    Faith Fall Along #1: Malice

    I haven’t quite decided in which readathons and bookclubs I want to participate this year, and I’ve been on the fence about whether or not to join this new readalong from Becca’s Catch-up Bookclub ever since it was announced. After we completed the #firstlawalong, where we read all the books in Joe Abercombie’s First Law World in August last year…

    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.…

    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…

    Review: Harbinger of Justice by Andrew Watson

    It’s no secret that I watch a lot of BookTube. I love watching videos where people talk about books, whether it’s lists or recommendations or reviews. I just like to see people get excited about books. One of those people is Andrew Watson, whose channel I’ve been following for a while and where I’m also a member of his Discord…

    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 August 2024

    Almost the end of October and I still have to tell you about the books I read in August. Tsksk! Contrary to my usual practice, there weren’t that many. In August I read a total of 5 books, good for 2034 pages. The average August book comes to 407 pages/book. In August I did find a new favorite book and…

    First Law Along #10: The Wisdom of Crowds

    With this tenth post, the #FirstLawAlong is over! The live show for this book already took place at the beginning of September and I miraculously managed to finish the book before the start of the show. I didn’t manage to write and post my review before then, however, which is why I have now procrastinated on it, since the events…

The average July book comes to 325 pages/book. The stars fluctuated between 2 and 4, with mainly 3-star books. This brings the average July book to 3.2 stars. In…

    First Law Along #9: The Trouble with Peace

    I missed the live show for the ninth and penultimate (!) act in this First Law Along readathon due to other obligations. That’s why I kept putting off writing my review for this book. The live show for the 10th and final book is on September 1st, and although I still have to start reading and therefore have no idea…
