booksandquills | 🚀 Space Readathon! & My Reading Picks 💫 @booksandquills | Uploaded September 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Let's talk about space, baby! 🌙 The #SpaceReadathon starts Friday September 15th and ends on the 21st. Grab your space themed books and join in!
Thanks to Walker Books UK for sponsoring this video for The Loneliest Girls in the Universe. I got to go to the (very glitter-themed) book launch for the book and it's so lovely to see a book come to life. Lauren is an absolute gem and I hope you love The Loneliest Girl as much as I do.

Can you review my book?
I’m always happy to hear about upcoming books, but I’m afraid I don’t review self-published books and prefer to be contacted by a publisher rather than the author. I can only accept a small number of books for review, since I have a lot of books lined up already. I enjoy reading classics, dystopian/apocalyptic novels, sci-fi, translated fiction and a variety of graphic novels, YA and contemporary literary fiction. You can contact me at booksandquills@gmail.com
Where is your accent from?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands, studied English Lit at Leiden University (also in the Netherlands), studied in the US for 3 months and have lots of American friends. I'm definitely not Irish or Canadian, I promise!
Where do you live?
I live in London and have been here for 4 years now.
How did you get into publishing?
I did publishing work experience 3 times, did a lot of networking and learned everything I know about social media from creating and running this channel for 8 years. (P.s. You don't necessarily have to study Publishing or English to get a job in publishing!).
What do you use to film?
I have a Canon 60D with a Tokina 11-16 lens. I edit my videos in Final Cut X.
