Books that I have read
These are books I have read. I don't know specific dates and I can't remember for a lot of books which year I have read them. This is why I didn't include books on royal families that I have in my collection. This list will be regularly updated, as I recall books and the general time frame. And of course the list for 2025 will continuously updated through the year.

Till 1997
Prior to becoming 13, I read The Famous Five by Enid Blyton, also her Malory Towers series, Adventure series and the Five found out-series. And a lot of other kids books.
From age 13, start diving into horror with R.L Stines Goosebumps-series and a curated thriller-series for teens/young adults by Dutch publisher Kluitman (they also published the Goosebumps series in Dutch).
1997 - 2000
Towards the Millennium these years I make the transition to adult literature. I discover VC Andrews and Stephen King as a mid-teen.
2001 - 2010
From age 16 on, I only read adult literature. In these years I read VC Andrews' Wildflowers series, Hudson series, Shooting Stars series, Willow series.
I read Nicci French, Agatha Christie and the Inspector Linley Mysteries by Elizabeth George.
I am also getting in to my vampire era, with Stephanie Meyers Twilight and The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. And classics like Dracula by Bram Stoker and Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice (movie was better, but perhaps the book is up for a reread).
2010 - 2020
Continuing with with vampires I read the Sookie Stackhouse-series by Charlaine Harris. Also quite some royalty-books.
