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…

First Law Along #1: The Blade Itself
In my post from last week, about my readathon plans for 2023, you could already read that I was joining the Catch-up Book Club’s new readalong, a book club founded by Becca (@BeccaandTheBooks) to read big intimidating series together. The new readalong for 2023 and the first half of 2024 is for all of author Joe Abbercrombie’s books in his…

Read in January 2023
The first month of the year and immediately a bull’s eye in terms of the books read. I started with a book that was very hyped, thanks to the Kickstarter, which I also loved and ended with a a fairly decent read. In between I read a number of nice to great books. Only one book was so and so,…

Reading Journal 2022: looking back
On the Flemish/Dutch part of the blog, I’ve already shared a couple of sneaky looks at my final year spreads for my reading journal of 2022. I’ve shared my reading statistics*, an overview of all the readathons* I participated in and I made a whole post about reading series* and how I keep track of them, in which I also…

2023 TBR: readathon plans
Readthons and reading challenges have been a staple in my reading for a couple of years now. I find them motivating and often the extra boost that I needed to finally pick up some of my most intimidating books. So it’s no surprise that for 2023 I also have a number of these challendes lined up. Its quite possible that…

Review Secret Project #1: Tress of the Emerald Sea
In March 2022, author Brandon Sanderson announced in quite a theatrical way that he had secretly written five new books. He decided to offer four of those secret projects in a non-traditional way, namely through self-publication that he could hopefully fund through a campaign on Kickstarter. This turned out to be a masterful move, as that campaign became the most…

Fairyloot Adult #7: Spells for Forgetting
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 simply couldn’t resist. September was already the seventh box of this…

Reading Journal December
As in November, I used a piece of paper I found in a bag in the attic for my reading log for December. That piece of paper actually became the entire inspiration for the theme. The paper in question is the green paper with golden dots. A rather Christmassy whole, without pushing it too far. I thought it was ideal…

Read in December 2022
December started out as a difficult reading month. In theory this should be one of the coziest reading months of the year, with blankets and fairy lights, but in practice my mind was busy with so many other things that I had trouble keeping my attention. Once I got into a book and got along with the introduction of the…
