I joined the Ready Player Read(athon) hosted on the SFF Oasis Discord and I wanted to see if I could get a blackout. Some banter in the channels also motivated me to go for it, so I switched out books to make it easier. Shorter books, more novellas, three graphic novels (the max allowed). I Read More

Ready Player Read(athon)
I joined the SFF Oasis a while ago after a friend, Jaedia, dragged me in. It’s a great Discord community with readers and authors who share a love for the SFF genre. It’s a fun mix of people who are all supportive to each other’s endeavours and chosen paths. Benny, the server owner, and the Read More
Reading Challenge: r/Fantasy Bingo 2022
It’s that time of the year again, a new bingo will go up on the fantasy subreddit! After last year’s success, I want to take part in it again. There are 25 squares again and I’ll add my own limitations to the books I’m going to read. I want to prioritise the books I already Read More
r/Fantasy Bingo Complete!
Last year, I decided to join in with the r/Fantasy bingo, and now I’ve finally completed it. For 25 prompts, it took me a long time since most of the books I read overlapped with prompts and I wasn’t allowed to use a book by the same author. I used Storygraph to keep track of Read More
Reading Outside Your Comfort Zone
Most of us stick to what we know and love, but to grow as a person, we have to step outside of our comfort zone. We have to explore the regions of discomfort to understand ourselves and the world a little more. Reading outside of your comfort is an easy and safe way to explore Read More
r/Fantasy Bingo – July update
It’s been a few months since r/Fantay’s bingo started and some people have already finished the card. I’ve only finished ten squares but have a few books that can still fill up more squares. I’m really enjoying myself and hope to get a few more books off my TBR this way since the majority of Read More
Reading Challenge: r/Fantasy Bingo 2021
I’ve been lurking on the Fantasy subreddit for a while now and I want to participate more. One of the community events is the yearly r/fantasy bingo, and I want to participate this year. I didn’t know they release the new bingo on April first, but when it dropped, I ultimately fell for the April Read More
Reading Challenge 2021
2020 was supposed to be the year of the chonk, but 2020 had different plans. While I did read a record number of books (100+?!), it wasn’t really a chonky year. So I want to take on the challenge again. I don’t mind the slimmer books I read last year. Heck, it was a year Read More
Why I Read Widely
Reading outside of your comfort zone can open up doors you never knew existed. You might find something else you like, or experience something new. Read More
Reading Challenge 2019
I made this small reading challenge for 2019. It’s only 12 books so readers and non-readers can do it without feeling intimidated. If twelve books still seem like a bit much, try combining the challenges, like reading a book by an author of Asian descent with the same initials. Or a non-fiction book about food. Read More
