About Me



Hello everybody,

You all came here, because you were all probably curious about me.
Well here is my introduction.

About me
I am Jolien, I'm 16 years old and live in a country called the Netherlands. And now you might question; "Why do you write your blog in English?"? Well this is because, I mostly read in English and when I read my books in English, it is easier to write the reviews in English as well. But that aside I do also speak Dutch as my mother tongue.

Hobbies

Reading
 To be completely honest with you all, I didn't really like reading when I was younger. I never picked up any books, and when we had to read in primary school, I never did. It was around the age of 13 that I actually started to like books and reading. This was around the time that my parents bought me the first Harry Potter book to read. So, no, I've not read for a very long time; and, no, I've not read a lot of books, but I do really enjoy reading and spending my time in the garden with a good book.



I mostly read fantasy novels, You can always give me a fantasy book, especially when its set in the 1800's and has magic in it, or a circus. (Can you guess what my favourite book is already? c: )  I also quite enjoy contemporary books :)


Drawing

As a child I have always loved drawing a lot. I have already drawn as long as I can remember, and I still love it till this day. When I draw I don't really have a certain concept. Every drawing is different and that's how I like it to be.

I don't only draw for fun, I also draw, because I hope to study 3D animation when I graduate high school. This will still take me 2 years, but hopefully I will be able to do it.

Music
I have always loved music. I think I got the music side from my dad because, he really influenced me with my music. I always used to sing and dance to different music when i was younger. And I actually tried to play the violin for a week. (sorry dad ♥) Right now I play Piano, and it is a big part of my lifestyle since I love it so much, but I also play the Guitar and the Ukulele. I never had lessons for them , but I teached myself.


Writing

Writing is a pretty new thing for me. I've not done this for a long time yet, but I do really enjoy it. Currently I'm trying to write my own book, but that isn't really going at the speed that I want it to go. Although I do plan to finish half of it in the summer break. We'll see how that goes.
Writing is a pretty new thing for me but I am all about exploring new things. That's why I'm now starting my blog right here. When I make some progress in the writing of my book, I might post an article about it, but ofcourse I can't predict the future, so we'll have to wait for that.




That was about everything that I have to tell about myself. I did not write everything down, because if I would, I would still be writing here till I'm 38. Just for the people who are still interested, yes I do really like anime and manga, and I like to game as well. But my heart will always be with the books. And that's where it should be.
