About Your book bestie + yapper
Hi, I’m Simone!
Welcome to Simone’s Bookshelf! I’m a Dutch book lover & reviewer who loves getting lost in emotional romances, immersive fantasy worlds, and the occasional story that completely wrecks me (in the best way).
If you’re looking for honest, spoiler-free reviews, thorough book recaps, and a cozy place to discover your next favorite book, you’re in the right place.

Books are more than stories—they’re adventures, comfort, and little escapes from everyday life.
I’ve always loved stories, but over the past few years reading has become one of my favorite ways to unwind. Whether it’s curling up with a cozy fantasy, staying up far too late because I have to know what happens next, or spending hours talking about books online, reading has become a huge part of my life.
That’s exactly why I created Simone’s Bookshelf. I wanted a place where I could share honest reviews, help fellow readers discover books they’ll genuinely enjoy, and create resources that make reading even more fun—whether you’re looking for your next five-star read, trying to remember what happened before the next book in a series, or simply adding another title to your ever-growing TBR.
Want to see what I’m currently reading or chat about books? You can usually find me on Goodreads and Instagram.
