Advantages of reading books

Recently, I discovered a very interesting article about the advantages
of reading books. 

For me the main reason of reading books (and reviewing) is to learn
new things, to get new insights and for making my English better,
because my native language is Dutch. Or doing some armchair travelling
with the memoirs. It just makes me happy 😊

It was a bit quiet on this blog, due to some other busy things but
hopefully I can pick up the thread again and talk nice blog posts/reviews/
author in the picture posts or about other things.








👉 Thank you very much for your support and if you have any - book related -
ideas, feel free to let me know.

Meanwhile, find the article on next link: 10 Great Advantages of Reading Boooks

Keep on reading!

Antwerpen, Belgium. 


On Golden Land

 A beautiful story 



Summary


Seven lifelong friends from California meet along their journey to
adulthood and fall into committed relationships. Andrea and Paul meet
after university growing marijuana in the Golden Triangle. 
Together they decide to retire, live communally in New Mexico, and
grow marijuana and ginger. They are joined by an eighth member along
the way to become four couples. They build a homestead, complete with
four houses, a greenhouse, yoga studio, and cutting shed. Relationships
are tried and tested by external pressures, which threaten to destroy their
communal life. Children and grandchildren come and go to create a
dynamic unit. Will their lifestyle turn into a hippy pipedream or a
happy ending?




















My Review

I really enjoyed reading On Golden Land due to the well written story
and the characters, which were pointed out very good. The story was
clear and it captivated me from start to finish. I also liked the layout of
the cover. 

I recommend the book to 18+ readers due to some scenes in the book,
but a fantastic read.

Of course I give a 5 star rating to On Golden Land and I hope more 
books will follow!
