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…

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…

Faith Fall Along #2: Valour
The second book of the #FaithFallAlong by Becca’s Catch-up Bookclub was scheduled for January-February with a live show the first Sunday in March. After finishing the first book, I was eager to dive into the sequel. Would it live up to expectations? Due to problems with my eyes, I ended up reading the book as a mix of physically reading…

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…

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…

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…

First Law Along #10: The Wisdom of Crowds
With this tenth post, the #FirstLawAlong is over! The live show for this book already took place at the beginning of September and I miraculously managed to finish the book before the start of the show. I didn’t manage to write and post my review before then, however, which is why I have now procrastinated on it, since the events…

First Law Along #9: The Trouble with Peace
I missed the live show for the ninth and penultimate (!) act in this First Law Along readathon due to other obligations. That’s why I kept putting off writing my review for this book. The live show for the 10th and final book is on September 1st, and although I still have to start reading and therefore have no idea…

The Fitzalong #3: Assassin’s Quest
Robin Hobb is a much-loved fantasy author and one I have long wanted to read, but also one I find extremely intimidating. A readathon is something that often activates me, so I was happy to find out about The Fitzalong by Lianne from Literary Diversions. The plan is to read the entire Realm of the Elderlings series, comprised of 16…
