    Reading journal March 2023

    Although March was a drizzly and cold month this year, with few actual spring-like days, I still wanted to do something cheerful and full of flowers for my reading journal. Just like in February, I used elements from a calendar of last year. Eventually I only used one cut-out from the calendar, namely the patterned paper with pink/orange flowers. This…

    Read in March 2023

    For March, I initially had big reading plans. I wanted to continue or even finish a number of series I’m in the middle of and I had more or less committed myself to starting a new series as a buddy read. However, I quickly had to admit that I bit off more than I could chew. The series I wanted…

    Fairyloot Adult #9: A Dowry of Blood

    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. As a subscriber to their regular YA subscription, I was given priority to sign up for this new service, and as a book and fantasy enthusiast, I couldn’t resist. I think this book is the earliest I’ve ever…

    Reading journal February 2023

    My reading journal for February got an accidental Beauty and the Beast theme. I started with a picture I had printed a long time ago of a lady in a beautiful red dress and a beautifully written font of “Februari” combined with a red-grey pattern, which I cut out of a calendar of last year. Those two elements together immediately…

    Read in Februari 2023

    Although February is the shortest month of the year and there were a number of days I didn’t read at all, I still managed to read almost as much as what I read in January. 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…

    Reading journal January 2023

    The theme of my January reading journal is no coincidence, of course. Since I was behind on setting up my monthly pages, I could use it to draw inspiration from the books I had already read that month. Of course this was Tress of the Emerald Sea. However, instead of going for a green theme, I was inspired by a…

    Reading Journal 2023: Set-up

    I wanted to start this post by saying that I’m ridiculously late with this post, until I saw that I actuallly said the exact same thing in my 2022 set-up, which was posted even three days later in the Month of March compared to this post. So it seems that I’m actually early this year! 😝 That being said, come…
