Harry Potter (terug) in Nederland

Sinds het eerste boek is uitgekomen in 1997 en de eerste film in 2001 (ja écht, zo lang geleden is dat al) is de Harry Potter community nooit volledig verdwenen. De boeken en films blijven ontzettend populair. Je kunt tegenwoordig alles kopen van posters tot funko’s, van boeken tot echte toverstokken van Harry Potter. Met de release van...

Author Laura L. Smith on combining travelling with writing

We keep continuing with February Fiction month! I love seeing two passions coming together, especially when they happen to be my personal passions too. Author Laura L.

I bought all three books four years ago when I was in London with a friend. I ended up reading them back to back during my summer holidays. I LOVED them. While I...

You can imagine that I was more than a little excited when I found out that Forest of Whispers was getting a sequel: Castle of Sighs. For the...

Literary inspiration

I love inspiring quotes. Some quotes you read just give you that “this is absolutely right” moment. The below quote by J.K. Rowling is such a quote to me. Since this whole blog is based on travelling, also in fictional worlds, I had to share it here. Do you agree with the quote? Is this what reading feels...

Fiction meets reality

Travelling is a great thing. You explore new countries, cities, cultures, food, you name it. But to me travelling in the real world is not the only way of travelling I love. Travelling through books, especially fantasy, is a great way to explore as well.
