Carrie by Stephen King: A Book I Never Read but Feel Like I Have

As Halloween approaches, excitement is building around the new Carrie adaptation… But the original story, set in the late 70s, portrays Carrie White’s struggles with isolation and power, too…

Hello, dearies! Welcome!

Since Halloween 2026 is growing closer and the new Carrie show just came out, I decided it was time to talk…

In the new Carrie, all I know is this, that unlike the new show, the book does not take place in modern times, it is set in the late 70’s.

So this book by Stephen King was his first published one, did you know? And it is not a regular book, it mixes the story with newspaper snippets, book excerpts, and reports about what happened at the end, but do not believe me on pace or what that is like, I have not read it.

Friday Flashback: Stardust

Time to talk about one of my fav movies… that somehow doesn’t get as much buzz as it should. And also the book where it came from: Stardust.

Hello, dearies!

Have you ever liked a movie so much that you think the book cannot be possibly be bad?
Yeah, that’s me with Stardust, the movie.

This is perhaps one of my top 10 most watched movies of all time, I know it, I recognise the themes, the music, I can quote it. When I read the book? It was a whole different experience, and not in the fangirling, awesome way.

TBT: The Dream Thief

It is a tale of dragons and magic, in a country faraway from mine, and yet, I feel like I could fall into this world all over again each time I read The Dream Thief.

Hello, dearies! It is time for a new appreciation and a look back into a book that I thought I had liked from the start, but when reading the original review, I found out I had not. But after the second read, I loved it.

The Dream Thief, is book 2 in the Drakon Series by Shana Abé (one of my fav authors). And the strange thing is that I really thought I had liked it the first time as well, but it seems I found Lia annoying and the whole thing as too much explaining.

TBT: Catching Fire

The 75th Hunger Games is the closest we had to the 50th Hunger Games for a long time, and no surprise it was one of the most fav reads. Catching Fire TBT is in session!

Hello, dearies! 🔥

Are you excited about Sunrise on the Reaping? The movie is growing closer, yet, not fast enough.

With it. We keep going back to the 50th Hunger Games and of course, Haymitch, and naturally to Catching Fire (The 75th Hunger Games), in the little bit of the book when Katniss and Peeta watched the recording of Haymitch’s games as they were going on their way to The Capitol.

Anyone from Pride and Prejudice or probably Jane

If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose?

I was going to say that I would switch lives with someone from Harry Potter or from the Shadowhunters novels. But true be told that world of Pride and Prejudice calls to the calm and relaxed part of my soul, it could change next week, but if you ask me today then I’ll trade lives with Jane Bennet, as I’ll have Elizabeth as a sister and a mansion, too.

That’s all I have to say, no other reasons other than to be with my books and a simple life of walking to town, in meadowns and enjoying the fresh air. 😄😍

Season 4 of EachPage Flow is done! Are you ready to binge-watch it?

This was the season I kept admitting what I hadn’t finished, and four of the eight episodes ended with some version of “and I hadn’t gone back to it.”

Hello, dearies! Welcome!

Have you been following the podcast: EachPage Flow? If you have, thank you, if you haven’t this is your chance to begin, and it doesn’t matter which season you begin with, each episode has its own moment and style.

A DNF Book: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote a story to tell you, but a new vlog series changed that. This time it’s about a book I never finished, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and the very simple reason I closed it and never picked it back up. 📖

Hello, dearies!

It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote a story to tell you. But recently I began a new vlog series on the channel: Shelf Stories. 📖

And of course, I naturally wanted to come and tell you about it since you have been with me the longest here on the blog. So, one of the stories I have is about a book I didn’t finish, which is not my favourite kind to tell. And The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society novel is one I always think about, perhaps because I don’t like having unfinished things. 😆

The Manga and Anime Genre that Defeats the Odds and Statistics

Shonen is technically made for young boys. The audience, however, did not get that memo, me included. From Dragon Ball to Jujutsu Kaisen, here are six Shonen anime and manga that prove this genre belongs to everyone, with some data to back it up. 🏮

At least it does with me… Do you know Shonen in Manga and Anime? I do, and I love watching it and reading, and I’m not male.

Welcome, dearies! I might defy the norm at times, but this is one time that I love admitting it the most, because yes, I do love, colourful, dovey-lovey, doki-doki, kawaii stuff, I do. 🙂

That’s Shojo.

But what about its counterpart: Shonen? Well, I enjoy that very much, too.

The Philosopher’s Stone: Audiobook Review

If you enjoyed the books 10 years ago, 20 years ago, you will still love them through an Audiobook!

Hello, dearies! ⚡️

This is just an excuse for me to talk about Harry Potter once more because yes I have a review about Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, both written and spoken.

All of that said, this was quite an experience for me. I loved how Stephen Fry read the book, and many times the episodes and hours passed in a perfect blend and harmony.

Now, there were some things that I didn’t remember and they were not in the movies, of course.
