Read in 2025: the numbers
After my extensive reflection on the reading goals of 2025, it’s now time to delve even deeper into the hard data. Not to force conclusions, but rather to see whether my feelings about the reading year 2025 are supported or contradicted by the data. Unlike in previous years, this time I’m not throwing everything into one big pile. This post…

Huntrix dolls
If you’ve been following my On the Go posts over the past few months, you know that my creative world has been completely dominated by the Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters. For my niece’s birthday, you already saw the knitted Huntrix sweater, and today it’s the turn of another project from that same fandom corner: the crocheted Huntrix dolls, which…

Looking Back on My Reading Goals of 2025
Over the past few years, I’ve always kicked off the new reading year with one enormous post packed full of statistics, graphs and numbers about my reading habits from the year before. That single monster post combined everything at once: a review of my reading goals, an in-depth analysis of my stats, and the setting of new goals for the…

Huntrix sweater
It took just over three months to finish this sweater, from the very first idea to weaving in the very last thread. And as you’ve read several times in my On the Go updates over the past few months, it was anything but a straightforward process. There was an initial idea that I tackled with great enthusiasm. The stitches flew…

Read in December 2025
Before diving into my in-depth reading statistics for 2025, I first want to take a moment to look back at the books I read in December. A final reading month to close out the year, and one that felt surprisingly well balanced. In total, I read 8 books in December, amounting to 2930 pages. That brings the average December book…

Fairyloot Adult #46: December 2025
The very last book box of 2025 was a bit of a let down for me. Not so much because I was disappointed with the book itself, but mainly because of the carelessness in packing it. Unfortunately, that immediately sets a tone that’s hard to completely ignore. Anyway: FairyLoot does have the honor of closing out the 2025 blogging year,…

Illumicrate #39: December 2025
The last Illumicrate of 2025 was another one I seriously hesitated about, but ultimately gave in to my FOMO. I knew beforehand that the book of the month would be by an author I’d already seriously burned myself with, which significantly reduced the chance that I’d ever spontaneously feel the urge to pick up another one of hers. Anyway, the…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #10: November-December 2025
Those Broken Binding Fantasy series are really coming in fast, I think, haha. Two months have already passed, and voila, another one has been completed. Indeed: this time it was a duology, although I think there are plans to continue writing in this world. But I’m getting ahead of myself. First, let’s get back to basics and show which series…

Illumicrate #38: November 2025
After two Illumicrate boxes that disappointed rather than convinced me, my enthusiasm for the November edition was, frankly, rather low. I hesitated for a long time about whether to pick up this box, especially since this month’s book would be a YA title, a genre I’ve been burning myself with more often than I’ve truly enjoyed lately. But there was…

Fairyloot Adult #45: November 2025
Despite the fact that I’ve been trying to be more intentional with my reading lately — focusing on my reading goals and actively picking up books from past book boxes that I was genuinely excited about at the time — I’ve noticed that I’ve been far less disciplined when it comes to my subscriptions. One of my goals for 2025…
