The Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2025
For years now, every July I’ve seen one BookTuber after another tackle the famous Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag, originally created by @EarlGreyBooks. It’s the perfect way to reflect on what you’ve read so far, what’s still on your TBR, and which books have stuck with you, whether in a good or… not-so-good way. Recently, I also came across written…

Page & Wick #8: May 2025
My May box of Page & Wick arrived in early June. This time, it wasn’t a brand-new release, but a book that had been on my radar for a while – which made it even more appealing to buy. The monthly theme was Bones of the Forgotten, which immediately created a nice dark and epic atmosphere. And that perfectly matched…

Halfway through reading year 2025
The end of June means we’re already halfway through 2025! An ideal time to review my reading goals and see how well (or badly) I’m doing so far. I’m not going to deny that I’ve read quite a bit. I know I read more than the average person, but I still like to set myself a few extra challenges each…

The Broken Binding Sci-Fi Sub #3: April 2025
When The Broken Binding announced their next Sci-Fi Sub in February, there was quite a stir. Instead of a set of three books, it would now be a single book. Not a problem in itself, if it weren’t for the fact that the “skip policy” remained the same: anyone who skipped this book was not allowed to miss any more…

Read in June 2025
June was an excellent reading month! At the beginning of the month, I took some time to review my reading goals and their current status. Based on that, I set a clear TBR, with the aim of keeping my reading statistics for the six months up to par. That focused approach turned out to pay off, because I read a…

Illumicrate #32: May 2025
Before I could even get my Illumicrate box from the delivery locker, a friend had already told me that this box was really worth it. I was especially looking forward to the book of the month, because yes, I had already spoiled myself before I had the box shipped. An attempt to make my purchases a little more consciously… although…

Fairyloot Adult #39: May 2025
I was incredibly curious about May’s FairyLoot box. Ever since the theme announcement back in early April, any lingering doubts about what the featured book might be completely disappeared. It became crystal clear which title it would be and I couldn’t be more excited. It was the latest release by an author whose writing style and storytelling I absolutely fell…

Read in May 2025
May was again a rather lean month in terms of reading. In terms of numbers, I certainly read the fewest amounts of books so far, but thanks to the two huge tomes I managed to finish, it was not the lowest month in terms of number of pages. In May, I read a total of 5 books, which is good…

Illumicrate #31: April 2025
My April Illumicrate box arrived on the first business day of May, which is surprisingly early compared to other months. It’s always a bit of a gamble as to when exactly a box will be delivered, but as long as Illumicrate ships with BPost, hopefully things will continue to go smoothly. Bpost makes good use of alternative delivery options, unlike…

Sun Eater Read Along #2: Howling Dark
The original plan was to finish this second book in the Sun Eater Read Along in March… but that clearly didn’t work out. Luckily, that doesn’t matter at all in this read along. In Andrew’s Discord you can always look back at your own pace in the discussion channels, and there are always people who read along with you or…
