About meI am a 22 year old girl from Belgium and I love reading. When I was young, I read comics, encyclopedia, books, etc. and have developed a healthy addiction for anything printed on paper :)

My favorite genres when I was younger were mostly horror and fantasy. I still love these genres the most but I also like to open up my mind and read something completely different which has expanded my reading list considerably.

I'm currently studying English linguistics and I have classes in English grammar, philosophy, linguistics, genres, romanticism, modernism, postmodernism etc.

My favorite occupations are going to the library and second-hand book stores or book sales.

The way I rate my books;

= I didn't like it
= It was OK
= I liked it
= I really liked it
= I absolutely loved it

About my libraryI already have a list in Excel of my own where I keep track of the books that I have read and still want to read, and whether I have them myself or whether I have to borrow/have borrowed them from the library. I will therefore not include all my books in my library but I'll include my absolute favorites or the ones that I'd really, really like to read but mind that my real list is a lot longer than this one (I have, for example read a lot more novels by Stephen King but these are just my absolute favorites). This is just to give you an idea of my favorite genres / authors but I mainly joined the site for the book conversations, recommendations, reviews and challenges.

The books that I've listed under "Your Library" are the books that I have at home both read and TBR. "Read but unowned" are usually books borrowed from the library". The other categories speak for themselves.
