I’m so hyped up right now. I can officially call myself Hairstylist I since Wednesday =] Woohoo, I’m so happy I graduated this course, next September I will start Hairstylist II [will be missing the first lesson as I’ll be in Orlando till the weekend after lol]. But I got an awesome graduation present from my mom!! ❤ ❤ thank you mom!! [and got myself some extra’s lol] But I’m in panic, I got 1 good bookcase and way too many books.. I will post a few photos of my current display in my only bookcase after the haul photos. It is a beautiful bookcase IMO, but I had to move over 20 books upstairs to fit 10 new ones, whoop!! And had to move to shelves in height hahaha… Bookissues!!
I already showed 2 new books in my Sunday Post #40. May 7, but now I got them all and want to share them all with you!!
So the one you already knew about is A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas. I got the Celebrate Books Sarah J. Maas special box UK edition [there was a dutch book box too] I took pictures of everything in it:
So this was the first happy thing, I got it on release dat, but since I was waiting for my new laptop I haven’t done much blogging lately [talking about over a month or so].
On to the next, I got the second book in May as well, but now I’ve got them both and the first book, THANK YOU AMAZON UK, literally made me do a happy dance
So let me explain the happy dance [the photos speak for themselves though lol]. I was overly excited to have gotten a first edition of Magnus Chase and the Hammer of Thor, which was published in OCtober 2016. That was already a nice surprise by Bol.com, but Amazon UK is the true winner hre. MAgnus Chase and the Sword of Summer was published in October 2015. I ordered it in July 2017, not only did I get a first edition, but it was FREAKING HAND SIGNED!!!! Now let’s swoon over these beauties in my photos ❤
But wait, we’re not even close to the end of my haul hehe =]
Last year I bought myself the hardcover of A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir. Amazon UK was less kind to me, I thought then, I got the Harper Voyage edition.. If you’re like me and want to collect these beauties and have a tinesy bit of OCD, you’ll want them in the same editions… What was my problem back then…. Well, An Ember in the Ashes printed in hardcover by Harper Voyage was a very limited edition and nowhere to be found [okay, if you wanted to pay over 400 for it [GBP, USD or EURO] you could get it]… but since I don’t have that kind of money to buy a single book… So I serched and searched and found it for 17 Euro at Amazon Germany, so I ordered 3 of them, just to be sure and make some friends happy…. Ordered on December 22, 2016… Would be delivired at the end of January 2017… Got an email saying they didn’t have it will be arriving between the end of March and the fifth of July -_-‘… Now July the 5th came and another email was in my inbox… please have patience or select on of these other edition… I was like waiting since December and did not want another edition… Luckily, I found thet the editions on Ebay weren’t over 400 whatever currency you want it in, but 17 Euro [okay, 21 with shipping] and I cancelled Amazon DE and ordered from Ebay.. Now my lovelies are pretty in my bookcase and I can finally re-read AEITA and start ATATN =] [I knew AEITA wasn’t new, but it’s really good considering it’s age and travels, but hey, I got the ‘zero’ edition!!!!!!]
I got another tiny buy in this haul. Still collecting the series, not even close to getting it complete. But at the end of the year, after my birthday and getting my tips from work [I’m getting them in one go at the end of the year] I want to order all missing books in hardcover signed from P.C Cast and Kristin Cast themselves. I’m talking about House of Night, The Escaped, House of Night Other World and Tales of a New World. Already ordered some signed a few years back and the price ain’t that much different from the hardcovers from bol.com. So I’ll get them signed hahaha…But I did buy one of the novella’s with my order because it was really cheap when I ordered at Amazon UK. I already got Dragon’s Oath, signed, but have ordered Kalona’s Fall right now. It’s not signed, but a first edition. Hopefully I’ll meet those amazing women someday and get the unsigned ones signed =]
So let’s continue to the most amazing part of this haul – okay Magnus Chase and AEITA were pretty amazing too.
But my mom got me all 20th aniversary editions of Harry Potter and the Philisopher’s Stone ❤ She got me the set as graduation gift and to add to my collection. I did hope to get first editions, but all are second [damn you hahahahaha]. So go swoon over these lovelies in the next photos:
OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO PRETTY ❤
And finally I want to show you my updated [single] book case – hopefully will get more cases soon – I had to move a lot of books upstairs to fit these beauties, but my book case is pretty amazing now ❤ [oh yes, I changed AEITA and ATATN, found them in the wrong order after this picture lol]
It is a nice book case huh? I love it and it stands proudly in my living room.. Do need to get some glass doors so my cats won’t try to get in and to keep most of the dust out =]
This was my spectacular book haul, hopefully more like these will arrive at my door ❤

March, April, and May Wrap-Up.
Damn, I’ve really spent too little time on my blogs these past few months =o.. Of course, my job has a lot to do with that. The restaurant business is getting busier every day, especially with us in a tourist area. On some days I work shifts of 11 hours or more, these days will only get longer with the weather improving and the summer holidays approaching. Luckily, I’ve got my ‘short’ days too,…

New month, new releases we’ve all been waiting for!! For me, new month means let’s make some tiny new changes. All titles are hyperlinked to the Goodreads page, instead of a seperate link at the end of the blurb.

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme originally from Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things I have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on my blog.
These past two weeks have been crazy with work… I’m so really, really tired right now. And my body isn’t helping me =/ … This weekend I took some days off, because of big planning, but not all plans got green light… To give a recap of the past two weeks:
Monday May 8th was a day of celebration as Feyenoord won the national championship for the first time in 18 years!!!! Wanted to be in Rotterdam on the Coolsingel like over 150k people, but my bf had to work and didn’t know my family was going [read it afterwards, damnit!!] So we did go to the fanshop in the morning and got the special champions edition t-shirts, flag and scarf from Feyenoord and I got my football shorts from this season after all [my size was mostly sold out]… The new Feyenoord dress will come soon… It was a very happy and emotional day =]
Oh Trump can learn something from the Feyenoord fans: This is how we celebrate Feyenoord winning the championship… Over 160 thousand people in the centre of Rotterdam and a regionwide alert from the police not to come anymore [2 hours before the official celebration started] because the city was full!! Some people slept on the Coolsingel to be there… Some flew in from Australia ;] That’s how you celebrate… This is Feyenoord, a club well love by many, many people [L] Feyenoord ’till I die!!
On Tuesday I finally got to go to the hair salon and get my hair colour fixed [with a ombre colouring], so now the difference between my blond and natural colour aren’t that obvious when my hair grows again.. Was as nice as ever getting my hair done for like 3,5 hours hahaha.. Worked the late shift after that.
Wednesday is my school night. Normally I don’t work on Wednesdays, but my colleague asked me, so worked the early shift before racing to school.
Thursday I finally went to the cinema with my mom-in-law again.. We wanted to go see Beauty & the Beast, but for some reason they fucked up the agenda since the week before.. So we went to King Arthur instead!! It’s such a good movie =] Went to Taekwondo at night again. Had been a long time, because of the knee injury in February… The ligament was doing okay again, but the flu and work interfered some weeks too…
The weekend I worked in the kitchen again and burned myself again hahaha. I’m clumsy and knew it was going to happen like a lot… whoops haha
Monday and Tuesday were late shifts in the ice cream salon again…. But I got some bad news from my doctor =[ I noticed some pain again on the other side of my knee since the Friday before.. It seems my ligaments and meniscus are damaged… Didn’t have any direct trauma, so my guess is that my knee sucks for like the past 8 years [every fall or accident was on my right knee] and the fact I’ve been unemployed for almost 2 years and now am working my ass off.. It may be a combination of overusing my knee and the damage from at least the past 8 years…. But the advice was to get myself a knee brace… =/ Have to wear it 10 whole days, 2 weeks at work and at least 3 months while doing sports…
On Wednesday I got the brace, it was 32 degrees Celsius here =o… Nice timing from my body, like always…… I did have to work extra in the ice cream salon, because of the temperature and race to school after again…. And was pissed off at school, my model didn’t show up and ignored all my messages [even sent her one in the morning so not to forget]… So had to give my exercise head a transformation =o It was kind off scary to do hahaha from a bob to a hair cut with a length of 5cm everywhere…
Last Thursday and Friday working again, on T in the ice cream salon and on F in the kitchen… Had a weird-ass accident on Thursday…. We have a net to cover the ice cream in the ice cream showcase which is held in place by two curved pieces of metal… They’re not sharp at all, but I managed to get on of them half a centimeter deep in my hand between my ring-finger and my pinkie… Did not hurt at all then.. Like wtf, how did I manage to do that?!?!?!
So on Friday I was working in the kitchen, prepping from noon and making pizzas in the evening… I was so tired after work… But on Saturday I made plans with my parent-in-law to sell our old junk at a flee market… I was NOT prepared to leave home at 6.20am… Had to collect stuff on Friday night, while being half asleep lol and woke at 5.40am…. I also happened to have two weird ass nights in a row [like turning my light on while sleeping and cancelling my sleep tracker in my sleep….] But I woke up and did sell a bit… Did sleep in a car for like 15 minutes in the afternoon hahaha…. Still so tired…
So today, Sunday May 21… Slept like a baby and according to my bf snored like a construction worker hahahahahahahaaha.. Woke up, had breakfast and slept for another 2 hours on the sofa…. So damn tired… Physically I’m still very tired… Mentally I don’t register a lot hahahaa, I only half listen to what is said, forget everything and can’t focus a lot… But hey, can’t blame me with working this much… longest in a row these past two weeks is 8 days… Starting tomorrow will be working 16 days in a row..
This was a very long recap haha, but had a lot to share… Hopefully I can share some more in the form of reviews and such in the coming days/weeks… Even my reading suffers under this amount of work =/
But you guys have a lovely and beautiful week XoXo
This weeks posts:

Coming next week:
Really not sure if I can find the time and/or energy AND have access to the laptop.. Hope I will post anything, but not gonna make promises I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep..
Like I said my reading has suffered because of work… I did manage to finish Flame in the Mist by Renée Ahdieh and start Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard.. Currently at 2/3rd of the book… Hoping to get some progress done and finish some more on my TBR this month… But I doubt it… whoops..
Okay, this post won’t include the specific dates I’ve watched things… Because of the work chaos, I really can’t remember hahaha… So I’ll only state the episodes and movies I watched =]
