No one with half a brain would rob the jungle’s most notorious energy cartel. The vibrations of their power-producing stones …
The ocean is uncontrollable and dangerous. But to the sirens who swim the warm island waters, it’s a home more …
It's not often someone gets the drop on Alwyn Jove, Imperial Warden and powerful magic-wielder—but …
I liked reading Warden. It is quite gentle and lightly written and there is humour! Delyth also uses a lot of nice words in this novella.
There were some words that I have never read before and actually I really love that. There were so much delightful words! I mean, I do not often come across a work where the word 'gaol' is used, so I love it when I see it being used. It might seem old-fashioned, but that is what I like about it.
I really liked the writing style of this novella!

This is a very useful book. It sheds some light on several LGBTQIA+ topics and especially in combination with Autism. There are chapters about sexuality, gender, coming out, relationships, LGBTQIA+ spaces, and more.
A downside of this book is that it is mostly focusing on the United Kingdom. A lot of resources are given, though a lot of them are for the UK. More international resources would have been more helpful, I think.
Also, some texts are repeated several times. Good if you want to not read everything. Not really nice if you want to read everything in one reading.
The first story, A Christmas Carol, is very good.
Then comes The Chimes, which I did not really like and it was harder to understand than A Christmas Carol too. The last story, The Cricket On The Hearth, was a good one again.
In eerste instantie is het even een kwestie van wennen aan het taalgebruik van Louis Couperus, maar zodra het verhaal mij wist te pakken had ik er geen moeite meer mee. Couperus gebruikt veel beeldspraken, vergelijkingen en dergelijke, wat maakt dat het verhaal erg levendig is.
Ik vraag mij wel af hoe het boek in zijn tijd werd ontvangen, aangezien er, mijns inziens, een homohuwelijk plaatsvindt en volgens mij was dat in de tijd van Couperus nog niet echt geaccepteerd. Maar misschien kon het omdat het een historische roman is.
Ik vond dit boek niet echt geweldig. De verhalen spraken mij niet zo aan en ik vond het toch wel overwegend saai.
Het laatste stuk, Mene Tekel, was wel aardig, maar dat is nu net het stuk dat voor school niet mag, omdat het te recent is...
Nog altijd de grootste mijlpaal in de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse letterkunde is het jaar …
Dit is een erg leuk boek dat zeer goed te lezen is. Het is een allegorisch sprookje waarin eigenlijk de ontwikkeling van kind tot volwassene een beetje wordt weergegeven.
Één verdwaarlde Draak, twee behulpzame Elfen en een onbekende wereld vol gevaar.
Bijna niemand …
Dit boek was erg leuk om te lezen.
Een prima boek voor mensen die houden van draken.
Het einde van het verhaal was echter wel een minpuntje. Het einde leek ietwat droevig te zijn, maar uiteindelijk was dat niet echt zo. Dit vond ik jammer. Er had mooi een tweede boek kunnen komen over de redding van de andere draken of iets dergelijks, maar helaas is deze mogelijkheid in een enkele pagina tenietgedaan...
Na een storm in het jaar 1196 halen kustvissers een kleuter uit de branding. Die …
In the beginning this book really got my attention by referring to old Dutch literature, which is something I like.
The actual story was less interesting though.
The end was good though! Not what most 'literature' has here.
Carry On meets Arthurian legend in this funny, subversive young adult fantasy about what happens …
There is quite some humour and sarcasm in this book, I love it.
I finished reading it within two days, for I couldn't stop myself.
I do not think that I have read anything like this before.
If you love Young Adult fantasy books and you want to read something adorable, you should probably check this book out.
Watership Down is an adventure novel by English author Richard Adams, published by Rex Collings …
This was a fun and nice book to read.
It is cool to see a lot of human things described from 'rabbit perspective' with only some of them knowing what to do with something.
I loved the parts where one of the rabbits came up with something smart, without a way to make the other rabbits understand how it worked. Like the boat.
