Yesterday, D.N. Bryn released their new book, Bite Your Neighbour, a m/m paranormal romance (tropes in the image below). I loved Bryn’s other books so I’m really excited about this one! I already knew I’ll fall in love with the characters because Bryn has a gift for writing interesting characters and relationships. They all feel Read More

Indie Accords Readathon Paths Q3/Q4 2022
We’re continuing with the readathons! The Indie Accords crew has just released their new boards for those who want to do themed reading. This readathon is a lot less effort since it’s only six prompts per path (pick one, pick all, it’s up to you) and you have until the end of December. You must Read More
SPSFC Allocations
Earlier this summer, another call went out for judges for a self-publishing contest. A science-fiction one specifically. I’ve been reading more Sci-fi but not in the indie category. And I wanted to give it a shot. But since I’m already a teamleader for BBNYA, I didn’t want to be a full judge. I’ve joined The Read More
Why Indie Books Are Amazing
I discovered self-published books years ago and it was eye-opening. Lichgates by S.M. Boyce was one of the first, and it blew me away. The characters and the worldbuilding were amazing and original. It was fast-paced and kept me hooked until the end. I finished the four-book series in a week. Since then, I’ve read Read More

Ready Player Read(athon) Wrap-up
I joined the Ready Player Read(athon) hosted on the SFF Oasis Discord and I wanted to see if I could get a blackout. Some banter in the channels also motivated me to go for it, so I switched out books to make it easier. Shorter books, more novellas, three graphic novels (the max allowed). I Read More
Cover Reveal: The Children of Chaos by Trudie Skies
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of reading The Thirteenth Hour by Trudie Skies and it became (and still is) my favourite book of the year. The cover alone was enough to seduce me, and then the blurb won me over. But it was the intrinsic worldbuilding that I fell in love with. Soon Read More
Ready Player Read(athon)
I joined the SFF Oasis a while ago after a friend, Jaedia, dragged me in. It’s a great Discord community with readers and authors who share a love for the SFF genre. It’s a fun mix of people who are all supportive to each other’s endeavours and chosen paths. Benny, the server owner, and the Read More
Best Reads of 2022 (so far)
It’s that time of the year again: a mid-year update on my reading! I thought I wouldn’t read a lot this first half of the year because of health reasons. There was one month where I didn’t read a lot but I made up for that in the last two months. Broadening my reading experience Read More
Birthday Haul 2022
It was my birthday last Wednesday and I had plans for the first time in years. One of my best friends had a work thing in Amsterdam and she came a day early to celebrate with me. I still had the gift voucher for the American Book Center that I won in a writing competition Read More
