    Moselle camping: beautiful but wet

    / 24 August 2025 / No Comments

    After my K-pop trip to Amsterdam, I had two more summer trips planned. The first was a camping trip to the Moselle River. A beautiful region, full of greenery, vineyards, and castles along the meandering water. Only… we saw a little too much water this holiday for my liking. It all started off so well. We pitched the tents under…

    Fairyloot Adult #41: July 2025

    / 21 August 2025 / No Comments

    The theme for the July FairyLoot Adult box was revealed in early June, and to be honest, it didn’t immediately grab me. I did think the announcement illustration was stunning, but the theme itself left me a bit indifferent. For a brief moment, I even considered skipping this box. But, well… you know me by now, right? Curiosity always wins.…

    Read in July 2025

    / 17 August 2025

    Summer used to mean more reading time for me, but in recent years, that pattern seems to have reversed. Which makes sense: I’m away from home more often, doing more social things and I’m ABSOLUTELY not sad about that, haha. Still, that made July a slightly quieter reading month. Not so much in the number of books read, but in…

    The Broken Binding Sci-Fi Sub #4: June 2025

    / 14 August 2025

    Because the April edition of The Broken Binding’s Sci-Fi Sub contained only a single book instead of a series of two or more, the announcement for the next box set followed quite quickly. To my slight surprise, it turned out to be a standalone this time as well. I found this a bit annoying with the previous announcement, because their…

    Faith Fall Along #4: Wrath

    / 9 August 2025

    Although I finished this fourth and final installment in The Faithful and the Fallen well in time for the #FaithFallAlong liveshow hosted by Becca’s Catch-up Bookclub, I already knew I wouldn’t be able to join the live discussion because I was travelling at the time. Maybe that’s why I ended up postponing writing this review for so long. Something I’m…

    Illumicrate #33: June 2025

    / 6 August 2025

    I hesitated for a long time about the June Illumicrate box. When the announcement said it was a Young Adult book, my first instinct was to skip it. Lately, that genre has been less and less appealing to me. But when I saw which fandoms would be represented in the box, I started to have second thoughts. And once I…

    Fairyloot Adult #40: June 2025

    / 30 July 2025

    At the beginning of May, Fairyloot revealed the theme for their June book, and based solely on the illustration, I could already guess which book it was, because it’s one I was really curious about. I didn’t doubt Fairyloot would be publishing an edition, but I was very happy that it would be included in my subscription and I wouldn’t…

    The Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag 2025

    / 26 July 2025

    For years now, every July I’ve seen one BookTuber after another tackle the famous Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag, originally created by @EarlGreyBooks. It’s the perfect way to reflect on what you’ve read so far, what’s still on your TBR, and which books have stuck with you, whether in a good or… not-so-good way. Recently, I also came across written…

    Page & Wick #8: May 2025

    / 23 July 2025

    My May box of Page & Wick arrived in early June. This time, it wasn’t a brand-new release, but a book that had been on my radar for a while – which made it even more appealing to buy. The monthly theme was Bones of the Forgotten, which immediately created a nice dark and epic atmosphere. And that perfectly matched…
