The Idhun Chronicles: About the Music of Chris Tara

Do you know about the songs from Idhún? These books also included several wonderful songs by one of the main characters… and it’s all here!

Hello, dearies! 🎶

You know my obsession (love for books) with Idhún is real, so here we are once more… the music in the book is enticing and powerful.

This post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read the books or don’t know about the story. 📚🩷

You have been warned. ⚠️

EachPage Flow: Season 1 Recap

Have you listened to the podcast? Is available now! 😊🩷

Hello, dearies! 🎧

I know, I must be doing this backwards somehow, but here’s a recap of season 1 of the podcast: EachPage Flow.

You can listen to the full season now on YouTube or Spotify. Don’t forget to follow and share so it keeps coming up in your feed.

Season 1 Recap

Emma Carstairs

Who is Emma Carstairs? I hope this answers your question… she is awesome and she is a Shadowhunter.

And I thought that Izzy Lightwood was a badass, Emma took the prize and made me rethink it all.

When I first read Lady Midnight, I was not expecting to find such a wonderfully created character as Emma.

Before that, when I read City of Heavenly Fire, I don’t think I paid much attention, Emma was there and she was cool but I was focused on the Blackthorns. But then came the trilogy that changed all of that. I still love the Blackthorns, don’t get me wrong but Emma Carstairs is just a big part of it as well…

2014 Reads

So, what was on the TBR back in 2014? I can barely recall what I read last year, but let’s give it a go! 😊🩷

Wow! 2014, ten years ago? You’re joking…

It’s still 2021 for me. 😆

What books were out in 2014? I can’t even remember, I was probably reading a Shadowhunters book, I think I started around that time.

This one acts as a Flashback Friday too since we’re remembering all of these books. 😊

Also, fun fact, 2014 was the Year of The Horse. 🐎

And, of course, don’t forget to check out 2009 Reads and 2011 Reads.

EachPage Flow: New Season of the Podcast has Premiered

Welcome! A new season of the podcast is ready to be heard on YT! 🎧🩷

Hello, dearies! ⏯️

Have you listened to the podcast? If you haven’t you still can!

Season 1 is about books. 🩷

Season 2 of my podcast EachPage Flow is now live on YouTube and Spotify, and it is dedicated to Manga.

The Only Cookbook I would consider buying: Stardew Valley

‘Welcome to Stardew Valley, where each season brings a new crop of bountiful food to make for friends and family. From farm staples like veggies, fruit, milk, and eggs to foraged mushrooms and berries to fresh fish, there’s always something delicious to put on the table.’

Hello, dearies! 📖🍴

Stardew Valley upcoming cookbook, official book and filled with all the recipes. Is Darn cute and I want one.

Alas, I saw it recently and I can’t get it on Amazon because they don’t freaking ship to my country? What is this, the 1500? Oh wait, that has nothing to do with it, there has been methods of transportation since forever.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I will have to go look for it on Barnes and Noble or somewhere else, know of a good one? Let me know.

What is a Novel of Manners?

Ever wonder what Pride and Prejudice and The Portrait of a Lady had in common? Did you know they are Novel of Manners? They are! And this is what it all means! 📖

Hello, dear readers! 🫰

Welcome to a new bookish ramble! 📖

I know it might be obvious or it might be something you have never heard of, so here we are chatting about a book genre from yonder* times.

*Yonder is not really the right word there, that’s for a distance like “at some distance in the direction indicated”. End of lesson. 😄

So, I already know what a novel of manners is, but when I first posted my Pride and Prejudice review, I didn’t know the term. And now, I’m here to share it with you all, in case you were wondering about it, or just want to check some old books.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder: NEWS!

“Pip wished she was strong enough, but she’d learned that she wasn’t invincible; she too could break.”

Hello, dearies! 👋

Did you read A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder? Book 1… I did and I liked for sure. I did the book review here and a podcast in case you just want to hear about the book. It’s EP. 5 of EachPage Flow (that’s my podcast) is on YouTube and Spotify.

But that’s not the news I have today, there’s an upcoming A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder television show. Netflix has the rights and everything because, of course.

Flashback: Songs inspired by GOT and ASOIAF

Are we still waiting for new GOT books? Yes. So what to do while we wait? Let’s check out some tunes that were inspired by GOT and ASOIAF. It’s the least we can do.

Hi, dearies! 🎧

I suppose you have seen or rather heard some songs that remind you of Game of Thrones, and did you think, hey, was this song written or inspired by GOT? I sure did a couple of times.

This post will also act as a Friday Flashback because well, it is Game of Thrones we are talking about after all. And A Song of Ice and Fire, which is not over yet but let’s face it, we have been waiting forever to read the sequel to A Dance with Dragons.

Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

‘Possessed by a need to save a beautiful Amazon warrior from the vision he witnessed, Loke snatched her from the midst of the battle between the Third and Fifth realm of the demons, and carried her to his home deep in the black mountains of Hell to protect her.’

Series: Eternal Mates

Author: Felicity Heaton

Genres: Dragons, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Urban

That title sounds a bit stronger than the book actually is…

It took me a while to finish to be honest.

But the last 10% it came rolling back to life.

Also, one chapter was dedicated entirely to introducing a new character and get your attention to another book. It was too obvious but it did the job because I added that book to my TBR 😅😆. I’m a sucker for fantasy, angels, and romances. As I have previously stated on these reviews about the Eternal Mates Series.

Hello, dearies! I might end up reading all 19 books one day. For now, I’m mixing and jumping among them, even when I usually like to read books in order, this particular series can be read like this almost without problem.

Well, it hadn’t been such a problem so far until this one where there were some characters that I knew who they were but didn’t know they ended up together, so spoilers for me. 🥹🥲 But it’s alright, I brought that on myself for skipping books.
