Faith Fall Along #3: Ruin
The third book of the #FaithFallAlong by Becca’s Catch-up Bookclub was scheduled for March-April with the original live show on May 11th, but due to Mother’s Day it was eventually moved to May 18th, so I couldn’t experience it live. I did finish the book in time, but it took a while before I could organize my thoughts and write…

Page & Wick #7: March 2025
I actually received this Page & Wick box over a month ago, but the box itself was delayed to begin with. Apparently, the UK has been dealing with ongoing printing issues, which means a lot of book boxes are arriving later than planned. No big deal – it’s not like I was out of reading material, right? 😉 The theme…

Read in April 2025
April really was a lackluster reading month. I don’t want to call it a reading slump, because I read a fair bit, but nothing really hit right. I never felt compelled to read and was often disappointed in the stories I read. Eventually, I did read a total of 10 books in April, good for 3236 pages. The average April…

Fairyloot Adult #39: April 2025
With Fairyloot, it’s never entirely certain when a box will be delivered in the month. Because the March box wasn’t delivered until the end of the month, it felt like the April box was super early, even though it was already halfway through the month when it showed up. Another reason why I was surprised to see this box already,…

Illumicrate #30: March 2025
I skipped February’s Illumicrate. This is the first time I’ve ever made and followed through on this decision! Even before I knew what the book would be that month, I had already figured out that I probably wouldn’t be interested in it, based on the hints at the theme reveal. Later, I also learned about a lot of controversy surrounding…

Read in March 2025
In terms of reading, March was a pretty good month. I finished a total of 9 books, good for 3182 pages. The average March book comes to 354 pages/book. Still, in terms of reading pleasure, it was also a month of highs and lows, with ratings that fluctuated between 2 and 4 stars, with the 4 stars fortunately prevailing. On…

Fairyloot Adult #38: march 2025
I hesitated for a long time whether or not to buy the Fairyloot Adult box of March. The guesses and predictions for the book of the month were unanimous: it would be a book from an author I’ve not had a good experience before. Admittedly, I have only given this author a single chance, so was it fair to write…

Review: The Black Mantle by Andrew Watson
I’ve been following Andrew Watson’s YouTube channel for some time now, and I’m also a member of his Discord and Patreon. His debut novel, Harbinger of Justice, was released in 2023, and I read it last year—I found it incredibly gripping and suspenseful. So naturally, I was very excited for the sequel. When The Black Mantle came out in February,…

Page & Wick #6: January 2025
The shipping of my Page & Wick box for the month of January was delayed considerably due to new EU regulations on safety. It finally arrived, thankfully without any problems at the border, on March 18th. The theme of the month was What Binds Us and without even guessing what the book for that theme would be, I knew I…

Fairyloot Adult #37: February 2025
For a very, very brief moment, I considered skipping my February Fairyloot box – just like the one from Illumicrate. The theme of the month sounded interesting and the guesses about what the book might be didn’t sound bad either, but I didn’t exactly feel all that excited either. But because I was so madly in love with the January…
