I didn't reach my goal of reading 50 books, but reading 47 books in a year is still pretty impressive, even if I say so myself. I read some really great books, some incredibly bad books and some pretty average books, but overall I really enjoyed the books that I read.

I like beer. A lot. But not just any beer though, it has to be good. Of course, what I consider a good beer is determined purely by my taste buds and my biased notions of what qualifies as good. I will always prefer a real beer over a boring ale. For example, for me the worst of the worst is something like Budweiser.
I guess that makes me a beer snob*. I don't think I am that bad, but I do Natazzzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13602667069762466989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450896479526736028.post-46696746164666520482016-01-03T13:15:00.000+01:002019-07-08T15:07:24.399+02:0025 Belgian beers I tried and (mostly) liked - Part 3Last year and two years before that I made a list of 25 Belgian beers I tried. This year was a very good year for trying out new beers. So much so that I am already ready to make another list. It was another year of wonderful discoveries. I never knew there were so many Belgian beers I'd never tried before *happy sigh*.
All beers were once again rated with my very subjective rating scale:

Even though I set out to review the books I read each month, I haven't gotten around to it since the beginning of summer. On a positive note though, I have been reading much more lately than those meager 2 books a month I read before.

It helped a lot that I had my summer holidays and while in Barcelona (which is an awesome city btw - if you've never been you should definitely remedy this soon) we even dedicated entire days to doing nothing but reading (and eating, of course - oh how I love Spanish tapas!).
The result is that I managed to finish 5 books last month (yay for me!).
