Reading journal July 2023
A while ago I bought some sticker sheets with a constellation theme. I really liked the colours and the figures were cute, so I wanted to use it in a reading journal theme. And in July I did just that! The heavenly theme really came together when I found this beautiful picture on Pinterest. Unfortunately it doesn’t say who made…

Read in July 2023
July also remained a bit of a lukewarm reading month. On the one hand, I really had the desire to dive into a book, but on the other hand, it was very difficult for me to get into any of the books I selected. In the end, I still finished 9 books in July, amounting to 3213 pages. The average…

Reading journal June 2023
For my June reading journal theme, I opted for a softer, more romantic style, again inspired by some images from Pinterest. Or no, actually, the idea mainly came about while I was browsing for some fonts I could imitate by hand. This was when I came across one incorporating flowers. From this idea, the whole layout came together, using the…

Reading journal May 2023
Yes, if I’m a little behind with onething, then it’s easy to fall behind with something else, such as my reading journal. Although I did finish my title page in time for May, writing the reviews took a bit longer than usual, mainly because I wasn’t really super enthusiastic about a number of the books read. But the title page…

Read in June 2023
Phew, we’re already August, but I still haven’t written about the books I read in June! To be honest, I’ve neglected writing reviews lately and once I fall behind, it’s hard to catch back up, given that time doesn’t stand still, of course. But also, June was a really bad reading month and most of my notes on the books…

Reading journal April 2023
April was the month of the magical readathon and as always, this also features prominently in my reading journal. This time, instead of doing my monthly spread first, I decided to do a sort of recap of my journey in the readathon so far. The plan is that I will make a similar page at the very front for my…

Read in May 2023
May was a bit of a colourless reading month. I was not very lucky with the books I chose. Even though I read a few good books, the feeling of reluctance and antipathy prevailed. In total, I read 8 books in May, amounting to 2494 pages, significantly less than any previous month of this year. The average May book comes…

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…
