Previous Story: Prologue: This Reader Becomes A HeroChapter 1: Phyrre and the Ice Dragon I knew my weekend was shot the minute I opened the door to find the wizard standing on my doorstep. I mean, it wasn’t like he was the sort that just stopped round for a cuppa and a brief chat. If […]
Previous Story: Prologue: This Reader Becomes A Hero “It’s been a whole lot of nothing lately, hasn’t it Carl?” I huff as I lay back in the grass, staring up at the sky through the canopy of trees. Carl says nothing, but I can feel his frustration mix with my own. A rock such as […]
Welcome to your journey to save the kingdom. There are books falling on citizens and no one knows why, but we all may be buried under books soon. It’s up to you to make it stop. You basically have no skills, but some wizard picked you for this? Weird choice but okay. I’m your narrator, […]
If we’re honest, I think most bookwyrms have long ago realized that the thing that’s most likely to do them in is their TBR. It seems only fitting, I suppose, given the amount of time we’ve spent avoiding it, adding to its woe, and simply pretending it wasn’t that angry and a few more books […]
Wait. Do mermaids count as fish? Hmm. Oh well. I’m going with it. Look, I was obviously going to do this readathon, to support the two fabulous women who created it, Leelynn @ Sometimes Leelynn Reads and Mir @ FangirlPixieBlog. Lucky for me, this also sounds like a heck of a lot of fun, so […]
As per my normal brand, I am completely late with jumping on this readathon. It’s only partly my fault. Okay, completely my fault, but at least the reasons are good this time. I don’t have a great history of follow-ups when it comes to readathons. I love the idea, and I eagerly join, but when […]

1 summer. 3 months. 13 weeks. 91 days. 7,699 pages. The #20BooksofSummer Challenge is hosted by Cathy at 746 Books. The gist: from June 3 until September 3, attempt to read 20 books this summer. And maybe keep your sanity. But that’s optional, really. Since I forfeited my sanity a long time ago (if I […]
Having just spent a week participating in the Bout of Books read-a-thon … I have books to review! Surprise! Probably not much of a surprise, but hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? I only ended up reading four out of the seven books I had lined up, but that’s more than I expected to, so […]
It may surprise exactly none of you that I am a big sucker for read-a-thons. Something about books and throwing caution to the wind so you can read as much as humanly possible in a set amount of time. It sounds totally exciting, right? Well, this week, from Monday through Sunday, will be the Bout of Books […]
