Friday Flashback: The Neverending Story

“People who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control has the power.”

Woah! I went back a lot with this one. 📺

I rewatched this movie (The NeverEnding Story) countless time when I was a kid, could be one of the first fantasy ones that got to me.

It has everything…

But did you know that this is a book adaptation? Yes! It is for a 1979 novel, called The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, and it is German. 📖

TBT: The Smoke Thief

‘Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret—and their survival—is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary.’

Hello, dearies! 🐲

It’s been a while since I did a TBT, but recently I have been feeling that longing to re-read a good book and one that I have loved for a while is The Smoke Thief by Shana Abé.

This was the first book I read by this author I think 10 years ago or so, wow! I did not expect to think back and see that it has been that long since I first picked up and only after a small description and learning that it was about dragons, that was more than enough for me.

Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

‘A powerful warrior and commander of the dark elf legions, Bleu is a loyal and devoted male, and one who has never failed in anything—except one thing. Love…’

Maybe I set my expectations too high.

Perhaps I thought too much while reading it.

Or simply Bleu was not what I was expecting but this had all the potential.

Book Title: Possessed by a Dark Warrior

Book Series: Eternal Mates #9

Author: Felicity Heaton

Genres: Romance. Demons. Shapeshifters. Paranormal. Fantasy.

Page Count: 453 pages

4 ⭐

4 stars and I am being generous. I have a soft spot for elves as you might know from my other reviews of these series. And I like romance fantasy, however, there was something not quite there and I cannot wrap my finger around it.

Spoiler Time Sunday: Victoria’s Twilight

Who is Victoria in the Twilight Series? That can’t be a real question, but sometimes it is… so today, I’ll answer it.

Welcome, dearies! 👩‍🦰

This will also act as a Book Character special since the spoiler focus on Victoria from the Twilight Series, the red-haired vampire, who Rachelle Lefevre brought to live so perfectly. #sorrynotsorry but Bryce Dallas Howard couldn’t compete with the character as Rachelle had it.

Marked by an Assassin [Eternal Mates #8] Book Review

That book was not what I was expecting… sadly.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

I have finished reading another Eternal Mates book, number 8 this time. Marked by an Assassin. At first I was not going to read this one, but I wanted to know something so I went back to it, I should, maybe, perhaps, followed my first instinct.

Original Book: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🔎

Have you watched A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder on Netflix? I have, it’s only 6 episodes so it passes by really quickly, just think of it as a 6 hours movie that resembles the book a lot, and it is for fans because I don’t think that those that are not fans would enjoy it quite as much.

My Happy Marriage Vol. 2 – Light Novel Review

‘Miyo thought she would spend the rest of her days as Kiyoka’s fiancée in peace. But when horrible visions begin to assail her night after night, she gradually starts to break down.’

Welcome, dearies! 💒

I finished reading MHM vol. 2 on Aug 8th, 2024, but couldn’t make it here to you for a few days.

So, here’s my new light novel review: My Happy Marriage Vol. 2. For the first volume of MHM, check out the review here.

It took me some time to finish, considering the length of it…

The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos Season 6

‘We are, all of us, stardust… held together by love, for an instant.’

Hello, dearies! ⭐

Is out! You can watch it now! ⏯️

It’s awesome!!! 🐲

I didn’t think they could keep improving or remain the same level of cool in the story… but I was wrong. The Dragon Prince Season 6 is just as binge-worthy as the rest of it. In fact you could and should watch it all from the start and not get tired of it.

But today is about The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos Season 6, book 6: Stars. That is one long name, so if I say TDP or Mystery of Aaravos, you will know what I’m referring to.

Now, some spoilers without context, or some comments that could be spoilers. All of which came from when I was watching each episode.

Hello, dearies! Welcome to this full review of Namaikizakari.

It was the best ending for this romance/sports manga. Yuki and Shō are really my favourite.

I can’t remember when I first started reading it but I do remember that after that first chapter I had to continue.
