The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #6: October 2024 – January 2025
In January I received another final book in a series via my Fantasy subscription from The Broken Binding. The fact that I have added yet another completely unread series to my bookshelves, I will completely ignore. Instead, I will focus solely on how beautiful they are! What would become my sixth series in this subscription, was announced in August of…

Sun Eater Read Along #1: Empire of Silence
As you may have read before, I plan on participating in several book clubs this year, including this one hosted by Andrew Watson of the YouTube channel @the_fools_tale. The club – aptly named “Order of Fools” – consists primarily of discussion forums on his Discord, with the goal of reading a voted book together each month. Previously, each book was…

Read in January 2025
In January, I already made a dent in my intention to read more thick books that intimidate me, with two books of over 600 pages, one of which I finished completely and another that will not be finished until (hopefully) next month. But the biggest drivers for choosing my reading material in the first half of the month were the…

Fairyloot Adult #36: January 2025
My first bookbox book for 2025 is this one from my Fairyloot Adult subscription, which was already delivered halfway through the month. The theme of this box is Rift of Realms with a book for readers who enjoy dangerous alliances, fickle gods, and treacherous attractions.

Reading in 2025: Planned Readathons and Book Clubs
There is a world of new vocabulary to be found online to make reading a more social activity. I discovered a few years ago that I am up for a reading challenge, and since then the so-called readathons with accompanying prompts have become a permanent fixture in my reading behaviour. I have also tried the occasional readalong and buddy read…

Read in 2024: Most memorable
You will not have missed the fact that I have read quite a bit in 2024. If I put all the covers of the books I started reading in 2024 – and most of which I also finished – next to each other, it really is a wall of books. On the Flemish side of this blog, I already highlighted…

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…

Fairyloot Adult #35: December 2024
Yes, the last overdue book box unboxing! Haha, maybe a bit stupid to admit, but I’m so glad I finally made time for posting all these, because this was something that kept taking up space in my head. Last up is this Fairyloot Adult box, which was delivered a week before Christmas, again by Colis Privé, who doesn’t even bother…

Illumicrate #28: December 2024
Time for book 6 of the 7 backlog bookboxes, and this one isn’t really that backlogged, considering I received it not that long ago. Well, a month ago, but considering the period, it is understandable that updating about this box wasn’t my priority 😉 . I am talking about the Illumicrate box from December, as you could already deduce from…

Page & Wick #5: November 2024
Back today with the catch-up of my overdue book boxes. We are at number 5 of the 7 now! This time for the third and last time an overdue Page & Wick, one that I had chosen very consciously, because the predicted author is one that I really like to read! I am talking about the November box with the…
