Athena Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Here are some mini-reviews of the books I've read the past week. Loes den Hollander - Voorbedacht This is a literary thriller by Loes den Hollander, about a woman whose child disappears, her boyfriend disappears at the same time. I found the book to be a quick read, it had short chapters and I wanted to keep reading it. Dylan Haegens, Marit Brugman and Rick Vermeulen - Dylan Haegens Stripboek I bought this because I watch videos of these people on YouTube. This comic book has a lot of short comics in it, and I liked most of them and I also liked the illustration style. Anne Frank, Ari Folman, David Polonsky - Het Achterhuis This is the graphic novel of Anne Frank's diary. I thought it was quite well done. Of course, it loses a little bit from the actual diary, but I still really felt for Anne and what happened to her, and even though I'd read the diary before, the graphic novel did make me think. I liked the illustrations. Megan McDonald (ill. Peter Reynolds) - Fleur Humeur 5: Fleur Humeur wordt dokter (Judy Moody 5: Doctor Judy Moody) I read this based on the recommendation of a good friend. I quite liked it, it was funny in some places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Today marks my 5-year BCF anniversary !! So in honour of that I thought I'd write a little piece about how much BCF means to me. When I first visited this forum, I was looking for a forum to discuss books with other people. I googled on 'book forum' and BCF was one of the first hits. I found a very friendly community on here and I loved it. I've found several friends though this forum, and I'm very grateful for all of you lovely people. I love talking with all of you (not just about books, also about other stuff). I love going on this forum every day and reading all the new posts. I love going on the forum and post my thoughts about books I've read or other topics that interest me. A lot of you know about my autism and sometimes about my ADD and are very supportive and understanding. That to me is a rare occurance, as sometimes in real life some people in my past have not always been so understanding. I love the friendly culture of our forum. I love that we all can have our book (b)logs and post about what we read. It feels very personal. In these 5 years it seems I have made 17,016 posts (which will be 17,017 when I post this). But what's way more important, is that I've made a lot of good friends on here. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for this forum and the lovely people on here and those I met through here. Anyway.. that's a lot of rambliness to basically say that I love this place and I love you all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year so far I realised it was my anniversary a few days late, so I was determined to remember it on the date this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
