• annafromuni’s 2025 Favourites

  It feels like 2025 has flown by, not just in terms of my studies and PhD work, but in what I have read and when I read it. I swear, I was only just reading some of these favourites a few weeks ago, but apparently, they were read back in February and March. Time really…

• My February 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: calm. I have done a lot this last month, from PhD work to fun reading, meetings and museum showcases, book reviews and project plans. It has been busy yet calm, almost comfortingly so. There’s just something about doing things that makes me feel relaxed and proactive. My reading has taken me through all…

• The Gentleman Bastard Sequence – The Best Adult Fantasy Series To Date

  I have been reading The Gentleman Bastard Sequence by Scott Lynch over the last six months, and I honestly feel like my perception of fantasy and writing has changed thanks to his works. From the filthy Camorr origins in The Lies of Locke Lamora, to the deadly swashbuckling adventures of Red Seas Under Red Skies,…

• Scott Lynch’s The Republic of Thieves – The Finale You’ve Been Waiting For

  This review has been a long time coming. I made my first The Republic of Thieves post in October 2024, stating what I hoped to see in the book when I finally got to reading and completing it. Well, almost three and a half months later I have done it. I have read Scott Lynch’s…

• My January 2025 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: disbelief. 2025 feels like it has been a series of months: Holiday break, then moving back into work mode, throw in a ten-day indoor sentencing for the cat and suddenly three different months have happened in the span of 31 days. I have managed to get a fair number of books read in…

• My October 2024 Reading Summary

  Overall mood: preoccupied. As October has been the final month of postgrad classes, personal stuff, and the exam season, I have been rather busy. Finding the time to read when other things should take precedence can bring about a lot of guilt, so I haven’t read as many books as I thought (mainly the first…
