Wyrd & Wonder is “an annual geek-out over all things fantasy”, hosted by Imyril, Lisa, Jorie, Ariana and Annemieke. It’s my second time participating, I absolutely loved it last year. I’m a bit busier this time around so I’ll try to be more realistic about my goals.
The realistic goals:
- read 5 fantasy books
- watch 5 fantasy movies
- write 5 posts
- participate in the bingo
- participate in a read-along
- re-read The Lord of the Rings
- do a fantasy themed Bookish Memory Check
The optimistic goals:
- actually get a bingo
- participate in both read-alongs
- write a post every day for every challenge prompt
- watch a fantasy series
- re-read The Silmarillion
- write the next great fantasy novel
Yeah, that last one is definitely happening.
I don’t have concrete plans for what I’m going to read, other then LOTR. I want to read the Percy Jackson series as well before the new show starts so maybe I’ll give that a shot. Last year I read The Bone Shard Daughter for the read-along so maybe this year I’ll read The Bone Shard Emperor, it’s been waiting for a while. Other possibles are The Little Hatred, Kingdom of the Wicked, The Witcher series, a re-read of The Nightrunner series, and whatever I happen to pick up at the library. I have an urge to read a fae book… so maybe that. It’s so difficult to pick ahead because my mood can change anytime. I look forward to blog hopping and finding more books for my to-read list 😀
What movies you thinking of watching?
Also good luck on writing the next great fantasy novel – there’s never enough of them!

I’m definitely watching Labyrinth because it’s a classic and I’ve never seen it, everything else is undecided. Maybe one of the King Kong movies, I’ve never seen any and I’m curious but the horror element is something I usually avoid. It really all depends on what mood I’ll be in 😀

I was just thinking of re- reading The Lord of the Rings too! Good luck with these! I think Wyrd & Wonder is a great excuse to revisit Middle- earth and of course all the fantasy in general! 🙂

Go for it! It’s been a while since I’ve read the whole trilogy so I miss it. Good luck to you as well 🙂
