Spoiler Time Sunday: Horimiya’s FAQ

Hori-san to Miyamura-kun, the anime and manga that you soon discover is very cool and want to know more about.

Welcome, dearies! 🧁

A new Sunday, a new Spoiler.

Why Horimiya? Because I was looking for a photo and saw these questions that made me snort and answer in my head, and so here we are… was that convincing? Lol. It’s partly true, the other half of that is that I like talking about stuff that I like a lot and have watched a bunch of times, sue me! 😅

Anyways… I hope you are here because you want some spoilers about Kyouko and Izumi because I am going all in without a filter. 🤭

Friday Flashback: Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

“Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who’s trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made of hedgehogs.”

Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.

Hello, dearies! 🩷

Did you know I am Shadowhunter fan? No? Really? You must know, surely.

Anywho… Clockwork Angel, another one from the Shadow World that I started reading, put down, picked it up again, thought about about what it was about, tried hard to get into what was happening in those first pages, and then when I got it a bit, I started reading full-steam ahead. It was like the world opened up and dropped me in London.

Too much?

YP Books: The Story of a Reader in Seoul

Where to next? YP Books in Seoul!

Welcome, everyone! 🧳

Did you know about this new series into my bookish adventures in Seoul? I decided to go to some of the bookstores there last year, and wow 🥰 it was amazing.

The first one was for Arc n Book, there is also a haul vlog for it.

But today is about YP Books (Young Poong Books), the one in South Korea, Seoul: 168-151 Haengdang-dong Seongdong-gu. ‘Wangsimni Station’ Exit 12. There are other branches of it.

9 Books that I can easily re-read every year… some times twice a year

“The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.”
From City of Bones

Hello, dearies! 📚

Welcome to another ranting on books that not everyone might know about, but I am very attached to and like a lot, and I don’t mind re-reading them over and over, even when I have a reading list (or TBR if you prefer) the size of a town.

So, what are some books that I wouldn’t get tired of reading? You might be surprised, because I certainly was when thinking back and trying to figure out, what would be that book that I want to re-read?

And so, here I am, sharing because I am kind like that. 😆

2025: Year of The Snake 🐍 What to read?

Snake is the sixth animal in the Chinese zodiac’s 12-year cycle, following the Dragon but preceding the Horse.

Hello, dearies! This one is a bit late, yes.

But it is 2025 and it is the Year of The Snake, so what should we read? Are there books related to snakes? 🐍

You know what is the first book I am going to name, right?

I think you do.

What Sunrise on the Reaping could be like

March, 18 is getting closer each day and we expect Sunrise on the Reaping to be epic.

Hello, dearies! 🌄

As you know Sunrise on the Reaping, The Second Quarter Quell or the book about Haymitch Abernathy that we have been waiting for since we read The Hunger Games, will be released this month. But what could it be like? 🤔

Now, I have not read excerpts, many quotes, or nothing major about the book beyond the fact that it is about Haymitch, I mean when I saw the news last year that was all I needed to be convinced of reading this one. But can it live up to the hype?

10 Book Characters from Romances to Go Back to

“I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have.”
Outlander – J.F

Male Characters that is… 😏

Hello, dearies! 🙃

Because of a post on one of my favourite book characters, I realised that I haven’t updated or done a book characters from romances in like ever, I have never done it.

So, here we are… I’ll try to keep it short… even when we know that it is not my forte. 😆

Mystery of Aaravos Season 7 [The Dragon Prince]

‘…everything burns when I star dies.’

Finally finished watching the whole season! 🐉

Where do I even start? Honestly, it didn’t feel like an ending of a show or series, or this part. It felt like a season finale.

But will there be a new Dragon Prince? Or just a new show within the same universe?

Well, it is more along the lines of: Aaravos saga or arc ended here on season 7, book: Dark.

Arc n’ Book Seoul: 2024 First Impressions

Where to go in Seoul? As a Reader? Here’s Arc n Book and my experience in it for the first time! 📚😊

Hello, dearies! Welcome to a new Adventure! 📚

Last year (2024) I decided to hop on a journey of bookstores of Seoul, and Arc n’ Book was one of those that I visited. Why didn’t I visit more of these in 2023 on my first visit to the country is beyond me, but probably something to do with being awed by everything. 😸

Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

‘…have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?’

Hello, dearies! 🧵

Did you know that there is a Jane Austen Challenge going on by canterburyclassics? (This is not promoted).

There is! And I decided to go into it, starting with Jane Austen in January, true be told I didn’t finish it in Jan, but I’ll plan on continuing until the end throughout February since the challenge is month by month through 2025, and I am not really planning on doing needlework, this time. 😆

As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! ⁠That’s how they decided that this should be the perfect way to celebrate.

These are the expected month-by-month challenges:

You can still join, of course. What do you think? If I find other book challenges like so, I’ll definitely consider them, it looked like so much, and perhaps I’ll finally read all of Jane Austen’s books, because Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey sit on my shelf since forever. 😸

That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. 😊
