Friday Flashback: Charmed

‘Just because I protect the innocent doesn’t mean I have to be innocent all of the time.’ Phoebe Halliwell

I should have known this would be coming. But I didn’t.

Hello, dearies! This is Sela! 😎

I haven’t started a post like that in… hold on, I don’t think I ever started one of my posts like that, but here we are. That is in case you didn’t know my name already.

Anyway, welcome to a new Friday Flashback, featuring one of my favourite TV shows of all time: Charmed.

The story of three sister witches, and then three half-sisters witches who fight evil because that’s apparently their destiny, but all they want is a normal life since that’s something that most witches and other supernatural have in common, while we the mortals, want nothing but the unconventional and magical life. 🪄

Oh my…

아, 진지하… (Seriously)

Hello, dearies! 📺

Honestly, I went from oh, my… to, seriously? 👀

I didn’t know before jumping into Memories of the Alahambra that it ended on basically a cliffhanger, and that was it. So, I’m telling you straight up so you know when you start watching it.

A Day with a Soul from the Past

Who would you bring from the past and what would you show them?

Hello, dearies!

I was recently asked who would I bring back for a day, if I had 24 hours, who would I bring back, and what would I do with them or what would I show them.

Now, I thought this would take me forever to think through, but surprisingly, it came to me very fast, Jane Austen, I mean, getting to know her and showing her how writing has evolved since her time? I think that’d be cool. 👀

5 Romance Books to Start the Burn

“Throughout our lives, no one could figure out how we were so close, but when friendships begin with cupcakes—chocolate, at that—no truer bond develops.”

Hello, dearies! 💞

I hope you have a fan on you… poor joke, I know.

I decided to continue the ball rolling with the listings and recommend some awesome romance books that deserve more recognition. If you are feeling a bit on the fence about reading romance, then you might start your journey with these authors, it’s where I started and they didn’t disappoint.

Series: The Vampire Diaries

Book: The Awakening

Author: L.J Smith

This one won’t be easy.

Hello, dearies! 🦇

While I love The Vampire Diaries series, because I do, I think that out of the YA vampire books I’ve read or tried to, this is my favourite because the Salvatore brothers, I mean the story behind it is cool.

But, the first four books of the Series are not on my 5 stars list, the last 3 books on the other hand, yes, I can get behind and the story there it’s just great.

Flashback: Onyx

“His lips tipped up one side and he leaned toward me, his mouth inches from mine. “Come and get it.”

Hello, dearies!

Today’s Flashback is more an I Wish I could Read this Book as if it Were the First Time.

So, Onyx. Do you know the Lux Series? This is book 2 in the series, I have talked a bit about them in the past, back when I first read them and loved them so much.

TBT: Gilmore Girls

“Well, you know my babbling capabilities are infinite.”

Hi, dearies! ☕

Wow, where do I even start with this one? Gilmore Girls is a freaking religion on its own, and if you’re a fan like me then you know that one little post won’t do it justice.

I re-watch Gilmore Girls at least once a year, it just happens, sometimes twice, skipping some episodes at times and others watching the whole thing.

Ginny Weasley

“Well, that was a bit stupid of you, seeing as you don’t know anyone but me who’s been possessed by You-Know-Who.”

Youngest member of the Weasley Family

Hello, dearies! 🧙‍♀️

It’s been a while since a did a book character special, so what better way of coming back to it than with Ginny Weasley, right?

I mean who doesn’t love Ginny? No seriously, who doesn’t? Nah, I’m joking 🤭 everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

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.
