Welcome Readers

Hello, world. I am starting my blog and writing my first post.

I never thought this day would come, even though I have always dreamed of it. Time was needed to find bravery and pursue a new path through this platform. Sharing things can be scary, exposing, and open you up to vulnerability.

I started an Instagram / Bookstagram account called @wonderandread just over a year ago and there I share the love I have for reading. I mostly communicate through the photos I take. There my reviews are kept short, but that is about to change. I have always loved to chat and share bookish thoughts with others, and I believe books have the power to change lives.

You might be wondering who is behind the camera, so let me introduce myself.

Hi, my name is Diana, and I’m living in the Netherlands. Before that, I lived in England for over 13 years. You might be asking what I was doing before that. I moved from Hungary to London with the dream of a better future and my biggest goal was to learn the English language. I have had a lot of time to reflect on my early decisions and have plenty of stories to share from my time in London. I hope one day you will be able to read about them.

For now here is what can you expect from me:

• More in-depth insights and bookish thoughts.
• Reflections and recommendations.
• Inspiration and reading motivation.
• I also would love to share reviews on places I have visited and think you might enjoy.
• But most of all I hope I can help you find your new favorite book.

Time is precious, and I appreciate the time you have given me by reading this.

I am excited to share more with you very soon.
