Hi, I’m Lisanne.
I’ve always wanted to know what drives people — why we do what we do, why we love who we love, why we build what we build. Books are how I get closest to an answer.
Since 2021 I’ve been sharing the ones that stayed with me: thought-provoking reads that spark the kind of conversations that actually go somewhere. And in The Hotpot I write three times a week about the other thing that consumes me — building something from scratch. The parts nobody talks about.
Let’s join the conversation.
The Tiny Bookclub
One book a month. The one I’d press into your hands.
Since 2021 I’ve been sending a monthly email to 400+ women — all of them curious, all of them reading to understand people, themselves, and the world. One book. Why it stayed with me. What it connects to. Nothing else.
Nearly 30 books recommended since 2021. Sign up and I’ll send you five of my all-time favourites right away.
The Hotpot
The messy middle of building something — written honestly
Short essays about what it actually takes to build a business, a blog, and a personal brand from scratch. Three times a week. The parts nobody talks about.

BOOK REVIEWS
What I read. What I actually thought.
I only review books I chose myself and finished cover to cover. No summaries. Just what the book did to me — and whether it’s worth yours.
What a WWII Novel Taught Me About Invisible Courage
The Nightingale Book Review I don't read much fiction. When I do, it's usually because someone I trust won't stop talking about a book until I pick it up. That's…
