Next to being a reader I’m also a bit of a book collector. To a point. I don’t always buy the prettiest edition and sometimes I do choose an ebook because I don’t think I’ll want a physical copy. (Sometimes that works out, sometimes that doesn’t.) In general however I do tend to own more books than I can read a year, next to the arcs and all that. Which means there are quite a few unread books…

I missed posting my March reading journal spreads. March was still a hard month and it just kind of slipped my mind. So I decided to just combine it with April this month. March So this is the theme I had for March. Bookshelves. I was going to paint it all but I ran out of time so I used acrylic markers. Which is why there is such a change in colors from the left to the right bookshelf. I think…

Today we have a freebie for Top Ten Tuesday (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). I’ve decided to go with an older topic and that is cover redesigns. Sometimes books get new (paperback) releases or a special edition and that often comes with a new cover. Sometimes that makes us happy, sometimes it doesn’t. It especially doesn’t when the rest of a series only gets released in the new…

Yes hello, April is here! And it is a small month until Wyrd and Wonder starts! So I am here to announce one of our readalongs throughout the month. And this book, or rather books, will be: The Sunbolt Chronicles by Intisar Khanani Since the first book is more of a novella and Memories of Ash isn’t that big, I thought we could fit this in one month. I’m excited to reread Sunbolt with you all.…
Today we have been giving the topic of April Showers for Top Ten Tuesday (as always hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl) which we could fill in how we wanted it to. So I took the easy route. Which ended up not being so easy because I couldn’t find that many amongst my own read books. So the first one and last two are tbr books. The Rain Wild Chronicles | The Ninth Rain | The Cloud…

While we are meant to be talking about books that would have made great movies, I am diverging completely from the topic again for Top Ten Tuesday (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). I feel like we have done this topic before and I have very little inspiration for it. So instead I am sharing a list of books that have something to do with eating or food in the title. I came across some…
We are nearing April and that always brings us the Spring Equinox of the Magical Readathon by Book Roast! As I haven’t been feeling too great I’d like to use this years magical readathon to create some fun but nothing that asks too much of me. Previous years I was very ambitious with that character but that never worked out quite so well. About the Readathon You can find out more about this…
We are nearing Spring and that means that we are going to take a look at what we’d like to read this Spring for Top Ten Tuesday (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl). I looked back on my Winter tbr last Sunday so if you are interested in that, take a look. So again this is a balance of 5 arcs and 5 books of my own tbr.
