Read in November 2023
The end of the year is quickly approaching and I’m kind of scrambling to get all the blog posts I want to post before new year written and published. These last couple of weeks have been kind of busy and even though I’ve had most of my reviews ready, I procrastinated on writing the one for The Sunlit Man, which…

Review Secret Project #4: The Sunlit Man
In March 2022, author Brandon Sanderson announced – in what has now become quite the iconic YouTube video – that he had secretly written five books. He decided to offer four of those Secret Projects in a non-traditional way, through self-publishing funded by the most successful Kickstarter campaign ever. Since Brandon Sanderson is one of my favorite fantasy authors, I…

Reading journal October 2023
The idea for my October reading journal actually started when I first saw this ghost painted on a wall nearby. October is the spooky month and I have always incorporated that into my reading journal. My original plan was to simply use the photo I later took of the ghost as a centerpiece, but Pinterest put a stop to that.…

Unboxing Secret Project #4
Huh, I was really convinced that I had already written and posted this unboxing, but apparently not! Even though I already received my 4th secret project from Brandon Sanderson at the end of October, before I even got around to reading the book digitally, which was a first! Previously, I had always read and seen the book digitally before seeing…

Book unhaul #1
You may know that a lot of new books constantly find their way to my bookshelves. Besides the number of booksubscriptions, I’m also not averse to simply buying books, be it online or in a brick and mortar store. I do have quite a bit of space on my bookshelves, but with the constant influx, this space is rapidly shrinking.…

First Law Along #5: The Heroes
With this second phase of the FirstLawAlong I feel less urgency to read on, since the next books are only marginally interlinked and can mainly be read as standalone books, albeit in the same world as the original trilogy with cameos from characters we’ve met before. It was a bit difficult to motivate myself to read this second standalone novel…

Reading journal September 2023
For my September reading journal I drew inspiration from different sources. It started with a sheet of stickers that I bought a while ago from 24papershop, when I was shopping for a new journal for next year’s reading journal. I already liked the stickers when I chose them from my computer screen, but in real life I was twice as…

Read in October 2023
October was Spookoplathon month and I managed to read all the books I had intended to read, with a couple of extra thrown in the mix. In total I read 10 books, good for 3691 pages. The average October book comes to 369 pages/book. It was a bit of an average month, with mostly good books, but also a few…

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…

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…
