100 WOMER WRITES | CHALLENGE

Hi everyone! 

Long time no see... I'm very sorry and hope this is the last time that I am going to apologise for my absence in a long time. Since I have finished school for this years (technically I still have two days left but oh well) I decided that it is the perfect moment for me to pick up blogging again. 

Although I had quite the hiatus myself for blogging, I never stopped reading. As well as I did also not stop reading book  blogs or watching booktube. I am following Jean (JeanBookishThoughts) for a while now and she is the creator of '100 Women Writers'. This is a list she put together with 100 must read women writers. For more information what this list is about click here. I find this to be an amazing concept and decided that I want to participate to this as well. 

I discovered that a lot of the authors on this list, I know and really want to read books of but I haven't. Now that I have a visual list I'm very excited to see how fast I will discover new books by amazing female authors.
