Dutch Fantasy Reader (Eng reader)

Reviews, recs & honest thoughts from my Mini Library

A slow reader, currently reading too much and reviewing all of it. My TBR is the size of a house. Loves reading ARCs to help out small authors and getting into new genres and stories.

So nice to meet you!

You've probably guessed it already. My name is Cheryl.

My first real English book was Shadow Forest by Matt Haig - I have no idea what made fourteen-year-old me pick it up in a language that wasn't mine, but it stuck. Harry Potter was my first full series, and that's probably where it started: I've been a sucker for a good series ever since, the kind with seven books and a map in the front, the kind you can lose entire weeks to.

Fantasy carried me for years, until Kate Mosse's Labyrinth trilogy — Labyrinth, Sepulchre, Citadel - found me around turning twenty and pulled me sideways into romantasy. I even went to Carcassonne (France) where the story of this series takes place.

My TBR pile never really recovered, and neither did my search history. Cheryl's Mini Library is where I keep track of it all now: every book rated on vibe, pace and spice, for anyone else reading fantasy in English from this side of the Channel.
