Like the title says: I’m back in business!! 😀 Ok, technically I got back last week, but things are still quite busy so today is the first time I’ve been able to properly sit down and blog again. And I’m definitely glad to be back home!
Lots of things happened since my last post… I was in the Netherlands for about three weeks, with lots and lots of spare time to read outside when I wasn’t doing paperwork. Everything went a lot faster than expected so yay! I also made use of my free time to get myself some new books; 7 of them in Dutch (so I can practise since nobody I tried to talk to believed I was actually Dutch haha). Also, I got a new tattoo! I’ve been wanting to for a while now, and I’m happy with how it turned out. 🙂
I didn’t travel back home straight away though. Together with my hubby we decided to go on a mini vacation to the Iguazu Falls instead and the national park was just as breathtaking as the first time around. Also, my tattoo butterfly got to meet her inspiration!
I will be putting together a few posts together soon, including book haul, arc haul, books I’ve read while I was away and pending book reviews. Hopefully things will be back to normal by next weekend!
I hope everyone is doing great; I’ve missed you all! ❤
Amazing how quickly you can start to sound like you’re from somewhere else! Sounds like a great trip all around – glad you’re back!

Very true! Even after ‘only’ a year my Dutch already sounded weird, let alone after six… 😉 And thanks!

Thanks! The paperwork was easier than expected, although I’m still waiting for the last Argentine certificate before I can hand in the final application… Visiting the falls was great though. 🙂

Welcome back! Here’s to more reading, blogging and sharing! 😛 So jealous that you were able to read so many books in such a short time; especially in Dutch!!

Thanks! And I didn’t actually read them in Dutch (except for a short one during the flight back). 😉 Finishing the same amount of books in Dutch will probably take me at least six months haha.

Welcome back! Love the tattoo also. Great book haul, I’ve seen Carry Slee everywhere lately. Simone Van der Vlught is of course also a well known author here but I haven’t read anything of her yet. Look forward to your reviews and lots more posts!

Thanks! I’m not really ‘up to date’ when it comes to Dutch books and authors haha, but I have read books by both authors in the past… I especially enjoyed Carry Slee’s YA books when I was younger.

I recognised two or three titles. Are you going to write your reviews in Dutch?

I’ll definitely stick with English if I end up reviewing the Dutch titles in the first place. Having to read in Dutch is hard enough as it is…

Thanks! ❤ It took me a while to scrape together the courage for my first tattoo as well, but no regrets whatsoever afterwards. It does help that my pain limit seems to be pretty high. 😉
