First Lines Friday – Grace & Fury by Tracy Banghart
Happy Fri-yay!
I haven’t been very active on my blog, Twitter or Instagram last week. This is because we have a new family member, Fancy the parakeet! He is amazing, cute and I love playing with him. Taming a parakeet isn’t that hard, but it does take a lot of time and patience. I’m having so much fun with it and Fancy makes me really happy!
Today I’m participating in the Book Beginnings meme hosted by Rose City Reader. Book Beginnings is a weekly tag that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you are currently reading, along with your initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.
What is the first line of the book I am currently reading?

Mid-Year Freakout Blog Tag
I was tagged by the lovely Kayleigh from My Endless Shelf to do the Mid-Year Freakout Blog Tag.
I can’t believe it’s July already.. 2018 is going by so fast. In January of this year I started my blog and in the past 6 months I have met some amazing bloggers and read a lot of great books.
Let’s get started with this tag!
The Books I Want to Read in July
For this month I don’t have a lot of things planned. I’m going to a Guns ‘n Roses concert and to a food truck festival, but other than that.. I hope to spend a lot of time in our garden and I plan to read at least six books this month.
***
Deze maand heb ik niet erg veel dingen gepland staan. Ik ga naar een concert van Guns ’n Roses en naar een food truck festival, maar verder.. Ik hoop dat ik veel tijd in onze tuin kan doorbrengen en ik wil deze maand ten minste zes boeken lezen
Let’s take a look at my July TBR!
June Wrap-up
June was a great month and I did some really fun things. On June 8th I celebrated my birthday and a week later the Boyfriend & I went on a city trip to Prague. I’ve spend a lot of time outside this month, since the weather was amazing. Also I went shopping for a wedding dress and I’ve send out some job application letters.. Exciting!
Unfortunately I didn’t read as much as I had planned this month.. You can see what was on my June TBR here.
Juni was een geweldige maand en ik heb een aantal er leuke dingen gedaan. 8 Juni vierde ik mijn verjaardag en een week later ging ik met mijn vriend op vakantie in Praag. Ik ben deze maand veel buiten geweest, want het was ontzettend lekker weer. Ook ben ik gaan winkelen voor een trouwjurk en heb ik een aantal sollicitaties de deur uit gedaan.. Spannend!
Helaas heb ik deze maand niet zo veel gelezen als dat ik had gepland. Je kunt hier mijn TBR voor Juni vinden.
Let’s take a look at the books I’ve read and bought in June!

Travel – The Best Breakfast in Prague
Last week I’ve been on vacation in Prague. I loved our 5-day city trip and Prague is a wonderful historical city.
I was looking for a place to have breakfast and I saw a Google review stating “Some of the best breakfast I’ve ever had” served at Café Savoy, a restaurant located only 5 minutes from our hotel. We wanted to try it out and we ended up getting breakfast there every morning of our trip. This really was the best breakfast I’ve ever had!
Vorige week ben ik op vakantie geweest in Praag. Ik vond onze 5-daagse city trip geweldig en Praag is een prachtige historische stad.
Ik was aan het zoeken naar een zaak waar we konden ontbijten en ik kwam een Google review tegen waarin stond dat “Some of the best breakfast I’ve ever had” werd geserveerd by Café Savoy, een restaurant op 5 minuten afstand van ons hotel. We wilden dit wel eens uitproberen en we hebben uiteindelijk elke ochtend van onze vakantie ontbeten bij Café Savoy. Dit was echt het beste ontbijtje dat ik ooit heb gehad!
