Staturday #3
Stats on Saturday! Those of you who know me a little bit, know that I can’t resist taking some stats while I am reading or collecting my books. So, prepare for some (more or less) useless reading stats! It’s not just so I can show off my spreadsheets with bookish data, but it helps =)

Dark Triumph
I liked Ismae’s but I liked Sybella’s story even more. The second book in the His Fair Assassin-series follows Sybella, another Handmaiden of Death. She tried to flee her old life by coming to the Convent of Saint Mortain but instead was trained to return and retake her place at court as a spy to…

Grave Mercy
Finally catching up with some series. I read Grave Mercy a couple of years ago, but what did I think of it?

Little Black Classics – In search of the quintessential classic
Or: Some statistics on a Saturday Recently I finished the last of the 127 books from the Little Black Classics collection, which were all published by Penguin in 2015-2016. Small bites of Classics, to try them out and discover new authors. Or that was what I thought. In a couple of posts I will be

New Year’s Resolutions
It’s been awhile. The last 18 months have not – for reasons that I don’t think need any clarification – been easy. As it became clear it was much more of a marathon than a sprint, and combined with some quarantines and isolations, I sort of buried myself in work and lost my pleasure in

St Mary’s and the Great Toilet Roll Crisis
#TimeTravelTuesday I only found out about this very short story now, and you can find it for free on Jodi Taylor’s blog (click here) This was great and even more funny than I would have expected it to be. Very short, but fits in perfectly with the series and the crisis and brings back all

Plan For The Worst
