One brief book recommendation, once every month

Trema [?] is where I write one brief book recommendation, once every month. Born from a desire to write briefly about the books I loved reading, I've covered fiction and non-fiction books since late 2022. This publication is intended for both the casual and voracious reader; if you seek out and enjoyed one of the books I wrote about, I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to send me an email or reach out on Bluesky.

Subscribing is free, and will remain so forever—thank you for reading.

If you'd like me to write similarly for your publication, don't hesitate to reach out, either. I can write in English, or in Dutch.

This website runs on Ghost, an open-source publishing platform. The theme is custom, designed and built by myself. Typography is set in Degular by Oh No Type Co. for headings, and Foster Type's Blanco for body copy.

If you'd like to read more about how I went about creating it, you can do so on my personal website.

After nearly two years of writing a book recommendation per month, it was time to design a new and improved reading experience.


A note on Bookshop.org

On every post, I link to my shop on Bookshop.org, where you can buy the book I write about. They theoretically give me 10% of every sale made via my affiliate links, but I have no way of extracting any funds from the account, as I’m not based in the United States. Once they allow Europeans to do so, I'll find a fitting way to donate those funds—I'll probably donate them to my local library.

If Bookshop.org is not available in your country, I’d urge you to seek out the books in a local bookstore if you can.


If you feel like supporting my writing, you can! Clicking the button below lets you make a one-time donation. However, I'd much prefer if you shared one of my book recommendations with a friend. Thank you!
