- Ik heb op mijn werk gezegd dat ik graag nog een jaar wil blijven en toen reageerden ze allemaal heel blij en opgelucht en mijn imposter syndrome is nu naarstig op zoek naar het addertje onder het gras.

- Sounds fake, but okay.
- Oh no, rip Morris, I loved you in Alligator.
- 💔 #BookSky
- Mijn horloge gaf me net een complimentje omdat ik zo actief ben. Ik was mijn tanden aan het poetsen.
- Until Dawn is a great popcorn flick, lots of people just hate fun. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
- Ik ben op Instagram (@somekindofmiriam) een fotoserie aan het maken over leven met MS en ik overweeg om er een boek van te maken met poëzie/korte verhalen bij de foto's en ik heb nu al zin in de mensen die gaan zeiken dat ik DANKBAAR moet zijn dat ik er niet morgen aan doodga. #ms #multiplesclerose
- Ik klaag af en toe op social media over mijn medicatie: 2 keer per dag, met eten, 10 uur ertussen. Soms nog steeds bijwerkingen. Medicatie die me niet beter maakt, maar die ervoor zorgt dat het HOPELIJK MISSCHIEN niet erger wordt. Blij dat het er is maar ik hoef er niet 24/7 dankbaar voor te zijn.

View full thread💙📚 Belgian rec today! Maak je geen zorgen over ons van Koen Aelterman: twintiger Kobe besluit zijn Belgische leven voor een jaar achter zich te laten en naar Australië te trekken. Hij heeft nood aan een andere omgeving, nieuwe mensen en ruimte om zijn gebroken hart te verwerken. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 I think I'm out of recs, so instead of every day, I'll be updating whenever I've read a new one. Want Her Bad by Victoria Hartwood is lesbian erotica. It's fine, nothing special, but it gets the job done. #queerbooks
- If you see this, post the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll.
- 💙📚 Today I finished A Botanical Daughter by Noah Medlock. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but it was very light on the horror, so I was a little disappointed by that. Is this what people call cosy horror? #queerbooks
- 💙📚 Reviews will tell you Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval is the most disgusting book ever. It is not. It's barely even horror, but it is interesting and a very quick and enjoyable read. Trigger warning for pee, I guess? #queerbooks
- 💙📚 Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust is a sapphic retelling of Snow White and I really enjoyed it. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 This is how you lose the time war by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone is the sapphic love story of the ages. If you haven't read it yet, go change that right now. #queerbooks
- If you're wondering how I'm doing: I'm smoking cigarettes, drinking red wine an rewatching Bodies Bodies Bodies for the fifth time, so, not great. #FilmSky #MentalHealth

- Thank you!
- 💙📚 The novella Nick and Charlie takes place right after Heartstopper when Nick is about to leave for university. They question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever… #queerbooks
- 💙📚 Dutch rec incoming! Schillen van Thorn de Vries is een prachtige collectie gedichten en gedachten over identiteit en non-binair zijn. Ik luisterde naar het audioboek, ingesproken door de auteur zelf. Aanrader! #queerbooks
- I cried a lot this week. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday
- 💙📚 April 2025 reading wrap-up! I had a lot of free time in april. #booksky
- 💙📚 How to Make a Wish by Ashley Herring Blake is an emotionally charged portrait of a mother and daughter’s relationship and a heartfelt story about two girls who find each other at the exact right time. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 I recently read In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado and even though it's a hard read, it's very, very good. It's a memoir about an abusive relationship, so if that triggers you, you might want to skip it. #queerbooks

- That's too bad! I'm reading A Botanical Daughter at the moment, it's really good (but also quite slow).
- [Not loaded yet]
- Ah okay, I read Other Words for Smoke by this author which was also slow and had a very specific writing style, but I really enjoyed it, so I might not cancel my order, haha.
- Oh no, I just ordered it yesterday! What didn't you like about it?
- Tien uur durende blackout overleefd. Ik bleef thuis en las een boek, weten we ook meteen hoe ik zal reageren tijdens een echte apocalyps.

- Zeg dat wel!
- 💙📚 En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule (The End of Eddy) by Edouard Louis is an autobiographical novel about growing up gay in a working-class town in Picardy. Very good, very heavy. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 A little late because of the blackout (I've already recommended the book Blackout, what a missed opportunity), but here we go: The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe is a slick, twisty YA page-turner about the daughter of a con artist who is taken hostage in a bank heist. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 The List of Things That Will Not Change by Rebecca Stead is a heartfelt, wholesome and excellent book about a child whose parents are divorced and now her dad is getting married again, to a man this time. #queetbooks
- 💙📚 Today is Lesbian Visibility Day, which is why I'm recommending More Than a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban. It's basically Bridgerton, but make it sapphic and it's incredibly cute. Loved it! #queerbooks
- Watching Salem's Lot two days after Sinners was a bad choice but I did it anyway. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched
- 💙📚 How it feels to float by Helena Fox is a beautiful, beautiful book about mental illness and grief. I feel this is a love it or hate it book, but I definitely loved it. Check the trigger warnings before you dive in. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 Belgian non-fiction rec incoming! Handicap van Anaïs van Ertvelde onderzoekt ‘handicap’ als een politieke conditie. Ze fileert wat de wereld ons over handicap vertelt en maakt duidelijk wat handicap ons over de wereld kan vertellen. Prachtig, leerzaam en (voor mij) herkenbaar boek. #queerbooks

- All the European ones and the Canadian one. Btw, Les Affamés is a French Canadian zombie movie that I really enjoyed.
- I can't believe I've only seen Little Monsters and 28 Days Later.
- Perfection! #fFilmSky
- 💙📚 Girl Made of Stars by Ashley Herring Blake is a hard read, but so, so beautiful. It's about SA, so check the trigger warnings, but you can trust this author to handle everything with gentle care. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 A French rec today! Romance by Arneaud Cathrine is a very raw and chaotic YA novel. Do not read if you are a pearl clutching 'think of the children' kind of person, this book is not cute (but it is good). Available in French and Dutch. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff is a lyrical and quintessential coming-of-age tale and I loved it. Read it on a hot summer day, preferably on a beach. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 I have a Swedish rec for you today! Som Eld by Sara Lövestam is about two girls who meet during their summer holidays and fall in love. This very cute book has been translated into Dutch, German, Norwegian, Danish and Polish, so take your pick. #queerbooks

- Nic Blake and the Remarkables by Angie Thomas (I believe there's two books, not sure if there will be more) for younger readers. The Legendborn trilogy by Tracy Deonn for YA readers (15+).
- 💙📚 Only read Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder if you're an experienced horror reader, because this book is all kinds of fucked up. I loved everything about it, five stars. #queerbooks
- 💙📚 Honeybloods by I. S. Belle is basically Jennifer's Body, but make it a novella. It's a quick and fun read, but the unoriginality of it all bothered me a little. #queerbooks

- De Queer Boekenkast in Alkmaar.
- 💙📚 She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick: a story in which two girls team up to help each other get the girls of their dreams, and end up falling in love in the process. Very cute! #queerbooks
- 💙📚 Another Dutch rec! Aan de andere kant van geluk van Nadine Swagerman is een verhaal over rouw, angst en verdriet, maar ook over vriendschap, groei en liefde. En er zit een onverwacht thriller-element in voor de liefhebbers van spannende boeken. #queerbooks
- Ik zit in een fancy strandtent en ze hebben fruit uit blik in mijn sangria gemikt (blij dat ik ook eens een first world problem heb om over te klagen).
- Also, ik ben stomdronken van een half glas, ga ik ooit nog thuiskomen en je mag hier blijkbaar nog roken op het terras, zal ik een sigaret bietsen bij de zakenman naast me (ik rook niet).
