  • What Do We Plan For 2022?

    February 21, 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…

    Throughout the year, I'll dig deeper into the prompts of The Sound of Madness Reading Challenge 2022. I'll talk about the music, the prompt and recommend about 5 books I think would go well with it. The prompt of the week: Oops!... I Did It Again.

    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…

    Monthly Wrap Up January

    Well, you guys can't say I don't know how to kick a year off. In the first days of January, I dropped the news of changing the blog's name to Queen's Book Asylum. Then went on and launched my own music-themed reading challenge, The Sound of Madness (still not too late to join). It both feels like it's been a long time ago and yesterday. Weird. Anyway, thankfully we had a lot of other content up on the blog your reading pleasures.

    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.

    Sneak Peek January

    After taking some time off (haha, as if, let's not think about how many hours I spent with Photoshop among other things, shall we), we are back in full force. There will be quite a few reviews coming in January and we start getting SPFBO reviews out as well. And I'm planning to resurrect an old feature too. As well as launching my own reading challenge for 2021, but more about that tomorrow.

    Sneak Peek December

    I honestly don't have much plans for December. I think I'll just try to relax and take everything easy. We'll be taking a break from blogging so apart from encore posts and a handful of reviews, we won't have much to offer. I guess all those packed months finally caught up with me and I need to take a step back. Plus, the holidays are coming and I intend to enjoy it rather than worry about posts.

    Monthly Wrap Up June

    Hoo boy, June was A MONTH. And we are only halfway through 2020. It started with me working my ass off to get the blog ready for the moving. That is, we moved RockStarlit BookAsylum from Wordpress.com to a self-hosted Wordpress site and if I can say so, it looks fucking great. Which is only fair, as I worked more on this than I care to admit. On the day before the final move I basically sat before my screen for 12 hours straight to make sure everything is as it should be. And that was only the last day. But thankfully everything went well and to celebrate we announced…

    We Ride the Storm by Devin Madson

    We Ride the Storm is a strong, incredible even, first book, which builds up the conflict and leaves plenty of questions to be answered in later books. It's a bloody, character driven, headless... err, endless fun. Devin Madson's voice is one worth listening to in the cacophony of the Fantasy genre, and I personally can't wait to see how far she will get with the Reborn Empire series. Hopefully not too many heads will fall in her wake.

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.
