Read in September 2025
In September, I decided to focus primarily on finishing and catching up on series. I’d received several sequels in the preceding weeks, and instead of putting them off until I’d have to reread the entire series, as so often happens, I prioritised them this time. And with success: I finished not one, not two, but three series, caught up on…

Fairyloot Adult #43: September 2025
I debated for quite a while whether to skip FairyLoot’s September edition. Even before the theme was announced, I had already seen several people guessing which book it might be. FairyLoot often drops subtle hints, and the community is always quick to decode them. This time, everyone seemed to agree. The book that almost everyone predicted (SPOILER: and which indeed…

Page & Wick #9: July 2025
My Page & Wick box for July was heavily delayed. And this time it wasn’t the fault of the couriers, but due to problems at Page & Wick themselves. I didn’t follow the updates all that closely, but apparently there were issues with the printers, followed by a failed quality check, which in the end resulted in a delay of…

Read in August 2025
August turned out to be another rather modest reading month, with even fewer finished books than in July. Still, I ended up with a slightly higher page count. I wrapped up the hefty sci-fi I mentioned back in July and filled the rest of the month with some lighter picks, such as a fantasy romance by a beloved author and…

Fairyloot Adult #42: August 2025
No way I was going to skip the FairyLoot Adult box for August. Even before the theme was officially announced, everyone basically knew which book would be included. We’re talking about a hugely popular author, one FairyLoot clearly loves, and one with a brand-new release in August. Since I also loved the one book I’ve already read by this author,…

Illumicrate #35: August 2025
At the end of August, I already received the Illumicrate box for the month. It almost felt too soon, as I thought I had only just unpacked the July box. But since the July edition turned out to be such a gem, I was, of course, absolutely thrilled to open this one. I was extremely curious to see whether Illumicrate…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #8: May-June-July 2025
Three months have flown by once again, which means I’ve received another complete fantasy trilogy in my The Broken Binding subscription. Even before I had received the second book of the previous series, The Broken Binding had already revealed what their series for May, June, and July would be. The next trilogy comes from a veteran in the field: Raymond…

Illumicrate #34: July 2025
At the beginning of June, Illumicrate announced the theme for their July box. They immediately revealed that the book of the month would be an adult romantasy debut. To be honest, as soon as I know that Illumicrate’s pick of the month is an adult title, I rarely even consider skipping the box. Lately I’ve been really impressed with the…

Fairyloot Adult #41: July 2025
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
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…
