Magical Readathon Year 3: Spring Equinox TBR (April)
April is already very close by and so it is again time for the Magical Readathon! It’s the spring equinox and all the students of the magical Academy of Orilium are expected back at school to resume their classes. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Bookroast, the creator of this readathon, eplains the entire concept from A to…

On the go #11
My making frenzy seems to have subsided somewhat last month, but I am very happy that I still regularly knit, crochet and sew! I worked on two ongoing projects, completed a request and started a new project. I haven’t continued with the embroidery/hat project from the last updated unfortunately. It will probably take me some time to work up the…

Fairyloot Adult #24: February 2024
Just about halfway through February I received my Adult Fairyloot of that month. For this subscription service, this timing is fairly standard (if nothing goes wrong with customs of course), even almost to the early side. The theme for February was Vikings and here too the speculation about the possible book was quite unanymous. Also take a look at this…

Book unhaul #3
In 2024 I want to make a bigger effort to to find books that I no longer care about a new home. At the end of 2023 I already made a first move by unhauling a set to a little free library and earlier this year I tried out Vinted for the first time. In the meantime, it hasn’t been…

Fairyloot Adult #23: January 2024
As I indicated earlier, from now on I will start posting regular unboxings of my Fairyloot Adult book subscription again, starting with this first book for 2024. January’s theme was Star Chosen and based on the illustration for the theme I was pretty sure which book this would be. It had appeared on many high expectation lists at the end…

Hat experiment
In my last On the go post, I talked about finding a hat project that I started over a year ago, but had completely forgotten about. At the time I was busy playing with my new https://charami.com/tag/addi-express-en/ (I really need to get back to that again soon) and I had made the base for a hat for myself, with colours…

Read in February 2024
February was a bit of an eclectic reading month. I haven’t quite got my reading mojo back yet, which doesn’t mean that I don’t read a lot, but rather that I quickly get distracted by my thoughts or (worse) my phone while reading. I didn’t read everything I had planned to read in February, but I did manage to finish…

What about the Fairyloot Adult books?
In May 2023, I posted my 11th post about my subscription to the Fairyloot Adult Fantasy Book-Only subscription. I only posted about this subscription when I had actually read the book in question and thus combined the unboxing with my review. I was a little behind on reading the received books, but all in all I managed to systematically read…

Page & Wick #1: January 2024
I have the annoying habit where whenever I learn about a new type of book box subscription, I immediately sign up for their waiting list (because there is almost always one). But then there will of course come a time when my place on the waiting list has progressed so far that I will receive an invitation to actually take…

BEElated Birthday present
A while ago, YouTube recommended watching Complicated Knots‘ channel. Sh’s an Australian crocheter, mainly specialized in amigurumi. I followed YouTube’s recommendation and quickly became addicted to her beautifully conceived and executed videos. She really makes incredibly nice things in a very intuitive way. I also quickly became jealous of her ability to effortlessly transform an idea into a crochet pattern.…
