Looking for summer reads? Start with the Summer Reading Starter Kit

Many Dutch people make the same resolution at the start of summer: this year, I'm finally going to read more. But then the holiday begins, the calendar fills up, it's hot outside, and still, you don't pick up that book. Sound familiar?

The problem is rarely that you don't feel like reading. The problem is that reading doesn't feel like a ritual yet. Something you just do, without thinking, like making coffee or putting on a series in the evening.

The Summer Reading Starter Kit was made for exactly that moment. Not as an encouragement to achieve more, but as an invitation to make reading this summer feel as it should: like something that is entirely for you.

Why it's so hard to read more

Many Dutch people want to read more, but often it doesn't happen. That's not a lack of motivation. It's a lack of structure and atmosphere. Puncky

Reading competes with scrolling, series, and social obligations. And when you finally sit down, you don't know what you want to read, you don't have anything at hand, and before you know it, you're picking up your phone again.

That's precisely why a good setup makes so much difference. Anyone who has a dedicated reading spot, a matching drink, and a bookmark that invites use, reads more. Not because they want to more, but because reading has become easier than not reading.

What's in the Summer Reading Starter Kit?

The Summer Reading Starter Kit is a complete bundle of bookish goodies, specially curated for summer. For €29.99 (from €34.99), you get everything you need to start, track, and fully enjoy your summer reading.

It includes:

📖 A Reading Log of your choice

Choose between a Summer Reading Log or a Fantasy Reading Log. Keep track of which books you read, when you started, when you finished, and what you thought of them. There's something irresistibly satisfying about a reading log that starts filling up.

📝 A Summer Book Tracker

An overview of your summer TBR, your reading progress, and your goals. Handy if you've set a reading goal, but also just fun to flip through once summer is over.

🎨 A Summer Coloring Page

For those moments when your mind is too full for a book, but your hands still want to do something. Coloring is an underrated way to unwind and then pick up that book.

✨ An exclusive Summer Sticker Sheet

A full sticker sheet with summery bookish designs, made especially for this kit. Decorate your reading journal, planner, water bottle, or laptop with stickers that perfectly match the summer reading vibe.

🔖 4 bookmarks of your choice

This might be the most fun part: you get to choose four bookmarks from our entire collection. Not just the summer collection, but truly everything. Go for the style that suits you:

💖 8 die-cut stickers of your choice

Eight die-cut stickers from our entire collection. Mix and match as much as you like. Think of summery stickers such as:

🎁 FREE Summer Reading Bingo Card

An extra gift with the kit: a Summer Reading Bingo Card that challenges you to discover new books and genres. Perfect if you want to turn your reading summer into a game.
