January = digital clearout time! So let's create some categories, and fix some covers on Storygraph! ⬇ Read me ⬇

► 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.

► Frequently asked questions
◦ Where is your accent from?
I was born and raised in the Netherlands, studied English Language and Culture at Leiden University where I originally was taught a British (RP) accent, then studied in the US for 3 months and still have lots of American friends. Now that I live in London, I still mostly have my American accent, but with lots of British vocab mixed in.
◦ Where do you live?
I currently live in St Albans, just North of London.
◦ Where do you work?
I’m a Freelance Social Media Producer, Consultant, public speaker and Content Creator. Before that I worked in social Media at Penguin Random House UK.

I’m a StoryGraph Librarian! Happy to help add book data if you want to send links, or you can create tickets for any of the ones missing pub info.

The tags are private by default! Though you can choose to make them public, which I've done for my wishlist, so I can share it with others easily :)

Ha, okay perfect! And smart move on the wishlist 👀

I love your “low buy” plan! I’m trying to do this as well - saving for my wedding. How will you handle gifted books?

@booksandquills 6 ай бұрын

Good question! It doesn't apply to gifted books from publishers (or friends), but I'll accept those in moderation as usual (I've accepted less and less every year as I get better at knowing what I'll like). Good luck with your saving goal!

You can also filter in your tbr list on things like genre!

There's definitely a few functions I'm not used to using yet, but that will definitely come in handy next time, thanks! :D

@pettyella6607 6 ай бұрын

You can click "marked as owned" and it creates a new separate library!

I only thought about that as I was editing this video unfortunately 😅 Ah well, one for the next time!

I really badly need to update my StoryGraph. My Goodreads is much more organised and it’s why I still lean towards it. I need to dedicate the time into sorting out my StoryGraph!

The End of the World podcast sounds right up my street. Can't wait for that! I recently started using the 'Reading Challenge' feature of Storygraph to track all sorts of things such as my hauled books and where I got them ( e.g. charity shop, indie bookshop, bootfair etc), my bookclub books, and to track upcoming book to movie adaptations. Also using it to create monthly TBRs. It's a game changer! Reading Challenges can also be set as private

@booksandquills 6 ай бұрын

That's so cool! Could you explain a bit more how you use it? Do you use the prompts for the challenges and then tick them off as you go?

@Peakah8 6 ай бұрын

@@booksandquills I think this will be explained better with Screenshots so I've sent you a message request on Insta 😊

I read "Nothing but blackened teeth" and it was kind of revolting, and unfortunately not in the best way, I got really nauseous over it to be honest. The writing was also exceedingly floral and pretentious, and not in a "oh this is beautifully written kind of way", but in a really exasperating kind of way, as if the writer was making sure to use the thesaurus as much as possible unnecessarily just to prove how smart they were, to the point it felt so long even though it's a tiny book. Yeah, you can probably tell it was on my top 2 worst books of 2023 lol.
