Hello!

Yes, you might think "oh, just another book blog" but... Yeah, that's probably what it is.

This isn't something you should take serious. Of course, I'll post my opinions about books I'm reading at the moment, books I've read etc., but if you know me, you might know that this blog will contain a lot of Schoethe shit posts as well.

I secretly hope that this blog will get me to read more this year, and I'll try to be somewhat active on it!

As a bonus, take this "aesthetic" picture of my mom's reclam books "Götz von Berlichingen" and "Maria Stuart"
