I should be catching up on my review backlog, so obviously I’m declaring it Sunday Funday and tackling a tag that I saw over at Space and Sorcery (originally created by vlogger Kayley Hyde). I don’t watch a huge amount of TV, and I talk about it even less – so what does a light-sensitive bookwyrm enjoy?

It never rains but it pours: if March showered us with excellent releases, the April forecast is for a deluge that includes a few titles I’ve been looking forward to all year (and the tree editions of several books whose e-release I celebrated last month). It’s time to make some (more) room…
We’re a quarter of the way through 2022 already (whut) and when I saw this meme over at Books, Bones & Buffy it felt like a great way to observe the milestone. The format originated with girlxoxo to check in on the reads that made the biggest impression during the first part of the year. Let’s do this!
After much deliberation and a sudden brainwave, I am delighted to announce that for this year’s Wyrd and Wonder sign-up giveaway I shall be giving away not one, not two but three books (a whole trilogy in fact) that I absolutely adore and that has a (slightly horrific) twist on our forest fantasy theme.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. Today we’re taking it easy and picking some favourite book titles that include adjectives.

NEVER HAVE I EVER…
This tag was created by Madame Writer/Anne with a Book for us to explore (or lie about) our deepest darkest bookish sins. I was tagged by BookForager nearly a year ago (ah, time, that mysterious alchemy of days) so it’s probably about time I came clean…
I can’t think what’s coming out in March, I thought. Must be a quiet month, I thought. Calm before the storm, I thought. Ahahaha, no, I just hadn’t been paying attention. Reinforce your shelves, friends, because March releases are on their way to tantalise you. Get ready to make some room for more than just one more.
You know the saying: no two people in the contacted world are more than six social connections apart. Inspired by Kate at Books Are My Favourite And Best, I like to apply this notion to books and challenge friends and authors to find interesting ways to hop from one book to another based on a shared author, theme, award win and so on. Today, I’m delighted to welcome AJ Hackwith, author of the Hell’s Library trilogy, to take the Six Degrees challenge.
Five years ago, C of The Middle Shelf floated the idea of a jury-based award given by a panel of bloggers to their pick of the best works of genre fiction each year. Fast forward to 2022 and our fifth annual Subjective Chaos Kind of Awards will be bigger and more chaotic than ever, with more categories, more nominees and more opinions. Buckle up, it’s time to say hello to our 2022 panel and subjective shortlist!
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. This week we’re talking about books that were simply too good to review – or as I like to say, that reduced me to all vowels: AAAAAAAAAAAAA or EEEEEEEEEE. You get the idea.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish, and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s all about books, lists and sharing the love we have of both with our bookish friends. This week is a freebie and I’m catching up on old prompt: character traits I can’t help but love.
Wyrd and Wonder will be back this May – and would you believe it’s our fifth birthday? We’re looking to celebrate all things fantasy with as many friends as we can persuade to join the party. Will you join us?
February is here, bringing with it a month-long event hosted by Benjamin of Literature & Lofi. The premise is super simple: only read books written by women. And yes, I know, that’s not exactly unusual round here but I’m always ready to help balance years of male domination of my favourite genres. So what will I be reading this month?
2022 looks to be another year where (unsurprisingly after the much-discussed Book Crisis of Winter 2021) some releases are being delayed or having separate digital and physical releases. The good news? There’s plenty of interesting titles heading our way next month! If there’s always room for one more, these are the ones I’m most tempted by.
