Hello there! If you'd like to know more about me and this blog, read this post! I'm glad you found your way here and hope you'll have a great time!
Welcome to my crazy world!
The Questioning: Graham Austin-King
The Questioning is where everything gets upside down. Every month I invite one author and one blogger, who showed me great support during my blogging life. Then I push them waaaaay out of their comfort zones. Authors has become interrogators and Bloggers get interrogated. Rest assured, no one gets hurt (much) and everyone has fun (eventually). You can find every related post on The Questioning page!
SPFBO Edition: Camilla Ochlan & Bonita Gutierrez
Tales from the Asylum is a new feature I came up with for SPFBO. I wanted to create a unique opportunity for the authors to show off their story telling skills by taking their characters and putting them in an asylum room to see how they would deal with the situation. A lot can happen in a closed space...
SPFBO: The Second Round of DNFs by Jen and Timy
For a change, Jen and me doing a post together, as some of the books below are already cut, and as I'm being slow with reading and don't have enough material for a post on my own, I decided to chime in.

The Imaginary Corpse by Tyler Hayes
The Imaginary Corpse is one of the most imaginative books I've read in a long time. As someone who is a sucker for stuffed animals and battles with anxiety this book really hit close to home. Tyler Hayes debut fantasy novel just ruined me in the best possible way, and not only jumped somewhere near the top of my "Favourite Books Ever" list, but also landed him on my auto-buy list.
A Hero Born by Jin Yong, translated by Anna Holmwood
There is a lot to love in A Hero Born though, and I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to read this Chinese classic.
Shattered Fears by Ulff Lehmann
What Lehmann excels at is weaving an intricate, multilayered story, with complex characters who feel like they could walk out of the pages anytime. Shattered Fears is about battling your demons whether they are real or just in your head. Or are they?

Interview with Tippy from The Imaginary Corpse
The name’s Tippy, formally Detective Tippy of the Stuffed Animal Detective Agency. I am, as you can see, a sunflower-yellow stuffed triceratops. I’m the best detective in Playtime Town and among the best in the Stillreal, and I used to be a pretty darn good imaginary friend before my creator decided to part ways with me. (It’s a long story.)

Shields in Shadow by Andy Peloquin
Shields in Shadow was an exciting popcorn read - thriller-type pacing, good gory battles, and some fun characters to root for. All in all it looks to be a great start to a series that is worth keeping an eye on.
What’s to come? – September 2019
With September arriving the temperature dropped from 33 to 18 in a day - which I'm not complaining about, because fuck heat. Probably my brain will now will be able to process reading and stuff - once I finally get some normal rest, that is. As I've been lacking with a lot of things in August, September will be all about catching up and trying to squeeze in everything. I don't have much to look forward to this month, so no distraction.
Monthly Wrap Up: August 2019
Summer is finally over and we are about to have a temperature drop and I'm sooooo ready for not boiling finally.
August went away in a blink of an eye and I'm both sad and happy about it. I had some great times, but I also got damned behind on EVERYTHING. September will be about trying to catch up to myself.

SPFBO: The First Reaping
As it is the nature of any competition, at one point we have to start saying goodbyes to those who didn't quite won our hearts over. For Team RockStarlit BookAsylum this moment arrived now. We are going to say goodbye to 6 books, some we enjoyed reading, some not so much.

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Daisy Jones & The Six is one hell of a tour of emotions, life and music. I don't think a book ever made me tear up by page 38. And those were even happy tears!! Honestly, I just loved everything about this book from start to finish. It's not happens every day that my extremely high expectations are met and I fell in love with a book everyone else seems to love. Just... go for it. Give this a read if your love the '70s, rock and roll or just music in general. You won't be disappointed.
