It’s almost one year ago since I published my first book, Tales of Lunis Aquaria, and a lot has changed. I wanted to do something as a celebration and offering the book for free seemed like a nice thing to do given the current situation. I’ve set it for free on Kobo and Smashwords, and

Review: Sanctuary by V.V. James
When I heard Victoria James was going to write a book about witches, I knew I had to have it. I love witchy book and I’ve fallen in love with her writing. Definitely a good match. But once I started reading, I felt incredibly uncomfortable. Sanctuary is very much a book about women. The story
Support Your Favourite Writer!
Last week, I gave a shout out to artists. This week I want to highlight some authors who have new books coming out soon but had their launch-related events cancelled. This will be a weird mix of genres and authors but do consider pre-ordering or buying a book later to support them. Check your local
Support Your Favourite Artist
I had a hard time coming up with a topic for this week. I spent a whole weekend at the Efteling and I’m still recovering. It got me thinking about my own health and what’s happening all across the world. My health always comes first, no doubt about that. I don’t know if I’m in

19 Asian Sci-Fi/Fantasy Books released in 2020
With the amount of new books beings released every week, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Honestly, I can’t even keep track of every book coming out, especially if you also consider all the new indie releases. That’s why I made a list of nineteen science-fiction/fantasy books from Asian authors that caught my eye. All of
Book tour: Kingshold by D.P. Wolliscroft
This review is part of the blog tour hosted by The Write Reads. Thank you to Dave and Dave for the opportunity to read this book! More book tours? Yes, and even more after this. Even though I said when I began blogging I wouldn’t do book tours, it seems the majority of my review
Where to find fountain pens and ink in the Netherlands?
Last year, I posted about fountain pen stores in Tokyo and it’s still one of my most popular posts. So I want to do more of these and it makes sense to pick the Netherlands as my next destination. And because we’re such a small country, I want to mention all the shops I know
5 Series I Want To Finish
How good are you with finishing a series? My husband would say I’m the best. At least, when it concerns Netflix series. I can binge all day long if the series is captivating enough. I’m not that good when it comes to book series. I think the series I read as soon as the new
