Such a lovely Sunday it is and I am spending it with this little snuggle buddy 🐾. . . Right now I find myself wanting to reread books. I've always been a big rereader, much to my mom's confusion, though my dad gets it 😜. . . I finished rereading ACOTAR and ACOWAR. I want to reread the SHADES OF MAGIC series by VE SCHWAB before A CONJURING OF LIGHT comes out next month 🎉. I've also been thinking about rereading THE LUNAR CHRONICLES. Gah... so many books on my TBR list!!! . . So what's your take on rereading books? Pro or Con?

A Hobbit meal is a happy meal. And there isn’t anything more hobbit than mushrooms. 🍄 I’ll be posting the culinary journey through Middle Earth soon, so stay tuned ✨. (at Del Mar, California)

Hey! I'm from the Netherlands and I want to read an English book this summer. I often read (a little bit of a high level) Dutch literature, but I read translated English literature, like Stoner (from John Williams) as well. What books would you recommend me to read?

What are some of your favorite genres and authors?

From your blog it seems as if you finish quite a lot of books in little time. How many books do you read on average? Do you read several books at once? Did you train to read very fast? How do you do it? Cause I sure could do with some tips ^^"

I tend to read a few books at once, unless I become so engrossed that I can’t jump to another story.  I also find that audio books are nice for long drives.  I commute 2 hours for work so that really helps in traffic.  I also am a very fast reader.  This is just practice.  The more you reader the faster you can.  It also helped that in University I majored in history so it was a lot of reading each night.  So I had to read fast.
