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

The Broken Binding Sci-Fi Sub #3: April 2025
When The Broken Binding announced their next Sci-Fi Sub in February, there was quite a stir. Instead of a set of three books, it would now be a single book. Not a problem in itself, if it weren’t for the fact that the “skip policy” remained the same: anyone who skipped this book was not allowed to miss any more…

Read in June 2025
June was an excellent reading month! At the beginning of the month, I took some time to review my reading goals and their current status. Based on that, I set a clear TBR, with the aim of keeping my reading statistics for the six months up to par. That focused approach turned out to pay off, because I read a…

Illumicrate #32: May 2025
Before I could even get my Illumicrate box from the delivery locker, a friend had already told me that this box was really worth it. I was especially looking forward to the book of the month, because yes, I had already spoiled myself before I had the box shipped. An attempt to make my purchases a little more consciously… although…

Fairyloot Adult #39: May 2025
I was incredibly curious about May’s FairyLoot box. Ever since the theme announcement back in early April, any lingering doubts about what the featured book might be completely disappeared. It became crystal clear which title it would be and I couldn’t be more excited. It was the latest release by an author whose writing style and storytelling I absolutely fell…
