    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…

    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,…

    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.

    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…

    At the end of last year, Fairyloot announced that they were going to launch a new product in March 2022, namely the Adult Fantasy Book-Only subscription. While their standard subscription focuses on Young-Adult fantasy with extra goodies, this subscription would only contain fantasy books intended for an adult audience. That box would then contain only a book, with no extras.…
