Read in April 2023
April was Magical Readathon month, so this usually means a lot of books are being finished. Even though I did read quite a bit more in april, both in number of books as pages, compared to previous months, I didn’t go too overboard. In total I read 13 books, amounting to 4425 pages. The average April book comes to 340…

First Law Along #3: Last Argument of Kings
After finishing Before They Are Hanged I just couldn’t wait to continue with this series. According to the schedule of the First Law Along readathon the third book is to be read by the end of June, but I already finished it in April. Since this is the third book of the first First Law trilogie, it’s quite possible that…

Fairyloot Adult #11: The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
Originally, Fairyloot’s focus was on Young-Adult Fantasy books, but that changed in 2022 with the launch of their Adult Fantasy Book-Only subscription. As a subscriber to their normal YA subscription, I was given priority to sign up for this new service and as a book and fantasy enthusiast, I couldn’t resist. The first theme for 2023 was Sinister Secrets and…

First Law Along #2: Before They Are Hanged
Tonight is the live show for the second book in the First Law Along readathon. If you don’t know what this is, I talked about this earlier in my Readathons for 2023 post and also in the first update made for this readathon, but in short the plan for this readathon is to read one book from Joe Abercrombie‘s First…

Review Secret Project #2: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England
In March 2022, author Brandon Sanderson announced that he had secretly written five additional books. He decided to offer four of those Secret Projects in a non-traditional way, namely through self-publishing funded by the most successful Kickstarter campaign ever. Since Brandon Sanderson is one of my favourite fantasy authors, I decided to also support this campaign and get my hands…

Reading journal March 2023
Although March was a drizzly and cold month this year, with few actual spring-like days, I still wanted to do something cheerful and full of flowers for my reading journal. Just like in February, I used elements from a calendar of last year. Eventually I only used one cut-out from the calendar, namely the patterned paper with pink/orange flowers. This…

Read in March 2023
For March, I initially had big reading plans. I wanted to continue or even finish a number of series I’m in the middle of and I had more or less committed myself to starting a new series as a buddy read. However, I quickly had to admit that I bit off more than I could chew. The series I wanted…

Reading journal February 2023
My reading journal for February got an accidental Beauty and the Beast theme. I started with a picture I had printed a long time ago of a lady in a beautiful red dress and a beautifully written font of “Februari” combined with a red-grey pattern, which I cut out of a calendar of last year. Those two elements together immediately…
