I skipped last year’s bingo due to time issues, and while I did keep track of my reading and adding books to prompts I failed to get a black-out bingo. Also because I was super unprepared. I had no idea what to read for certain prompts which made it hard. Mood reading dictated most of 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
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
Reading Challenge: r/Fantasy Bingo 2022
It’s that time of the year again, a new bingo will go up on the fantasy subreddit! After last year’s success, I want to take part in it again. There are 25 squares again and I’ll add my own limitations to the books I’m going to read. I want to prioritise the books I already Read More

r/Fantasy Bingo – July update
It’s been a few months since r/Fantay’s bingo started and some people have already finished the card. I’ve only finished ten squares but have a few books that can still fill up more squares. I’m really enjoying myself and hope to get a few more books off my TBR this way since the majority of Read More
Reading Challenge: r/Fantasy Bingo 2021
I’ve been lurking on the Fantasy subreddit for a while now and I want to participate more. One of the community events is the yearly r/fantasy bingo, and I want to participate this year.

Reading Challenge 2021
2020 was supposed to be the year of the chonk, but 2020 had different plans. While I did read a record number of books (100+?!), it wasn’t really a chonky year. So I want to take on the challenge again. I don’t mind the slimmer books I read last year. Heck, it was a year Read More
