Hi, I’m Cézanne Cao — a full-time business controller at the Rijksmuseum and a full-time book lover at heart. When I’m not  immersed in spreadsheets and strategy, you’ll find me lost in the pages of a novel, scribbling thoughts in the margins, or crafting essays inspired by what I read. Reading isn’t just a pastime for me — it’s a serious, joyful pursuit that shapes how I see the world.

This blog is my personal collage of content — a space where literature meets life. Here, you’ll find book reviews that go beyond summaries, podcasts that explore the art of reading, vlogs capturing my daily reading rituals, and original writing that reflects my inner world. It’s a mix of reflection, exploration, and connection — all centered around the written word.

I created this space not only to share my thoughts, but to find kindred spirits — people who take reading seriously, who find comfort and challenge in books, and who believe that stories can change us. If that sounds like you, I hope you’ll stay a while, join the conversation, and maybe even share your own reading journey.

Let’s build a community of thoughtful readers. Subscribe to the newsletter, leave a comment, or connect with me on our community— I’d love to hear what you’re reading, thinking, and creating.
