Reading journal January 2023
The theme of my January reading journal is no coincidence, of course. Since I was behind on setting up my monthly pages, I could use it to draw inspiration from the books I had already read that month. Of course this was Tress of the Emerald Sea. However, instead of going for a green theme, I was inspired by a…

Unboxing Secret Project #1
Aaaaaah! I FINALLY received it! My first box of the Brandon Sanderson kickstarter! Previously you could read my review for this first secret book, but my actual physical copy was a bit delayed. Now this beauty can finally be displayed in my bookcase and I’d love to show you the unboxing! This goes without saying, but below are SPOILERS for…

Genre blanket 2022: September
The genre blanket I wanted to make in 2022 is still not completely finished. It grows slowly but steadily. It is clear that I will still keep me busy for a while in 2023. That is why I have completely reconciled myself with my decision not to start a new one for 2023. Otherwise I would completely overstress myself, which…

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…

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,…

Pink birthday
For the birthday of one of my nieces, I once again resorted to an old favourite pattern, the Catalina dress from The Simple Life Pattern Company. I’ve already made so many versions of this dress, but I never tire of it. Fairly simple to make, with always a stunning and practical result. For these birthday dresses I dived into my…

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…
