As a subscriber to their regular YA subscription, I was given priority to sign up for this new service, and as a book and fantasy enthusiast, I couldn’t resist. At the beginning of November I received the book…

Reading journal January 2023
The theme of my January reading journal is no coincidence, of course. Since I was behind on setting up my monthly pages, I could use it to draw inspiration from the books I had already read that month. Of course this was Tress of the Emerald Sea. However, instead of going for a green theme, I was inspired by a…

First Law Along #1: The Blade Itself

The new readalong for 2023 and the first half of 2024 is for all of author Joe Abbercrombie’s books in his…

Read in January 2023
The first month of the year and immediately a bull’s eye in terms of the books read. I started with a book that was very hyped, thanks to the Kickstarter, which I also loved and ended with a a fairly decent read. In between I read a number of nice to great books. Only one book was so and so,…

Review Secret Project #1: Tress of the Emerald Sea
In March 2022, author Brandon Sanderson announced in quite a theatrical way that he had secretly written five new books. He decided to offer four of those secret projects in a non-traditional way, namely through self-publication that he could hopefully fund through a campaign on Kickstarter. This turned out to be a masterful move, as that campaign became the most…

Read in December 2022
December started out as a difficult reading month. In theory this should be one of the coziest reading months of the year, with blankets and fairy lights, but in practice my mind was busy with so many other things that I had trouble keeping my attention. Once I got into a book and got along with the introduction of the…

Read in November 2022
November was a busy month and therefore a rather fractured reading month, but I still managed to read quite a bit. Not so much the books I had put on my TBR for the month, or at least not all of them. I did finished my 100th book of the year and completed a new favourite series. In total I…
