October Wrap up - Book Haul & What to Expect Next Month

Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read this post.

Can't believe it's almost November already. I have been blogging for almost a year now!

I'll definitely host an awesome January 1-year anniversary giveaway. I can't wait to organize it, seems so much fun.

Anyway, in this post I'll give you this month's ratings, my haul and what to expect next month.

Let's do it. ❣

I moved!

Hi there!

First of all; thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read this.

So... I've promised you a couple of times now, to write a post about my new house.

I haven't been reading that much, sorry again to all the authors that are waiting for reviews. I'm doing my best! Long story short; I haven't been reading that much, because I moved 3 weeks ago! The move actually went pretty fast, I slept there after 2 days and moved in after 5. I still have some small things to do, but it's mainly finished now!

I lived in Dronten, a small town in The Netherlands that's only 60 years old. It's actually build on a piece of land that's reclaimed from the sea. Sounds exciting, but it was kinda boring for me, because the nature is man-made and the streets are usually build up with houses that look all the same.

So I moved to Kampen, to one of the oldest towns/cities in the Netherlands! I bought a house that's a 107 years old, but completely renovated...
