My 2021 Writing in Review
It’s the first week of 2022, so I want to look back at last year before looking forward. Reviewing your goals is a good habit although you have to give yourself grace when you haven’t achieved them all. You worked towards them, made progress, or did something entirely different.

Best Reads of 2021
Here are my best reads of 2021. As always, this list has all the books I read this year and my favourites are picked from these. It doesn’t matter when a book is published, as long as I read it this year, it has a shot at being the best of 2021. I just finished Read More
BBNYA Winners
December is an exciting time, especially when you’re a panellist or finalist of the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award.

Book Tour Spotlight: The Girl of Dorcha Wood by Kristin Ward
Thanks to The Write Reads and Kristin Ward for having me on the tour! I’ve received a free copy in exchange for an honest review and I will get to it but the holidays are crazy (we celebrate Sinterklaas during the first weekend of December) so I didn’t have time to finish reading it. I Read More
What Happened To My Old NaNo Projects?
I’ve taken part in several editions of NaNoWriMo (either the OG event or one of the camps that happen in April or July) over the years and still unfinished projects I started during those events. Even though I won a few of those, I’ve always been a NaNo rebel and maybe only once managed to Read More
