Before I continue with my monthly personal update, I have some important-ish news to tell you guys! I’m taking a little break. You might have noticed how there was no Top Ten Tuesday post yesterday, and how my posts don’t show up on social media anymore. I explain it all in this post, but I felt like I needed to get this out of the way first. Now let’s move on to more fun stuff, like all the great stuff that has happened to me over the past month. Read all about it in my new Behind the Books post!

I’m about to tell you the craziest thing, and I’m super excited about it; Today is my first day interning at a Dutch publisher! As you might know, I schedule all my post, so when this is published I’ll be at work! I’m writing this a few days ahead and it’s crazy to think about. Real life is about to begin again! But, before I go back to internship and college, I had the past full month off and I spend my time working on the blog!

Behind the Books is my monthly blog and personal update. In this month’s Behind the books, I talk about my summer break, small changes to the blog, my first #BookBabbleChat on Twitter, my new Blog Planner, Camp NaNoWriMo, 100 books on my Goodreads ‘read’ shelf and more! Get yourself a drink and a snack, get comfortable and enjoy July’s Behind the Books post!

Since Books & Babbles is still new, you probably don’t know anything about me. And that should really change! I want my blog to be more than just books and book babble, but personal as well. No, I’m not going to tell you my deepest, darkest secrets (sorry!) But I want to show more of myself than just the books I read. Behind the Books will be a monthly thing, but I want to start with an introduction of myself.
