Review: Harbinger of Justice by Andrew Watson
It’s no secret that I watch a lot of BookTube. I love watching videos where people talk about books, whether it’s lists or recommendations or reviews. I just like to see people get excited about books. One of those people is Andrew Watson, whose channel I’ve been following for a while and where I’m also a member of his Discord…

Read in September 2024
September was the month for the Autumn equinox in the Magical Readathon. In previous years, the fall semester took place in August, but due to circumstances it was moved forward a month. Although I didn’t post anything about it here, I still participated and with success! In September I read a total of 11 books, good for 3571 pages. The…

Read in August 2024
Almost the end of October and I still have to tell you about the books I read in August. Tsksk! Contrary to my usual practice, there weren’t that many. In August I read a total of 5 books, good for 2034 pages. The average August book comes to 407 pages/book. In August I did find a new favorite book and…

First Law Along #10: The Wisdom of Crowds
With this tenth post, the #FirstLawAlong is over! The live show for this book already took place at the beginning of September and I miraculously managed to finish the book before the start of the show. I didn’t manage to write and post my review before then, however, which is why I have now procrastinated on it, since the events…

First Law Along #9: The Trouble with Peace
I missed the live show for the ninth and penultimate (!) act in this First Law Along readathon due to other obligations. That’s why I kept putting off writing my review for this book. The live show for the 10th and final book is on September 1st, and although I still have to start reading and therefore have no idea…

The Fitzalong #3: Assassin’s Quest
Robin Hobb is a much-loved fantasy author and one I have long wanted to read, but also one I find extremely intimidating. A readathon is something that often activates me, so I was happy to find out about The Fitzalong by Lianne from Literary Diversions. The plan is to read the entire Realm of the Elderlings series, comprised of 16…

Read in June 2024
The reading slump that managed to sink its claws into me in May stubbornly clung to me for much of June. At the beginning of the month I kept trying audiobooks, but eventually decided to leave it be and not force it, resulting in 20 days of not reading. Thanks to a fortunate rediscovery on my e-reader, my reading mojo…

Read in May 2024
The first half of May was a boom for my reading pleasure, but then in the second week I delved into a highly rated book for a book club that I just couldn’t find my way into. I felt how the book sucked all the pleasure and enthusiasm out of me, but I still didn’t want to give in. I…
