Podcasts seem to be all the rage these days. It took me a long time to properly get into them because I never really found one that stuck with me, until I discovered my #1 favorite podcast Potterless! Now that I’ve listened to a whole bunch more, I feel like I have a good selection to recommend to you.

Happy 2020! A new decade, haven’t showered since last year, blah blah, you’ve heard it all before.
2019 was a year that was fairly clear to me: I knew I was going to move out and focus mostly on training my service dog. 2020, however, is a blank slate. I have very little actually planned and I have no clue what this year is going to bring. It’s exciting but also a little daunting!

In the second quarter of 2019 I had very little time to read because I moved out! I got my keys in May and moved sometime mid-June, so I mostly spent my time in homeware stores and painting my new place.

Autisme: dat is toch dat je supersnel kunt uitrekenen dat 7 augustus 1984 op een dinsdag viel? Nou… nee. Bianca Toeps legt je in dit boek haarfijn uit wat het wél betekent als je autisme hebt.
Dat doet ze bijvoorbeeld door te kijken wat de wetenschap zegt over autisme (en waarom sommige theorieën de prullenbak in kunnen), maar ook door haar eigen verhaal te vertellen, en andere mensen met autisme te interviewen. Bianca beschrijft op een frisse en luchtige manier de verschillende situaties waar je als autist tegenaan loopt in het dagelijks leven. Daarnaast geeft ze niet-autistische mensen tips: wat je doet als iemand je liever niet aankijkt, waarom je soms beter kunt mailen en vooral waarom het helemaal geen compliment is als je zegt “maar je ziet er helemaal niet autistisch uit!’
In which I paint my bedroom, go to Harry Potter In Concert, and take my service dog Nugget to Amsterdam.
