    Fairyloot Adult #28: June 2024

    After the delivery issues of April and May, the delivery of my Fairyloot Adult box for June fortunately went smoothly again! The theme for June was Demons & Deities, a theme that at first didn’t really seem to fit with the rather dreamy theme card. The book is namely The God and the Gumiho by Sophie Kim They’ll do anything…

    First Law Along #10: The Wisdom of Crowds

    With this tenth post, the #FirstLawAlong is over! The live show for this book already took place at the beginning of September and I miraculously managed to finish the book before the start of the show. I didn’t manage to write and post my review before then, however, which is why I have now procrastinated on it, since the events…

    Read in July 2024

    In July, my reading started to improve. Not quite back to normal yet, but there is definitely improvement! In July, I read a total of 11 books, good for 3571 pages. The average July book comes to 325 pages/book. The stars fluctuated between 2 and 4, with mainly 3-star books. This brings the average July book to 3.2 stars. In…

    On the go #12

    Like many crafters, I have several half-finished projects lying around. Some I started with great enthusiasm, only to lose interest along the way. Others I am absolutely certain I will finish, but I keep getting sidetracked by newer ideas. This past summer, I dug into a box of those lost/forgotten projects and made a few decisions. Picking Flowers Sweater I…

    First Law Along #9: The Trouble with Peace

    I missed the live show for the ninth and penultimate (!) act in this First Law Along readathon due to other obligations. That’s why I kept putting off writing my review for this book. The live show for the 10th and final book is on September 1st, and although I still have to start reading and therefore have no idea…

    The Fitzalong #3: Assassin’s Quest

    Robin Hobb is a much-loved fantasy author and one I have long wanted to read, but also one I find extremely intimidating. A readathon is something that often activates me, so I was happy to find out about The Fitzalong by Lianne from Literary Diversions. The plan is to read the entire Realm of the Elderlings series, comprised of 16…

    Read in June 2024

    The reading slump that managed to sink its claws into me in May stubbornly clung to me for much of June. At the beginning of the month I kept trying audiobooks, but eventually decided to leave it be and not force it, resulting in 20 days of not reading. Thanks to a fortunate rediscovery on my e-reader, my reading mojo…

    Page & Wick #2: May 2024

    In January I got my very first box from Page & Wick, one where I was really impressed by the quality of the enclosed book. However, because it turned out that the import costs were not included in the purchase price, and I therefore had to pay a hefty sum on top of the already not cheap price of the…

    Fairyloot Adult #26: April 2024

    I experienced some hiccups with my Fairyloot Adult box from April. Although my box was delivered in late April, I quickly discovered that my book had some unsightly damage that I was not willing to accept. Fortunately, Fairyloot is very correct when it comes to these types of issues and they quickly offered to send me a replacement copy. It…

    Read in May 2024

    The first half of May was a boom for my reading pleasure, but then in the second week I delved into a highly rated book for a book club that I just couldn’t find my way into. I felt how the book sucked all the pleasure and enthusiasm out of me, but I still didn’t want to give in. I…
