House of Earth and Blood – Spoiler Free Review

Happy Saturday everyone! I finished my reread of House of Earth and blood at like 3am Friday night, and since I never reviewed it the first time I read it, I thought I’d do it now. So I was going to read a few chapters on my e-reader before I went to bed yesterday. I had a little less than 3 hours left of reading time, so I thought I would actually leave it at a couple of chapters. Haha, I was wrong. Three hours later and I had finished it. And I think I may have cried harder this…

Quiz time – How similar are our reading tastes?

Happy Thursday book friends! I was taking a stroll through Google, trying to find new bookish topics, and someone recommended making a quiz. There are quite some fun quiz makers out there, but for this one I used TryInteract. And even I found it easy! Anyway, the very first quiz I wanted to make is a “how similar are we” type quiz. I wonder how many points you’ll score! I had fun making it, so I hope you all have fun doing it. And please let me know what your results are! I hope you found doing this quiz fun!…

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope everyone had a good start of the week. I personally haven’t done anything besides read. Which is not bad, but I can definitely think of a few things I should be doing instead, lol. Anyway, WWW Wednesday is hosted by Taking on a World of Books, and all you need to do is answer these three questions:rereads – What are you currently reading? – What did you recently finish reading? – And what do you think you’ll read next? P.S: My posts look best when viewed in landscape mode on your phone or on your…

The Shadow of the Gods – Spoiler Free Review

Happy Saturday everyone! I finished The Shadow of the Gods about ten minutes before starting this review. I know it’s a little weird I immediately write my reviews after finishing a book, but for me it’s closure. And boy, do I need closure. I got The Shadow of the Gods via NetGalley. I know I say this a lot, but this time I was REALLY surprised when I got approved. My feedback ratio was shit. But, ya know, something with a gift horse… Please do read the content warnings below before picking this book up when it comes out, because…

Tag Time – The Story Graph Tag

Happy Thursday everyone! I came across this tag on Twitter, and just had to do it! The questions are super fun, and it’ll give you a good glimpse into my Story Graph. I hope you join me in spreading this tag! As I said, this tag is all about The Story Graph. I’ve been using it since it was just a beta version, and I loved it then and love it even more now. The Story Graph has a very clean and clear design, and yet there are so many things you can do with it. You can get recommendations…
