Long time no see, sweet friends! I haven’t blogged on Nyx Book Reviews in years. After six years of book blogging I found myself kind of… done? In the meantime I’ve moved countries, finished some degrees and am still in the process of my final one (a doctorate), and did a whole lot of reading […]
In 2013 I signed up for The Fantasy Project, a long term reading challenge where you try to read 101 fantasy books spread over 10 years hosted by Michelle of The True Book Addict. Now, 101 books are a lot, and I’ve found that the list is simply too long for me to truly be […]
Last month I put a call out looking for finished series. I talked about how my bookish memory sucks, and I hate having to wait year(s) between instalments.

About six and a half month ago, I started with the Classics Club. I challenged myself to read fifty classics in three years, keeping track of the list on my blog. Now, it’s been half a year. Am I on schedule to complete the challenge? To finish my fifty books in exactly three years, I […]
So I signed up for the 2013 Debut Author Challenge, and I started wondering. How did I actually do on my 2012 challenges? Wait.. which ones did I sign up again for? So I did some research and discovered that I joined two challenges this year, the TBR Pile Reading Challenge and the All Series, […]
I absolutely love Halloween. It’s the absolute best thing about fall since I hate the cold and all the rain. Halloween is the start of all the fun winter celebration days! Plus, it comes with ghosts and spooky pumpkins and evil witches. Throw in the zombie shuffle and you’ve got yourself a great party! To […]
