Books in the spotlight

Kaas Vos & Coelha- Kus of Kaas

In Kaas Vos & Coelha – Kus of Kaas? the sun finally returns to Kaasdrecht, just in time for the biggest village festival of the year. With a chaotic stage play, a runaway smoke machine, and Fina Vlamstaart stealing the spotlight, the entire town becomes obsessed with one thing: a kiss that might have been part of the show… or might have been real. While Juna films everything and Elias tries to analyse romance like a science, Kaas Vos and Coelha are forced to face what everyone else already sees. A warm, funny, and slightly romantic story full of misunderstandings, awkward feelings, and village gossip.

Lekker Direct

Lekker Direct is a hilarious and painfully accurate culture guide about a Greek couple and their expat friends trying to survive life in the Netherlands. Through kringverjaardags, Kingsday chaos, bitterballen trauma, and awkward Dutch honesty, the book explores the bizarre traditions that locals treat as normal. Packed with absurd characters, cringe-worthy moments, and sharp humor, it is part expat survival manual, part therapy session. Perfect for expats, tourists, and Dutch readers who can laugh at themselves.

Ze leefden nog kort en ongelukkig Verzamelbundel

What if fairy tales finally made sense?
Unhappily After (Ze leefden nog kort en ongelukkig) is a dark and satirical collection of adult fairy tale retellings where romance, magic, and moral lessons collapse under modern logic. This bundle combines Books 1, 2, and 3 into dozens of short stories filled with dry humor, bureaucracy, and characters who get exactly what they deserve.

“Friendship is like cheese tea. Strange at first, but comforting forever..”
