Books Set in the UK Challenge

“Be with me always – take any form – drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!”

Hi, dearies!

As I enjoyed doing one of small towns, I decided to go over to Europe and enjoy the scenery in the UK, not just London or Oxford, but other parts will count as well in this book challenge.

I have read a few books either by British authors or US authors that decided to set the book across seas, so I remembered that I have read some of those and let’s see if I can name a few.

Books Set in Small Towns: Challenge Edition

“What are you out here for at this time of night?”

Hello, dearies! 📖

I feel like I don’t say that enough in the past few months. Hope you’re a returning book lover, who likes my blog, but if you’re new, welcome!

Today, I thought and thought about what to write for my next post, and realised that it has been a while since I did a book challenge, so here we are. What better way to show love for books the thinking through all the books you have read in life, and trying to remember the town they were set in, right? Wrong, it’s nerve-wracking because the more you think about it, the less the memories come to you.

Friday Flashback: The Dragon Prince Season 3

‘Careful. If you tell the truth, you will lose her; you will need her soon.’

Where? Netflix

What is it about? Not all about dragons, no.

Genres? Fantasy, Magic, Elves, Dragons, Humans.

Hello, dearies! 🐲

This one is not really a throwback for me because I “recently” re-watched the whole show up until season 4, which I think is awesome, and that The Dragon Prince just keeps getting better and better, but I’ll stay focused and restrict this one to Season 3 because I realised I didn’t have an entry for it.

I don’t have one for season 1 either, but that can be another week.

The Dragon Prince season 3, what happened on this one? Should I go with some spoilers? I don’t think I can talk about it much without some, so if you haven’t watched it yet, then don’t read, and if you are here for all the details on this season, I’ll only give a few, so enjoy those.

HP and the Half-Blood Prince

“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”

Series: Harry Potter

Book #6The Half-Blood Prince

Author: JK Rowling

Genre: YA, fantasy, magic, drama

I’ve been waiting to talk about this one.

Hello, dearies! ⚡

The Half-Blood Prince was not going to be this week’s Throwback Thursday, but here we are, TBT with this Potter book.

I love the whole Harry Potter saga, I think that’s clear after me taking the time to talk about each book, but The Half-Blood Prince made me re-read it a few times when it first came out, and it soon became a favourite book.

After reading it, I had to wait for The Deathly Hallows, so I had to keep going back to The Half-Blood Prince for more.

Let us begin. 🔮

I’ll jump right in, and perhaps go back and forward, so please be patient with my upcoming rambling.

Bubble

The story is set in Tokyo, after bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world. Cut off from the outside world, Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building.

Title: バブル (Hepburn: Baburu) – Bubble

Year: 2022

Where? Netflix. 📺

What is it? A movie. 📽️

Genres: Post-apocalyptic, YA, adventure.

Alright, so I sometimes do Anime related ones here as you might know. And Bubble deserved an entry.

It’s one of the best animated movies I’ve watched in the past three years. So charming, so heart throbbing and heartbreaking, and lovely and wowing, all at the same time.

Book Characters to Hug

“He had known this was inevitable.”
The Queen’s Army

Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🤗📚

I know you like these characters as much as I do, if you don’t then you should, for real, go read these books and fall for these characters, it’s worth it.

If you are just curious, be prepared for a rambling of almost epic proportions. This post will probably make no sense, and this is a warning to bail while you can.

Thank you for staying! 💖

At times, I feel the uncontrollable need to reach inside a book, pull the characters out and hug them, bare in mind I’ll keep to the male ones, just because that’s how it is.
