How good are you with finishing a series? My husband would say I’m the best. At least, when it concerns Netflix series. I can binge all day long if the series is captivating enough. I’m not that good when it comes to book series. I think the series I read as soon as the new

Book tour: Rise of Gaia by Kristin Ward
I read Rise of Gaia by Kristin Ward for a book tour hosted by The Write Reads. Dave provided a free copy of the book for an honest review and I couldn’t be more excited. You might remember I reviewed another of Kristin’s books last year and it didn’t click. But this one very much
Reading Challenge and BBNYA
Last year I set an ambitious reading goal on Goodreads of 45 books, one more than I read the year before. I forgot, however, that I read less when I write. I managed to read around 40 books, but not enough to complete my goal. That’s why I want to do something completely different this
Best Reads Of 2019
This is probably one of the hardest posts to write every year. Which books are the best? My selection is always of what I’ve read this year, regardless of when it’s published. Don’t expect to see many new releases on here since I still have a huge backlog of books to get through. I failed
2019 Gift Guide
This year’s gift guide is much shorter than last year’s since I’m not doing Blogmas this year. So it’s just a small list of gifts for stationery and book lovers. If you want more ideas, you might want to check out last year’s Blogmas overview, or the gift guide from two years ago. For the
On My Mind: Favourite Books Without 5 Stars
Someone on Twitter asked me for my favourite books and I, like most other readers, was left speechless. Which ones were my favourite books? I had to check my Goodreads ‘Favourite’ shelf as a reminder. I noticed that not every book I love love loved has five stars. Why is that? Can you absolutely love
Review: Mermaids by R.J. Furness
After last month’s book tour of Shadows, I was curious about the follow up. The author was kind enough to share Mermaids and Dragons. I finished Mermaids already, but you can expect a review for Dragons soon. Sapphire follows her friend Ben and his sister to a new world, one were magic exists. She meets
5 Spooky Things To Get You In A Creepy Mood
The Diviners by Libba Bray Book The Diviners is a great occult thriller set in the roaring twenties of the previous century. It’s the time of flappers, beaded dresses, and secret speakeasies. Evie, the main character, has a gift and uses it to help her uncle solve a series of brutal crimes. I expected it
My favourite Witchy Books
October, the month of spooky reads. I don’t do well with horror and only read it when a book really interests me. But I have to be in the mood. So instead of talking about super scary reads, I want to highlight my favourite witchy books. All of the include witches, but none of them
DNF: Bright Hair About The Bone by Barbara Cleverly
This might be the only post I’ll do on a book I didn’t finish, but I want to talk about why I stopped reading. Bright Hair About The Bone by Barbara Cleverly is the second book in a series and falls in the historical mystery genre. Not a genre I’ll pick up often, but I’ve
