    2023 TBR: readathon plans

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…

    Read in September 2024

    September was the month for the Autumn equinox in the Magical Readathon. In previous years, the fall semester took place in August, but due to circumstances it was moved forward a month. Although I didn’t post anything about it here, I still participated and with success! In September I read a total of 11 books, good for 3571 pages. The…

    Read in April 2024

    I’m currently battling a fairly persistent reading slump, which is partly to blame for me not updating on my reviews here.

    Reading journal April 2023

    April was the month of the magical readathon and as always, this also features prominently in my reading journal. This time, instead of doing my monthly spread first, I decided to do a sort of recap of my journey in the readathon so far. The plan is that I will make a similar page at the very front for my…

    Read in May 2023

    May was a bit of a colourless reading month. I was not very lucky with the books I chose. Even though I read a few good books, the feeling of reluctance and antipathy prevailed. In total, I read 8 books in May, amounting to 2494 pages, significantly less than any previous month of this year. The average May book comes…
