Welcome to Drizzle & Hurricane Books! It’s lovely to meet you. Grab a cup of coffee, tea, water or whatever you fancy the most and let’s get to know each other!
☂️About the blog
Drizzle & Hurricane Books was founded back in November 2014 by Marie, a Literature University student looking to share her love for books and fictional worlds with others. From one out-of-the-blue moment, Drizzle & Hurricane Books was born.
From a simple hobby, this book blog has turned into a real passion where she pours her heart out every evening, weekend and moment of, for the love of screaming about books. In early 2016, Marie invited her sister to co-blog with her occasionally on all bookish topics, also every now and then going on a tangent about other passions such as traveling and writing.
Drizzle & Hurricane Books is a blog, but it’s also a hope. To boost book bloggers’ incredible work tirelessly, to showcast and recommend books you’ll fall for, to share advice, recommendations, guidance and most of all, for it to be a place where book bloggers’ thrive, feel positive, happy and proud of being part of such a wonderful community.
☂️About the founder, Marie (she/her)
Hi! I’m Marie, I’m a twenty-something university graduate born, raised and currently living somewhere in France, I’m working by day. By night, I’m screaming about my favorite books, the books I want to read and don’t have enough time to, blogging tirelessly and boosting book bloggers’ incredible work. When I’m not doing all of these things, I’m planning my next trip with my sister and trying my best to write the books of my heart.
My biggest dream? Publish a book, but since publishing is a very complicated path, I’ll settle for being able to hopefully help you find some of your next favorite reads with this blog!
