Once again, I’m setting reading goals for 2024, including reading challenges and a shortened TBR list I’d like to focus on this year.
Book Tag: My Life in Books 2023
I decided to start 2024 with a fun tag, My Life in Books which I discovered back in 2022 through Liis’s blog, Cover to Cover. So, here is the My Life in Books 2023 edition!
Challenge Check-In – May 2023
My Challenge Check-In for May 2023 in which I talk about how I did with my reading challenges this month, and offer you 5-5 recs for 2 The Sound of Madness Reading Challenge prompts. Which are Shut Up and Dance, and Keepsake.
Challenge Check-In – April 2023
My Challenge Check-In for April 2023 in which I talk about how I did with my reading challenges this month, and offer you 5-5 recs for 2 The Sound of Madness Reading Challenge prompts. Which are Teenage Dirtbag and You Look Better When I’m Drunk.
The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence
Timy reviews The Book That Wouldn’t Burn, the first book in Mark Lawrence’s new The Library Trilogy, published on May 11, 2023, by HarperVoyager.
Timy’s Reading Goals in 2023
In the name of being organized, I have a couple of reading goals in 2023. Buckle up peeps, because this is going to be one long-ass post with a lot of books mentioned.
Listen & Read – Lose Yourself
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: Lose Yourself.
Monthly Wrap Up: October 2019
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 slush piling so we’ll start announcing our semi-finalists real soon. But we also read some other great books too, and hosted awesome authors.
August went away in a blink of an eye and I’m both sad and happy about it. I had some great times, but I also got damned behind on EVERYTHING. September will be about trying to catch up to myself.
Dispel Illusion by Mark Lawrence
Dispel Illusion brings a most satisfying ending to the Impossible Times trilogy. The threads are closed seamlessly and there aren’t unanswered questions left. Maybe a few smaller ones, but in general, you can’t have much complains. I had high expectations for Dispel Illusion, and it didn’t disappoint. Just as full of heart, and life lessons as the previous books. I highly recommend the whole trilogy if you’d like to dive into a tale about time travelling, love, friendship, decisions and second chances.
What’s to come? – October 2019
I actually have things to look forward to! My UK trip for example. And we also will have a lot of SPFBO updates, so it’ll be worth keeping an eye on the blog!
