Hello everyone! My name is Linda and I’m currently a fourth-year uni student from Germany who – clichédly – has always loved reading. Uni and reading already take up most of my time but when I’m doing neither of these things, chances are high I am either at the movies, planning the next trip or just soaking in the little sunlight we get here during the winter time.
I started blogging a couple of years ago under the name @flourishreader. As the pandemic hit I went on a hiatus too. Always missing blogging and the community I created this new page Linda’s Literary Lobby at the end of 2023. I mostly read (ya/adult) fantasy but also pick up different (sub-)genres including historical fiction, contemporary novels and also classics.
On here you’ll find book reviews, lists and tags, recommendations, insights from bookish events I attend and hopefully a comfortable place to visit every now and then!
