What's on my bookshelves part 4

Hy guys!

Last October I did a quick update on the first 3 shelves of my bookshelves. At the end of that post I promised to give you guys a peek at my fourth shelf. I'm not going to do both of my fourth shelves on either side of my bookshelf, the second one is for another time.

Fourth shelf, left side

1) Jo and Co

Like 'Suzy and Spike' I have a little collection of 'Jo and Co' on my bookshelves. No my all time favorite comic books like S&S but I do like the contemporaryity of the stories. That's something S&S doesn't really have (yet).


2) Twilight* Series (*Say it like Jack Whitehall XD) and the short life of Bree Tanner

In part 3 I told you guys that Twilight moved to my fourth shelf. I still like the story and I have to read it again sometime but not any time soon.




3) Warrior Cats

Just like Twilight, this series moved to the 4th shelf. Not because I don't like it but simply because there wasn't any space left on my 3rd shelf XD. But it's still a great series for cat lovers :) half of the series I own ( 1st and 2nd series) is on this bookshelf, the other half is somewhere in our house.



4) 'En Toen kwam jij - waarom je niet één maar twee papa's hebt' by Tom De Cock

No translated into english (yet) but on of my favorite, most eye-opening books I've read last year. I really hope it gets translated into English because some people really need to read it.



5) Een Groene bloom trilogie - Floortje Zwigtman

If you haven't heard of it, here's my blogpost about the bookseries  but I already talk a lot about this series. And I really like it. Shame I bought it in a big version because it's a very heavy book and the pages are just so fragile.

My reads of 2017!

Hy guys!

You've probably seen that my blog has changed a bit in lay-out in the past week :). If not, I have a good address for an Optician.
So look left :D


So, from now on I'm gonna share the book I'm currently reading with you guys. If you like it or not, that's up to you! 
If you want me to write a review on a book I've read or wanna know if it's a good book in general without the spoilers, just ask! :) 

I will be reading (mostly) the Dutch version of a book so don't judge me if you read something you don't understand because the character or something else has a different name in Dutch.

To the people who emailed me: I'm reading your books! Just give me some time. I'm getting there!

If you have an idea about a bookblog or if you want to write one yourself but you don't have the blog to do so, send me a message! :)

okay!
bye!

These are a few....

...of my favorite books =)


"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things."

Almost everyone knows this song. Julie Andrews - Sound of Music. God I love that film!

Hy guys!!!

I know I know, I'm late, sorry about that! I'm in the middle of exams zou it was a bit difficult to find the time to write a blogpost about books...
But it's the weekend now so I have a few free moments to write a few things :)

Today I'm going to give you a list of my favorite books of the moment!
You already can read a few reviews on the page "books"but here is my top 5 of this moment!

I'm only going to give books that are part of a series so you guys can read a lot :p (I'll do a top 5 of single books in a while.)

5) Warrior Cats: Rising Storm - Erin Hunter. It's the 4th book of the first series and I just love it. A must-read for cat lovers!

4) The Ranger's Apprentice : The Ruins of Gorlan - John Flanagan . The first book of the series of (now) 13 books. I love when an author makes up a whole new world with new jobs and stuff like that. It's just amazing. And it's even more amazing to let your own imagination fill in the blanks :p

3) Percy Jackson & The Olympians The Battle of the Labyrinth - Rick Riordan. Again, not the first one or the last but in this case, the one with the most epic adventure of them all! :D Just read the books and you'll understand what I'm talking about

2) Brisingr - C. Paolini. No, not the first one but the third book of the series! I'm a big fan of Eragon & Saphira but book 3 is just the best one of the whole series. It's not the beginning, it's not the end, it's a book in the middle so that means the story doesn't end at the end of the book :)

1) Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - JK Rowling, the book where all the magic came into our lives!

So yeah I'm a big fan of book series as you probably can tell from my top 5 :p

Have fun reading them!
bye!
