Fairyloot Adult #34: November 2024
My second overdue book box is this one from my Fairyloot Adult subscription, namely the November box. I received this one in the penultimate week of November. The theme of the month was Fortunes Found with a book that would be perfect for readers of cozy fantasy who enjoy found family, friendship, and self-discovery. This book was The Teller of…

Page & Wick #3: July 2024
Despite my intention to catch up on my missing unboxings over the Christmas break, I found other things to do and my blog got neglected once again. Since I can’t help but be a completionist, it doesn’t really feel right to leave it as is, so I decided to upload the missing book boxes anyway, including the ones I received…

Read in December 2024
I finished November with 89 books on the counter – 94 if I count the DNFs – so I suspected that I would not reach my reading goal of 100 books this year. But a combination of fast audiobooks, shorter stories and cozy devourable books proved me wrong! I finished December with 13 books, good for 3718 pages. The average…

Read in November 2024
In December I always have all sorts of plans for the blog, to get everything in order so that I can start the new year with a clean slate. But just like every year I have all sorts of other plans, besides the fact that it is already a busy month, which makes time run away from me a bit.…

Illumicrate #26: October 2024
My October Illumicrate was delivered in the first week of November at a parcel point. This month I had contemplated skipping, because the teaser indicated that it would be a YA crossover book. But then I read the rest of the teaser and couldn’t skip. The theme for October was Colours of Magic, about how everything on earth and in…

Fairyloot Adult #32: October 2024
I’m almost caught up on my backlog of subscriptions! As I write this, I still owe you two Fairyloots and Illumicrates each, 2 for October and 2 for November. The first of these I received was the Fairyloot adult for October, delivered on the afternoon of the 22nd of that month. The problem was that I wasn’t home at all…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #5: July-August-September 2024
At the end of May, before the end of the previous trilogy, The Broken Binding announced the next series for their Fantasy subscription that would cover the months of July, August and September. This was The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee, a series I haven’t read yet, but that I obviously know, given its popularity. The Kaul family is…

Illumicrate #25: September 2024
Ten days after the Fairyloot, my September Illumicrate arrived with the mailman. This was going to be a fandom neutral box in a theme I’ve always been drawn to, but which often leaves me wanting in books. The theme was Darker Academia, about how within the hallowed halls of knowledge, something dark and restless can lurk. Item #1 was a…

Fairyloot Adult #31: September 2024
Never before have I received my Fairyloot Adult so early in the month, not even ten days after I paid for it! It was clearly ready in their warehouse very early. Does this mean it will be a less developed edition than what we are used to? Of course not! The theme for September was Power Struggles and promised a…

Read in October 2024
In October, Becca from Becca and The Books organized another round of Spookoplathon. Although I initially played my game very enthusiastically behind the scenes, resulting in a dedicated TBR, I quickly lost track of it and mostly read I felt like. In the end, I finished October with 5 books, good for 2113 pages. The average October book comes to…
