I love books and always wish I read more. I read all types of books and writers, I like to mix things up and be surprised. Sometimes I read something that's comforting and easy, sometimes a historical intrige. Here’s a list to motivate myself more th...

This is what I’m currently reading 📚

Already loving this a lot, a mystical mysterious book that takes you into this new world within the first words

A River Enchanted: Scottish Romantasy Book 1

Books I’ve read lately

I try to mix things up between fantasy, historical, bestsellers and occasionally a self improvement book

Such a well written protagonist and story. I was on the edge of my seat, wanting to know how the story ended but at the same not wanting to finish the story.

A Little Trickerie: Women’s Prize Longlist 2025

I was looking for some mythology that was not Greek, and this one combines my love for India with a mystical story. It’s very enticing and the description of everything so lively I felt like I was watching a film. I will read more of this writer!

The Palace of Illusions: A Novel

I lpove readying about Greek mythology, and what Madeline Miller does so well is giving these people a real face. Of course she's staying true to the actual story, but adding a layer of fiction is super entertaining.

The Song of Achilles

A story of love, curiousity, self discovery. I loved reading this book, moving from the book within the book, to the story of the woman reading it and how she mingled it with her real life.

The Forty Rules of Love: Magical Tale

Beautiful, very different, interesting. I love this novel and the ending was intense but fitting. Will read this one again some day.

The Hungry Tide: Thrilling Historical Adventure

I hadn't read the Hunger Games for a long time, but wanted to red the prequals. I started with the Balad of Songbirds and Snakes. It's very interesting how Suzanne Collings made this Utopia world so lively.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

It’s a book much discussed early 2026 and I just started reading it. It seems to be about overcoming addiction, the first two chapters are already engaging!

Martyr! (National Book Award Finalist): A novel

Sometimes it's time to read a classic. I knew the story, watched the 80s cartoon series of course, but never actually read the book. Now I did, it's fun to read! (Alice in Wonderland next)

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Mysterious, beautiful, if you enjoy nature you'll love to read this book. And some mystery as well! I read this book a while back, but sometimes think about it still.

Where the Crawdads Sing

This is one unforgetable story. A very scary and true story, that gives a good insight of the Resistance during the second world war. Detailed and well researched, this book is highly rated for a reason.

The Sisters of Auschwitz: True Story of Resistance

A beautiful book full of ‘What ifs’, interesting life twists and turns about decisions, ownership of your life and overall regrets. I want to read the other book by Matt Haig as well!

The Midnight Library

My favorite books

These books I would 100% recommend and if you start talking to me about this, I may never shut up.

If you haven't read these yet, what are you waiting for? In one breath I read these four books, and I got quite some friends to do the same. BEautifully written, a full history of lifes. (the HBO series are great too!)

The Neapolitan Novels Boxed Set

I love this book. Hiking, Self Development, a woman that likes to read. What's not to love? I love Cheryl Strayed I love the film too, I ove Reese. Everything. If you ahven't read it, do it.

Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found

My Kindle

I love my e-reader. Sorry about the real paper pages & lovely bookstores (I still love those). But my not too heavy bag, endless available options all at once and my eyesight are thanking me.

Just the normal black and white Kindle for me, please. Since I travel a lot, it only made sense for me to switch. Now, getting older with my eye sight getting suffering and refusing to buy glasses, this is the way. I can make the font bigger, change ...

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

So I have a scratch on my screen because I went without case the first week. It is what it is, but next time I'll just take the case straight away, thank you very much.

My favorite book clubs

The Silent Book club is a global movement. The concept is simple: come over, bring your book (any!) and read. Before and after you can chat with the other people, and mostly that's about books. It's my great slow down evening here in Valencia.

Silent Book Club

I lvoe that Reese has a book club, and read a couple of her recommended books. If you follow the book club on socials, you will get a lot of inspiration what to read next.

Reese's Book Club

Bit more cool girl and indy I would say, also one to follow and try out some of the recco's. Sign up for the newsletter and stay up to date!

Keeping Track

I like to keep track of the books I've read, but I've been super flakey. Somewhere in a journal, nowadays in Goodreads. How do you like to do it? I mostly use the app to store books I want to read or at least investigate. I go to a Reading Club and g...

I have been a bit flakey keeping track and obviously I’ve read a lot more books in my life, but it’s a good app to keep track of the want to reads (although that list gets long too)

My Goodreads profile

If you like to keep track in a written journal, treat yourself to a very nice looking, good quality one.
