Who Steals Houses by CG Drews
“The bond of family spans miles, memory and time.” Romanov was my most anticipated book of 2019. I love Nadine’s writing, the A Time to Die series changed my life (or at least my perspective on life), and then Fakwes, which made me doubt alongside Thomas in what was right and wrong and how to… Continue reading Romanov by Nadine Brandes
