When I love a book, I give it five stars. If I don't love it, I keep it to myself. That's why every book/ARC I've rated thus far has five stars - but that doesn't mean books I've read and not yet rated are less loved! I haven't had Goodreads long so adding ratings all the time.

Kris Terwindt
Kris Terwindt (1978) schreef als meisje van zes met een dik, blauw potlood grote woorden in kleine schriftjes. Met haar verhalen vol humor en dramatische wendingen vermaakte ze haar klasgenoten en leraren jaar in, jaar uit. Maar schrijver werd ze niet.

Ze studeerde twee jaar aan het Koninklijk Instituut voor de Marine, maar bleek totaal ongeschikt voor het leger, werd leraar basisonderwijs en studeerde Onderwijskunde aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Ze stond voor de klas in het basis- en middelbaar onderwijs en gaf les aan juffen en meesters.
Na twintig jaar dagelijks verhalen vertellen aan haar leerlingen, stak de drang om te schrijven weer de kop op. Onontkoombaar dit keer. En nu luisterde ze wel.
