Event Klaxon: Wyrd and Wonder
3 May 2025 
This post is a little bit later than planned but better late than never I always say.
The 1st of May saw the start of this year’s Wyrd and Wonder, a yearly event that I always look forward to. Last year I was very unorganised and didn’t manage to post so this year I’m hoping to be more involved.
I have a few lovely books lined up for May and in fact I’m currently reading The Devils by Joe Abercrombie and really enjoying it so will be posting a review under the W&W banner for that one.
If you fancy joining in this is a very chilled event used to simply celebrate everything and anything fantastical.
Check out more details here. There are plenty of prompts and readalongs to become involved in and you can blog, or post to Instagram or Bluesky. All the details and the hosts can be found over at the link I’ve provived.
I’ve also included the prompts and bingo card for you to take a look at below. Hope to see you all and looking forward to the discussions:

June is here and didn’t that rush up on us, probably because we were having such a great time taking part in Wyrd and Wonder. I had a fantastic time, I didn’t necessarily stick to plan but I had some good reads, joined in the readalong and kept my eye on all the daily challenges.that were sweeping/swamping twitter.
So, check out my post pre event to see what my original schedule looked like – this was maybe a little ambitious and I didn’t totally stick to it but I did okay and enjoyed my reads:
- The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison – the readalong book. (Short recap of my thoughts to follow soon)
- Night Of The Dragon by Julie Kagawa (reviewed)
- The Obsidian Tower by Melissa Caruso – I’m 30% into this one
- The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant (reviewed)
- The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison – just completed, review to follow
- Silver in the Wood (The Greenhollow Duology #1) by Emily Tesh (reviewed)
- Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton (reviewed)
- The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix – review to follow
Finally, I’d like to thank our lovely hosts imyril, Lisa and Jorie.and say how much I’m looking forward to taking part again next year (too soon?) Seriously, though, see you all again for another Wyrd and Wonder next May.
