After finishing Before They Are Hanged I just couldn’t wait to continue with this series. According to the schedule of the First Law Along readathon the third book is to be read by the end of June, but I already finished it in April. Since this is the third book of the first First Law trilogie, it’s quite possible that…

Originally, Fairyloot’s focus was on Young-Adult Fantasy books, but that changed in 2022 with the launch of their Adult Fantasy Book-Only subscription.

Reading journal February 2023
My reading journal for February got an accidental Beauty and the Beast theme.

Those two elements together immediately…

In total I read 9 books in February, amounting to 3476 pages. The average February book comes to 386 pages/book. In terms of the feel…
