    Éet's Be Wyrd and Wonder in 2022!

    Wyrd and Wonder is a month-long celebration of all things Fantasy, organized by a couple of amazing ladies. It's their fifth year and they have big plans. For the third year, Queen's Book Asylum also attempts to take part - I mostly failed miserably in the past couple of years, so let's hope I'll do better in 2022.

    What do we plan for 2022

    It's that time of the year again - although we are a tiny bit late - when we sit down and set goals for the year ahead of us. These past two years showed us that life is about as unpredictable as they come, and planning ahead requires some flexibility. We can only hope this year will be kinder to us all and we can achieve what we aim for. Only time will tell whether we make it or not, but we can definitely try! And so, we are here to tell you what we plan for 2022 blogging, reading, and life-wise. Come and get excited with us and tell…

    Timy's Top 10 Reads of 2021

    Like last year, we once again decided to post 3 separate top 10 reads of 2021 lists instead of one mega-list or one with only a couple of picks each. Which, let's face it, would be downright cruelty to ourselves. Our only rule was that any book on these lists has to be read during 2021, regardless of when they were published and by whom. And we had to love them, obviously. Maybe. I mean, when you keep shouting at the author in private for things they did, it's surely a sign of love, right? Even if you call said author names... *ahem* Anyway. First to go is Timy with…

    Book Tag: 90s Music Edition

    As they say, there is always a first time for everything. After nearly 4 years of blogging, it's time for my first ever book tag post! As we all know I'm a music junkie and I'm also a 90s kid, so I just knew if I only ever did one book tag post, it has to be the 90s Music Edition one. With music videos for extra fun!

    3 Years in SPFBO

    SPFBO 7 started off on June 1st and as many of you know, the Asylum is not a judging blog anymore. But not all of us stepped back from the competition. In this post I'd like to talk about why I made the decision of stepping back, how SPFBO affected my (blogging) life, and highlight all the gems I got to find thanks to the competition. It will be a long post, so buckle up. I'll try to keep the rambling to a minimum, but no promises...

    Timy's Top 10 Reads of 2020

    After some debate, we decided that instead of doing one short (top 3 reads each which would have been downright cruelty to ourselves), or one very long (top 10 reads each, squeezed together) post on our favorite reads in 2020, we'll do three separate ones. Mainly because we'd like to highlight as many books as we can, regardless of when they were released, if they are indie, self-published, or traditionally published. The only criteria were that we had to read it in 2020. And maybe like it too. A tiny bit. Maybe. Next up is Timy's Top 10 Reads of 2020.

    Monthly Wrap Up November

    November came and went and my second month living alone has passed. I spent November on different crafting projects and reading some truly awesome books. And giving the blog a bit of face lifting. What? I can't stop fiddling with it, go away. But of course, we had some other posts other than reviews as well - cover reveals, an interview, book tours.

The Queen has captured you sneaking around in her home, but she is in a merciful mood. She has allowed you to go free on the condition that you brave the ancient ruins and find her missing cloak clasp. It is in the shape of her most beloved animal. She no longer likes to go there, because she is convinced that there are magical goings-on in the ruins that are not of this world.
