  • Let’s Be Wyrd and Wonder in 2022!

    May 2, 2022 /
    Éet's Be Wyrd and Wonder in 2022!

    Wyrd and Wonder is a month-long celebration of all things Fantasy, organized by a couple of amazing ladies. It's their fifth year and they have big plans. For the third year, Queen's Book Asylum also attempts to take part - I mostly failed miserably in the past couple of years, so let's hope I'll do better in 2022.

    What do we plan for 2022

    It's that time of the year again - although we are a tiny bit late - when we sit down and set goals for the year ahead of us. These past two years showed us that life is about as unpredictable as they come, and planning ahead requires some flexibility. We can only hope this year will be kinder to us all and we can achieve what we aim for. Only time will tell whether we make it or not, but we can definitely try! And so, we are here to tell you what we plan for 2022 blogging, reading, and life-wise. Come and get excited with us and tell…

    Changes in the Asylum

    In the past 1,5 years, the focus mostly fell on books Justine and I promoted via Storytellers On Tour. But since we closed the doors, and I had new challenges ahead of me, I knew we needed changes in the Asylum. And so, we are here to tell you all about those changes!

    Arina's Top 10 Reads of 2021

    Like last year, the Asylum ladies are sharing their top 10 reads of 2021 in a sequence of 3 posts. Today Arina closes the curtain on this spotlight. You'll notice some of these books weren't actual 2021 releases, as the only rule we had for our top reads was that we had to have read them in 2021, regardless of their release date. Because it's never too late to discover a favorite or a genre-behemoth you are just now learning to love.

    Jen's Top 10 Reads of 2021

    Like last year, we once again decided to post 3 separate top 10 reads of 2021 lists instead of one mega-list or one with only a couple of picks each. Which, let's face it, would be downright cruelty to ourselves. Our only rule was that any book on these lists has to be read during 2021, regardless of when they were published and by whom. And we had to love them, obviously. Maybe. I mean, when you keep shouting at the author in private for things they did, it's surely a sign of love, right? Even if you call said author names... *ahem* Anyway next up is Jen with her…

The Queen has captured you sneaking around in her home, but she is in a merciful mood. She has allowed you to go free on the condition that you brave the ancient ruins and find her missing cloak clasp. It is in the shape of her most beloved animal. She no longer likes to go there, because she is convinced that there are magical goings-on in the ruins that are not of this world.
