The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones the first Shadowhunter Novel.
Hello, dearies! ➰
It’s me Sela, I don’t normally introduce myself like that. 😳But sometimes, there’s someone new on the blog, so hello! 👋
Today’s special spoiler time Sunday, will be for City of Bones, which is book #1 in The Mortal Instruments series, I basically answered one of the outrageous questions I saw online. Is there a number 2 of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones? Yes, duh. It’s called City of Ashes. Would Cassie Clare had gone out of her way to write such great characters just to leave it at one book?
As the gathering storm between rivals unleashes irresistible passion that flares white-hot and the heat of the battle brings life-shattering realisations, can Sable place her duty before her heart?
Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Supernatural… Romance (oh, I already said that) 😏

Hello, dearies! 😈
Welcome to a new book review, this time for Claimed by a Demon King, book #2 in the Eternal Mates series (I would say saga, there are a lot of books).
By the title and the cover of the book you might guess what’s this is about… yes, romance adult fantasy book, do not leave it out where anyone can see, keep it away from underage readers. Is that type.
“Old stories are like old friends, she used to say. You have to visit them from time to time.”
Author: George RR Martin

Series: A Song of Ice and Fire Book #3
Friday Flashback (Flashback Friday)
I had some confusion going with this one and A Clash of Kings. Don’t know why, don’t how that happened. Perhaps because I read all three books in a row. A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings,and this one A Storm of Swords.
Today, I’ll answer one big question from The Idhun Chronicles, is there romance there? Or is it just fantasy? It’s spoiler time!
Hello, dearies! 📖➡️
Here we are once more on a Sunday and with some spoilers.
I’ll dive right into it because there’s no time like the present, I started this section with some spoilers from the Wizarding World, you can check it out on that link you just pass it. 👀
So, if you’re an avid reader of my blog, you might know that I’m a big fan of The Idhun Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún), a Spanish trilogy by author Laura Gallego. But I have seen a question going around that it’s big spoiler, well, I have seen a couple but today I’ll answer this one: Is there romance in The Idhun Chronicles?
This is a funny one for me, because what do you mean, people on the internet? Anyway, the short answer is this: Yes, there is romance in The Idhún Chronicles.
Now, for the long answer, which contains many spoilers and if you haven’t read the books but intent on reading, then this post is not for you. I mean it, you can stop reading here and thank you for stopping by.
New Section dedicated to those difficult questions and moments that would give away a book and how it all ends.
Hello, dearies! 📆
Welcome to a new segment? Special? Section? Category? Anyway, welcome to this new special, I’ll go with special. Spoiler Time Sunday, as the name indicates this will be about spoiler. 😎
Now, if you have read some of my book reviews you might know that I don’t like spoilers, giving them or receiving them, but sometimes I get questions or people come to the blog because they want spoilers, so I decided to oblige the masses and talk occasionally about a specific thing in a book, manga, or anime (movies and shows?) that would be considered a big plot twist, a change, something that cannot be viewed as anything but spoiler in my eyes. 😄
For this prompt I was going to say Dragons, but some would say that the question is about an animal you find right now and not a “mythical” ones then well I went with my second favourite. 😉
Though, not just a domestic cat. I like all felines, specially the snow leopard or ounce. That is the name yes.
In one of my books I refer this leopard too, in comparison with a person, thought I haven’t published that book yet. I left that part in when I was rewritten it because I do love this animal.
So, if you get me anything in a cat, feline, leopard (not clothes) related way, a toy or a notebook or phone case, I would probably love it and treasure forever. It’s the way to my heart. 😄😺
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.
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.
Blog ReCap 2023
January
Nothing much happened in Jan 2023, I was planning a lot for the year. And I watched the movie Bubble.
February
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.
March
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.
April
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.
May
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.
June
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.
July
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.
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.
October
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.
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.
“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. 🎇
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.
