    Alas, June comes to an end, another month flew by and we couldn't have asked the gods for a better post to wrap up an awesome month. If that title didn't get you then all hope eludes you. Closing the curtain on Pride Month (though, stay tuned—this isn't it for Pride Nights!), author Lyra Wolf dives into Loki's queerness, which she explored in her fantasy series The Nine Worlds Rising.

    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.

    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.

    October was mostly about catching up, and cram in as many things as possible before I headed to the UK toward the end of the month. I had a great time both in London and Bristol - article coming soon, I promise, unlike the WorldCon one... - and it charged me with energy and good feels. It was awesome to meet old friends and make new ones and I already can't wait for the next BristolCon. But until I get myself together, take a look at what we were up to this past month. We are getting near the end of phase 1 in SPFBO and we are done with…

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.
