Hello, hello and welcome back to another episode of WWW Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words, which means I’ll be answering these questions:
We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is: Books I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read (this is a throwback topic from 2022)
Happy Monday, book pandas! 🐼 I’m excited to be back with another Fantasy with Friends post today.
Fantasy with Friends is a discussion meme hosted by Briana and Krysta on Pages Unbound. Questions are posed every Monday about fantasy, either as a genre as a whole or individual works. The yearly schedule is available on Pages Unbound so you can prepare way in advance! Don’t forget to leave a comment and link on the scheduled day so your post can be linked up. You can also tag @pagesunbound on Twitter and/or Bluesky!
We’re back with another Sundays in Bed With… meme! This meme dares to ask you what book has been in your bed this morning and is hosted by Midnight Book Girl. Come share what book you’ve spent your time reading in bed or wish you had time to read today.
I’ll be spending my Sunday night in bed with Paladin’s Faith by T. Kingfisher. This is the last book in the Saints of Steel series (so far?) but after very quickly finishing the third book, we decided to power through the last one so we can complete the series. I haven’t been reading much, but I’m enjoying what I have read so far with Kingfisher’s classic witty characters, charming interactions, and cosiness!
Also, I think this cover might be my favourite of the lot. It’s so pretty (especially irl)! 😍
What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?

Nine Goblins
Publisher: Titan Books
Pub Date: 20 January 2026
Genre: Cosy Fantasy
Panda Rating:
(4.5 pandas)
From New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes Nine Goblins, a tale of low fantasy and high mischief.
No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.
But goblins don’t go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin sergeant Nessilka must figure out how to keep her hapless band together and get them home in one piece.
Unfortunately, between them and safety lies a forest full of elves, trolls, monsters, and that most terrifying of creatures…a human being.
Mass murder (including animal deaths, all occurring off-page but described on-page when discovered), displacement
Must protect the goblins at all costs!!! Oh, this cosy fantasy novella was just so freaking adorable and I adored it to bits! I love Kingfisher’s books so much. She never fails to deliver a freaking good, weird and quirky time, and Nine Goblins was no different.

I’ll be spending the rest of my Sunday night in bed reading The Fury of the Gods by John Gwynne. This is the third and final book of the trilogy, and Becky and I are eating it up. It’s been intense right from the go in this final book, and it’s been really fun discussing theories and feelings as we read. We have a lot of feelings about certain characters! 😂 This truly an epic series.
What book do you have in bed with you this Sunday?

Happy Friday, book pandas! I’ve decided to start posting for First Lines Friday again since I now have more free Fridays. I can’t believe the last time that I did this Friday meme was back in 2021—time sure does fly. 🤭 On that note, I’m going to dive straight in.
Happy Friday book lovers! We’re back with another First Lines Friday, a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Here are the rules:
First lines:
“The Killorans’ front door changed color depending upon who knocked. Sky blue for a charming acquaintance, heart red for a lover present, past, or future. Clover green for a spiteful enemy, or a rich, jammy plum for an old friend. Mustard yellow for family and, due to a slight inaccuracy with the spellwork, traveling salesmen. The day the Bloodmoons paid a visit, the door turned as black as the bottom of a well.”
Do you recognize the book these first lines come from?
