    Read in September 2023

    September was a month without readathons, but I still had a pretty focused TBR. I wanted to finish a few outstanding series, continue reading in another series, participate in a book club and make progress with my Owlcrate project. And with this my reading month was quickly booked! In September I read a total of 8 books, good for 2707…

    On the go #8

    Slowly, a little too slowly for my liking, autumn is creeping into the land. Not so much the weather, but rather the shops radiate this. The mannequins are given warmer autumn fashion, coziness with candles and plaids is promoted and, for those stores that sell them, more and more woolen items are becoming available. I always enjoy looking at the…

    Reading journal August 2023

    August was the month of the magical readathon and for my reading journal I was inspired by a spread I made in April for the Alchemy quest. Now, the inspiration didn’t really go much further than wanting to use the same purple paper, since I had decided that I wanted to work with purple in August. Because of the paper…

    The Broken Binding Sub #1: April-May-June 2023

    It was as if they had smelled it, because shortly after I finally took the decision to cancel my Fairyloot YA subscription, I received an invite from The Broken Binding for their new TIER 2 subscription. The Broken Binding – TBB for writing ease – is an independent bookshop in the UK, specializing in Fantasy and Sci-Fi and often selling…

    Read in August 2023

    August was the month of the Autumn Equinox of the magical readathon, an event that usually causes me to read a lot of books. This time, due to circumstances, I was less involved than in other years, but still managed to pass my required exams, plus extra! In August I also read significantly smaller books, in between gigantic ones. I…

    October TBR: Becca’s Spookoplathon 2023

    Ever since 2020, I have been participating in Becca‘s monthlong readathon based on the well-known Monopoly board game. For this purpose, Becca makes her own version of the Monopoly board, specifically for picking the books you will read that month. This year, however, there was no September bookoplathon announcement, which was to be expected given Becca’s busy schedule for September.…

    Reading journal July 2023

    A while ago I bought some sticker sheets with a constellation theme. I really liked the colours and the figures were cute, so I wanted to use it in a reading journal theme. And in July I did just that! The heavenly theme really came together when I found this beautiful picture on Pinterest. Unfortunately it doesn’t say who made…

    On the go #7

    I’m one of those bloggers who isn’t really good at writing about unfinished things. I always wait to write about something when I’ve finished it and go “LOOK WHAT I MADE!”. However, I always enjoy reading posts about ongoing projects, because I like to see projects grow and evolve. Plus, I think if I talked more about the things I’m…

    Unboxing Secret Project #3

    Since the start of these Secret Projects, Dragonsteel has had some delays in sending out the physical books, due to a combination of problems with the printers and shipping companies. Personally, I don’t really mind, since we do received the books in e-book format in our inbox the first of the month anyway. Meanwhile, the delays seem to be all…
