This month my ARC reading has really been going well! I am catching up to my due books, and in general just enjoying it. Then again, there was one very problematic ARC which I’ve already talked about on Twitter. I won’t be giving it more publicity here and just ignore that even happened though! Instead, I wanted to start out…

Today we will be talking about something different, and definitely not something a lot of people consider to be a part of the life of a bookworm – dyslexia. But it can be! And so today I have a fellow bookworm and book blogger here, to talk about her experience with dyslexia and how she nonetheless pursued her hobby of…

I can’t remember the last time I said this, but last week was fun! Here’s what went on: I finally caught up with my reading. And yet, despite that, I struggle to find reviews to post xD some of the books I read weren’t that good, one was incredibly problematic, as you may have heard on Twitter, and I honestly just don’t…

I was absolutely not lured into requesting a copy of The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djèlí Clark because of pure #coverlove. Lies and slander. What are you even talking about. ……… Well alright. Maybe there was a little bit of that. A teensy bit. But that’s not all there is to this book! There’s a lot that’s wonderful,…

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine was one of those books I kept hearing about, over and over again, all of the previous year. I didn’t bother looking into it took much, in fact, I wasn’t even sure I would ever be reading it. But then people kept saying it was so good, I decided that I might. And during my…

So because last week had a long weekend, we had a shorter working week this time. And yet I still don’t feel like I had a good rest. I feel like I might need a good vacation xD every little problem that comes up with anything at all is just so annoying! It’s like even if we run out of…

The Girl Who Drank the Moon makes many ‘best of’ lists, so I was incredibly excited to finally be able to read it this year. And it was even more exciting, as we decided on a buddy read with Tânia @ My Lovely Secret. It was one of the most structured and fun buddy reads I’ve ever done! So what follows…
Continue Reading→When I first started my journey of following Ewan Pendle on his adventures, I remember giving the first book a half-star “in advance” – because I knew the story would eventually start rolling. Having finished Ewan Pendle and the Castle of Nightmares, I am glad to say that I knew what I was saying! The story indeed got rolling – so…

Can you believe I scheduled nearly all posts for March yesterday? I can’t even believe it. I haven’t had a full scheduled month for… I don’t know, a half a year at the least?! I’m so happy right now! Anyway, this is due to no other than a long weekend, because we’ve got a free Monday next week – it’s…

To all my ladies – happy International Women’s Day! And what a post I have for you on this day. Today, I welcome David and Morgan, the founders of WriterWriter, to talk about prejudice and inequality in fiction, primarily in the scifi and fantasy genres and how it affects the industry and the end result – the fiction that eventually…

The Forty Rules of Love has been on my wish list for a long time, and I wish I had got to it sooner. I instantly fell in love with it! Although, when I think about it, maybe it’s best to read books when you’ve forgotten even the blurb. This is how I picked up the forty Rules of Love…

So as my post title suggests, I should really be doing a monthly wrap-up, but hey, my blog – my rules (I have been saying that quite a lot lately, I feel xD) So I’m just doing a regular Sunday post! Why? Because February kind of wasn’t the most awesome reading month. Yeah, I did read some really good books, but overall…

When I was offered The Vela as ad advance review copy, I was thrilled – because look at the author list! Several new ones I have not read yet are in there too, but if you know what has been going on in the world of scifi for the past two or three years, you’ll recognize the names of Becky…

Uh… Yeah, so. I sort of let myself go last month. I’ve been struggling with sort of a reading slump, sort of not… Which somehow caused me to haul like 15 books in one big spree? And yes, that’s ONLY the review copies. Oh gosh, I really, really… really don’t know what I was thinking! I guess I can’t do…

This week then has been one hell of a ride! A pretty exciting and incredibly productive week, all in all, but what a ride indeed. Let me just share it in bullets, cause everyone likes that best anyway! super busy work-wise: so many overtime days but strangely motivating! Me and boss have been kicking it in light of all the…

It’s that time of the month again – time to meet our newest batch of book bloggers! I am always so happy to introduce yet another bunch of new people, and it seems we’re never short of them. I really hope a lot of these people I introduce today will stay on in the community for years and years to…

The Spec Set is not your typical YA. It’s actually not your typical book at all – I’m not sure I can even place it! It’s a unique bird, a true genre bender. But if I had to find a couple of words to characterize The Spec Set, I would say… Fast, surprising… Explosive. Both literally and figuratively! It turned…

Oh, I’ve been a a bad book blogger this week. Why, you ask me? Well… 😃 I went on NetGalley. Again and again. How many books, you say? 6 x.x As if that’s not enough, I also went on Edelweiss. Yes, how many indeed? 4 x.x (You ask how. I just get the ‘Read now’ titles xD nobody approves internationals, so I…

Oh, how I loved this wonderful adventure! The Secret of Dinswood is just the kind of book I wish I had read more of when I was actually in my middle grade years. There’s just something empowering about a bunch of kids solving mysteries and riddles, and potentially getting themselves in trouble, skulking around dark caves and castle hallways! Even…

I’ve noticed that when it comes to books for review, I often enjoy nonfiction the most – and Heavy Flow by Amanda Laird was no exception. I think this is an absolute MUST READ for every woman (in this case, I mean biologically). There are so many things we don’t talk about that make up the experience of being a…
