What I’ve Read: July 2018

I haven't read a lot of books in June. I wanted to read seven books, but I only managed five. Here's what I've read, why I only got to five and what I want to read next. If you want to read this post, please do so at my new blog.

Bye-bye WordPress

I haven't read a lot of books this month and there are a few reasons for that. One of the reasons is that I've been working on a new version of my blog. Layout-wise? Yes. Content-wise? Also yes. Platform-wise? Big yes. Why the big change? Because I've had two blogs for quite some time now....

Review: S.J. Delos – So Not a Hero

I'm in my superhero-period. So time for another book in the theme! I could have gone for another one in the Supervillainy Saga, the series I'm currently reading, but I decided to go with another book. This time, I went with So Not a Hero. Wow. There are many treasures in this book. Well written emotional...

Review: Matthew Syed – Black Box Thinking

I can enjoy a good non-fiction book. After reading great works like Leadership and Self-Deception and Innovation Games, I always try to keep my eyes open for other great self-improvement publications. I found one in Black Box Thinking: Why Some People Never Learn from Their Mistakes - But Some Do. As the author explains, Black Box Thinking is not...

An A-Z Survey About Books

Earlier this week, I found a blog post about a bookish A-Z survey written by Brittany. If haven't found out her blog yet, go check it out. It's great. She does a lot of book reviews, as well as other book-related stuff. I haven't regretted one minute spending over there so be sure to take a...

Review: C.T. Phipps – The Secrets of Supervillainy

Time for another superhero book! Or should I say... supervillain book! Last month I started reading a series called 'The Supervillain Saga'. Another adventure for Merciless, the supervillain without mercy! There's a lot more time between this third book of the series and its predecessor. Which is okay. Some things happen off-screen - if you...

Review: Dale Carnegie – How to Win Friends and Influence People

As much as I like fiction books, I also want to improve myself. Hence, non-fiction books to the rescue! This time, it was How to Win Friends and Influence People that got my attention. Mostly because the title made me frown. But the ratings were so high. I wanted to know why. Here's my opinion. This...

Review: Dean Koontz – The Crooked Staircase

I've become a fan of the Jane Hawk series ever since I've read book one: The Silent Corner. After reading the second part, finding out that the third part has been published a few months ago and the fourth part is already expected near the end of the year, I had to keep up. Hence, I...

What I’ve Read: June 2018

I don't know what happened. I did nothing special in May and was only able to read three books. Now I had June, in which I did nothing special again, and I read ten books. Say what? Maybe it's because of the books... let's go over those! The Whispering Room I revisited the Jane Hawk...

Review: Cathy Yardley – Write Every Day

As a wannabe writer, I read a lot of books about the craft. Some give me great tips that I can use immediately. Others give me inspiration and hints for what I should do when I have more time. One of the problems my writer self has, is writing. Performing. So I figured I could...
