Nice to see this place getting lively! I reintroduction might be in order.

I run a book blog called Queen's Book Asylum, I sometimes beta read, and I'm dipping my toes into writing. Again.

I love:

I got to say, the last quarter of the year looks pretty good for entertainment. I'm off to World Fantasy Con at the end of October, I have a ticket to a Recirquel show in November, and I have 2 concert tickets for December for two of my favorite Hungarian bands. One is for a new album too!

Oh look, it's so much easier to write a review a few DAYS after you finished a book rather than a few WEEKS. Who would have thought?!

I'VE GOT HIGH HEEL ANKLE BOOTS! Like, proper adult woman boots and you guys have no idea how fucking happy that makes me. It's a size bigger than what I normally wear but with double soles I can make it work. And a bit of other fixing, I think. Anyway. I HAVE ADULT BOOTS!!!

"But he also dragged me out of the hole I tend to push myself into when overstressed, closing out everything and everyone. I wince as I imagine how many unanswered messages are waiting for me from Xinthy, our manager, and Avery, wondering what the fuck is going on. I’m not sure how to explain that my father happened. Not to Xin, anyway. Ever since he popped up, well, not in my life, precisely, but in the public eye, I've been letting the ghosts of my childhood memories crowd my mind as well as questions about what’s going on."

You all just don't have too much fun in Bristol without me. That's all I'm asking here. SAVE SOME FOR ME TOO!!

Same. 1,5 weeks of work 😭. Then I'll have some free time as I'm skipping Bristol (not going to have FOMO at all...) before I head to Brighton.

Ben has a younger sister, Gigi who helps him run their club, Pandamonium. I love Gigi so I make her appear when I can. They have a strong bond. Damien has a half brother he only learns about when he is an adult. They met as children though. He is an important part of the story for reasons.

Does your MC have any siblings? Are they part of the story? What are they like? #WritingPrompt

Thank fuck World FantasyCon is in Brighton. I can fly directly to Gatwick and then take the train. Provided I won't get lost at Gatwick (never used that airport before). Then again, I could do without flying (especially as Wizzair fucked up their entire schedule and I'm forced to fly at 6:45 😭)

And if you want to see my progress throughout the year, I regularly update my original reading goals post so everything is in one place!

It's always funny when my sixth sense is in the works.

Me today: Hm, I wonder if I could bother Caroline for AR's next year catalogue.

Caroline a few hours later: *sends out next year's releases*

Me: Well, well, well. Ask and you shall receive.

There are a few things I hate more than shopping for winter coats. Then again, finding anything in my size is a challenge at the best of times. But coats are the evil of all clothes. Even if I find something I can pretend to like and isn't outrageously big, then it still costs to get fitted.

I don't know what's with me and glasses these days. On Friday, I lost my sunglasses (thankfully, it was found). Today I left BOTH of my regular glasses at home and had to go pick them up so I can actually work 😅 Good thing I live so close to my workplace...

Today, I review LAST NIGHT AT THE DISCO, a standalone fiction novel by Lisa Borders. Out today!

"Last Night at the Disco offers a glimpse into the 70s' drug, music, and sex-fuelled art scene. If you can get over the MC's unflattering personality, that is."

If I remember correctly, book 2 was supposed to be book 1 (but Mike might contradict me). Anyway. I wasn't as much into book 2 myself but I'm planning to read the whole series one of these days. Maybe next year.
