p.s. I used to have my Storygraph link down here, but I recently decided to make my account private, and am keeping friend requests for people I know IRL, so if you can't find me anymore, that's why!

► About Me
Hoi! I'm Sanne. Ten years ago, after finishing my English Language and Culture MA, I moved from the Netherlands to London where I'm currently working as a Social Media freelancer and Event Host in Publishing. I've documented my journey in publishing, my life in London and of course my favourite book recommendations (which include anything Gothic, classic and historical with a dash of sci-fi). Besides reading, I now spend a lot of my time discovering literary locations around the UK, sketching outdoors and trying out new crafts. If you're looking for creative and literary inspiration, you're in the right place!

► My Book Club Journal
bit.ly/BookClubJournal (ad, affiliate link)
I created this beautiful journal for anyone who is in a book club or wants to track their reading. Featuring: thick paper (great for fountain pens!) and bookmark ribbon, 50 book journal templates to fill in, 200 book recommendations in 20 themed reading lists and chapters with tips and advice for starting your book club.
