About Lisanne.

I’m a writer, blogger, and avid reader. I love languages, and I speak three of them. Every month, I send out the Tiny Bits Newsletter, a little letter from me to you with 10 handpicked, meaningful things I’ve come across. Think of it as a tiny treasure map including hidden gems for anyone trying to find a little more meaning in a noisy, fast-moving world. I hope Tiny Bits feels like a quiet corner of the internet—a place to slow down, reconnect, and discover something that points you back to yourself.

I also write the Hotpot, a handwritten newsletter I send out three times a week, to share little ideas, observations and insights that could make you think. Each mini essay is designed to be read in just 3 minutes—a small pause in your day for reflection, inspiration, or even just a deep breath.

But there’s more to this platform than both of my newsletters. I’ve been writing at Lisanneswart.com since the beginning of 2021, as a way to share my favorite books beyond the circle of my friends and family. Since then, the bookshelf has grown to include more than 30 thought-provoking book recommendations, reaching more than 120.000 people every year. This list of handpicked books is here for you to explore, enjoy, and to spark a meaningful conversation.

Every now and then, I write you a letter on my blog. They’re personal, a little meandering, sometimes messy—but always honest. Everything to keep you updated on charity, books, and more. If you’re curious, you can start by opening what I’ve been writing about lately. 👉 Open a letter​.

At its heart, this blog is my journal—a place to explore what matters, document what I’m reading and learning, and invite others into the dialogue. I hope it inspires you to slow down, think deeply, and stay curious. Thanks for being here.
