    3 Years in SPFBO

    SPFBO 7 started off on June 1st and as many of you know, the Asylum is not a judging blog anymore. But not all of us stepped back from the competition. In this post I'd like to talk about why I made the decision of stepping back, how SPFBO affected my (blogging) life, and highlight all the gems I got to find thanks to the competition. It will be a long post, so buckle up. I'll try to keep the rambling to a minimum, but no promises...

    Monthly Wrap Up May

    I know 2020 is a complete shit show so far, and I hope you are all safe and well. I sure have my own struggles - apparently my optometrist have no clue why my glasses which are supposed to be good, aren't actually good and give me troubles. It greatly affects my everyday life and reading (thank fuck for audiobooks). But I try not to let that get in my way and not to take too much painkillers for my headaches... Life is fun, huh? Anyway, I'm not here to whine about myself, but to tell you all about what we were up to in May!

    Sneak Peek May

    May is here! And you know what does that mean? It's Wyrd & Wonder month! We celebrate fantasy throughout May. It's not too late to join in all the fun. You can find the introduction here. Be sure to check it out becuase these ladies planned a LOT of awesome stuff. As usual, I have all kinds of things planned for this month as well, though not all of them fantasy related. But I'll try my best. Who knows? I might even do some fun posts using their Wyrd & Wonder challenge prompts! Alright, let's see what I have in mind.

    Monthly Wrap Up April

    Is it just me, or April really went by fast? It definitely seemed shorter than March. Weird. I definitely had more good days this month, so that's a plus. I also worked on some secret stuff, which was fun. In an "OMG, what the hell am I doing?" way, lol. I also discovered The Unbelievable Truth series on Audible, and since I'm starting my days with audiobooks, I figured listening to something that makes me laugh would actually do some good for me. I'm only 2 days in, but so far it seems to be working. *shrug*

    Sneak Peek April

    I think we'll lean heavily on the reviewing side of things in April. That being said, I'm more sober regarding April, mostly because all of my plans got chucked into the bin.

    Monthly Wrap Up March

    March definitely wasn't good for my mental health. I had more downs than ups, and the fact that my wages got dropped for the time being didn't improve things, that's for sure. It was also my blog anniversary month and it honestly didn't go as well as I hoped which by the end of the month left me totally unmotivated toward blogging.

    Tales from the Asylum

    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...

  • 2 Years in the Asylum

    March 17, 2020 /

    The good thing about anniversaries is that they roll around every year. And thus, here we are, celebrating the 2nd birthday of my baby blog. Or is it toddler now? The second year wasn't less eventful than the first one, even though 2019 was one of my worst years personally. As last year, I'd like to take a look back at this past year and highlight some milestones and memories including a lot of pictures.

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.
