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…

Read in May 2025
May was again a rather lean month in terms of reading. In terms of numbers, I certainly read the fewest amounts of books so far, but thanks to the two huge tomes I managed to finish, it was not the lowest month in terms of number of pages. In May, I read a total of 5 books, which is good…

Illumicrate #31: April 2025
My April Illumicrate box arrived on the first business day of May, which is surprisingly early compared to other months. It’s always a bit of a gamble as to when exactly a box will be delivered, but as long as Illumicrate ships with BPost, hopefully things will continue to go smoothly. Bpost makes good use of alternative delivery options, unlike…

Sun Eater Read Along #2: Howling Dark
The original plan was to finish this second book in the Sun Eater Read Along in March… but that clearly didn’t work out. Luckily, that doesn’t matter at all in this read along. In Andrew’s Discord you can always look back at your own pace in the discussion channels, and there are always people who read along with you or…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #7: February-March-April 2025
In January, the final book of an ongoing series from my Fantasy subscription with The Broken Binding landed on my doormat – which can only mean one thing: a new series announcement has been mader. Those reveals always feel like a little treat, because TBB’s choices are anything but predictable. Of the six series I’ve received so far, three were…

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…
