It’s a New Year! ✨️
Welcome, dearies! 🐲
This is the official first post of the year 2024. Since this the Year of The Dragon, and one of my favourite creatures (animals?) then I have decided to create a reading list of Books that have dragons or shifters 😏 in them.
And as a challenge to myself (you can join in as well) I will do my best to read all of these books this 2024.

It’s a new Year, dearies! 🐲
I saw this prompt and immediately thought of books, but to make more into the ‘greatest’ gift, I’d say a first edition of a classic like Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, or Frankenstein.
But I would take any book to be honest.
A Box Set with a saga or a trunk full of books. I’m not picky, yet, for some reason, I don’t get that many books as gifts. My fellow readers have gifted me gift cards from bookstores and I have done the same, but my family gifts me anything but… perhaps one time or twice.
So, the greatest gift someone could give me, would be a book. Paperback or Hardback, I’d take it. 😎📚
How did 2023 went down for the blog? What did I post this year? What did I have to share with you all? From Jan to Dec is all here! 😊
Happy New Year, dearies! ✈️🎇🧨
First post of the year 2024! 📲📚
There were some exciting new developments in 2023. The Podcast: EachPage Flow, was officially launched. 9 Episodes are live now (when this was published). My YouTube channel is now available, too. Lots of travel vlogs from my Seoul first trip.
I started creating more content for TikTok, I hope you enjoy those as well.
But, this is about the blog, I know. So, what happened in the blog this year? I was surprised about it, looking back on the old posts, there was a lot.
Nothing much happened in Jan 2023, I was planning a lot for the year. And I watched the movie Bubble.
Feb was about some good book challenges, I focused on the small town and UK setting for those book listings. And my thoughts of HP and The Half-Blood Prince came to life.
This month started with my love for book characters and because I remember how much I like Ginny Weasley. I continued my TBT and Flashback Friday specials. Gilmore Girls and Onyx (Lux Series) were featured.
I was in South Korea. But I still had some entries, maybe I was inspired by my trip. You can check some of it on my Travel VLog.
TBT for The Awakening (that is the first book in The Vampire Diaries series). And then I decided to list good books to get started with romance, fantasy, and mystery. I was feeling generous like that.
I finally finished reading The Keeper: A Stars Above Story, this is the first one (?) in the Stars Above compilation of stories for The Lunar Chronicles. Also in May, I watched Memories of the Alhambra and loved it!
And I finished reading The Lost Book of the White, that was something else. All Shadowhunter books are something else for me.
Mid-year and I read Lock Every Door, which was not my favourite to be honest. I did a special post for my Father’s Day. And dedicated time to Charmed, one of my all-time binge-watch comfort shows.
Oh, there was also the very special 10 Years of Blogging anniversary for me. Thank you again for being here.
Starting strong with A Game of Thrones Flashback. But also 50 Shades Darker flashback, that one was honest. This month I just talked about old reads, there was also The Secret Adversary and my final HP special with The Deathly Hallows.
Cannot believe it was in August that I started watching Jujutsu Kaisen seems like yesterday.
Now, I’m obsessed with it.
Anyway, I also did some book challenges in August. And a Manga listing because I had to recommend some good Manga.
I watched Love Again and talked about Patch Cipriano, dedicating a book characters entry to him because, have you read Hush Hush? He’s too much.
I did talk about Hush Hush on the Podcast.
I created my first book filter for TikTok. And because Halloween was around the corner, of course I did a Mystery book listing and an Autumn books special too. It was fun.
But the most important thing, I finished watching Fruits Basket (2019 Anime) for the first time and was completely in love with it. I still am, it’s great, so of course I read the Manga and watched the 2001 anime version, which I thought was insane and irrelevant.
November was a slow month for posting. But I watched THG: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. And that was an honest review I did for the movie.
I didn’t finish reading Dune in November, but I did post the review for it.
Also, I have a new filter on TikTok for Dystopian Books. A little challenge for book lovers there, in case you want to create new content for your booktok.
Special Christmas-related book listing, and a new Flashback for A Clash of Kings.
“He who hurries through life hurries to his grave.”
And that was my 2023 Blog Recap for EachPage, I hope you enjoyed this quick trip down memory lane, I certainly did because I didn’t think I’ll have as many entries and some months as I did. Although, I have been trying to publish more, but work and other social media keep me busy, as well as my writing. That’s another fun fact for September that I forgot, I published a new book: Behind the Tree Line.
That’s all, dearies! Thank you for sticking to the end and Happy New Year once more. 🎇
Hello, dearies! 📚💜
I usually don’t go this way and while 2023 was slow in terms of reading lengthy or any size of books, I still have some that I wanted to share with you all.
Let’s go. 🤗

The year is coming to an end. 2024 is around the corner.
What did I watch this year? Surprisingly, I feel like I watched more things this year than the last.
I’ll dive right into it… this one will be short.
My year started good with this one.
Alright, I caved and watched Wednesday. And yes, it was good.
I think my expectations were high, even when I knew they shouldn’t be.
Always nice to see Park Shin-Hye, she’s pretty.
The amount of time I spent and will spent in the future re-watching Fruits Basket, it’s not normal. I loved the story even when it’s so dramatic and traumatic. And the characters are awesome, too.
I just wanted it to be over. It was a complete disaster, and so different from the Manga, specially how they wrapped it up.
It’s been a ride to watch and continue to watch every week.
Yes, I’m aware this movie is from last year but I hadn’t watched it.
Very aware that it took me a year to watch, yes.
I almost forgot AOT the final episodes, or however it is styled. The final chapters of Attack on Titan. It was very hard to watch, and at the same time very moving.
Honourable Mentions
Mostly because I forgot for a sec…
And I am positive that I’m missing a bunch of shows and movies, but these are the ones that I remember the most. 😆
Thank you for reading, dearies! And I hope your new year eve and day are great! 🎇😊
What did I read this year? In 2023 there were a lot of books in my hands and a lot of Manga, too. But it was a year of Manga in the end, although there were some re-read and new mystery books that I finished. It was a journey.
Hello, dearies! 📚📲
The year 2023 is coming to an end, and I feel like I didn’t read as much I would have other years, but I did because those Manga are long, and even I read them fast it’s still a lot. Though my TBR pile continues to grow and continues to look at me with a longing gaze because I haven’t gone through half of it yet, but it’s my goal next year to read more.
Let’s begin with my what I read in 2023 list though, you might find something you’ll love in it.
(started reading, haven’t finished the ones available)
I’m still reading this one, but I started after the Shibuya incident started (season 2 of JJK) and I couldn’t wait week by week to know what would happen so I started reading and now I am beyond the anime, I know a lot of things that are going to happen next.
If you read The Lunar Chronicles and love it, then this is definitely a most-read, though I do recommend reading after finishing TLC.
Ah, the shadow world, and my obsession with Shadowhunters and Warlocks, and everything in it. The Lost Book of the White just adds to that.
Yeah, I read it. And yes it was alright.
I fell down the rabbit hole and didn’t want to come back out from it at all.
Fruits Basket (2019), checked. Fruits Basket (Manga), checked. Even Fruits Basket (2001 ver), checked. And only 1 conclusion, I have a serious problem with toxic characters but also with protecting damaged ones. It’s a 50-50 thing.
It was a long read, I won’t deny it and sometimes I didn’t think I would make it, but I pushed through it and beyond the storm there were some interesting things about this book that I really enjoyed.
“Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.”
If you follow my blog, you might know already that I don’t have a review for this one. And well, that’s all you need to know about what I thought of the book.
I loved this so much last year that I had to have it on my bookshelf and well, I re-read it too. The first three volumes at least.
I like L❤️DK, but there’s something about it that doesn’t convince me 100%. I still re-read the first 2 volumes and enjoyed it, too. I haven’t finished the whole series though.
I think this was this year, but I can’t remember exactly when… it still a good re-read no matter when. Lux is a favourite series.
I’m sure that I’m missing some re-reads, but these are the books that I read this year. Did you read any of these as well? Let me know in the comments.
Don’t forget to stop by my social media, too, for some fun moment from books, Manga and Anime.
Thank you for reading, dearies!
Happy end of December! 😊❄️

I’m completely mental. Hello, dearies! 🕶️
Just wanted to say that because I thought for a while that A Storm of Swords was book 2 and not A Clash of Kings, and I was even going to post about book 3 as 2, had the whole thing set up until I went to check the quotes for it.
But as I can barely remember this book, other than Dany going through the world, trying to find a place for her people and following a red comet in the sky and everyone seeing the comet all book long. Since that’s all I remember, I have decided to look up some stuff online about it and related to you here.

Hello, dearies! 🐫
Today is one that I finished last month (I think). Dune, this was a long read, such a very long read, but I got through it! 👏🥳Good for me!
So, Dune, have you watched the new Dune movie with handsome Timothy Chamlet? I have, of course, about 3 times by now, might watch it again before the second part releases next year. But that’s not why we are here, and no, I haven’t watched the other Dune movie. 1984?
