Best Reads of 2022 (so far)
It’s that time of the year again: a mid-year update on my reading! I thought I wouldn’t read a lot this first half of the year because of health reasons. There was one month where I didn’t read a lot but I made up for that in the last two months. Broadening my reading experience Read More
Review: Voice of War by Zack Argyle
This book is a hard one for me to review for multiple reasons. I read this as part of the BBNYA competition so I felt obligated to finish it. I might have stopped reading after the first chapter if I didn’t. Before I read it, I saw the book on a lot of ‘best fantasy’ Read More

You immediately get Cinderella vibes with two cousins, and not one, but two aunties. Let’s also throw in some princess Read More
Trying Audiobooks Again
My experiences with audiobooks haven’t been great, but when I decided to get eye surgery, I knew I wanted to give it another try. The doctor said I’d probably be able to see right away, although a bit blurry, I always expect the worst, including a longer recovery time because my body is weird. How Read More
