What did I read in 2024? It was a surprise!

“All I can do is try to ease your pain and replace the terrible memories with better ones.”

Welcome, dearies! 🐉🐍

The year is almost at an end, it might for some of you already, depending on where you are in the world. For me it is still Dec, 31st.

I was checking all the book reviews on the blog and was surprised by what I had picked up this year, mostly, “old” books but that were in my TBR since forever and I decided to read as many as I could.

Luckily, there was a dragon book in there, so the year of the Dragon was represented in my reading. For the year of the Snake (my year!) I shall see what books are out there that fit the criteria, there should be some interesting ones.

Alright, alright. I’ll begin.

Creativity like in life?

How are you creative?

This prompt is a bit broad.

I have various passions so it’s not a short answer of one thing like: writer, which I am.

I am creative by reading and imagining. Drawing at times. Designing my books covers. Creating digital content for the blog here, for social media, whether it is posts or reels. Or recordings for the podcast or vLogs about travelling and books.

I love taking photos, too, not professionally but creatively. 😆❤️

Writing is perhaps the biggest part of that creativity, I have been writing for over twenty years, wow. That’s a lot looking back on it. Writing books, short stories, blog posts, and reviews, I haven’t tried scriptwriting, but I have thought about how it would be.

So that’s how I’m creative in life. 🤭💗

And this is me promoting my craft: My Books. (A new book will be released on Dec, 31st and you can pre-order it).

My VLog.

And my podcast: EachPage Flow.

So Far: This is the truth of Harry Potter’s Upcoming Max TV Series

“Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.”

Alright, I give. 🥹

This is what is happening with the upcoming Harry Potter TV Show on Max.

Fine, I’ll talk about it if it is happening and Summer of 2025 will mark the start of the production.

I’m just saying all of this because I have seen a lot of fakes news, videos, and text around that it is simply outrageous. So, all the information here comes from the official website harrypotter.com. 📚

Spoiler Time Sunday: That one Question about Kaichou Wa Maid Sama

“You were the one who selfishly entered my world yet you immediately plunged into silence. What were you thinking?”
– Misaki Ayuzawa

Hello, dearies! ☕🥤

Welcome to the blog! This Sunday I will dedicate some time to this cool Manga and Anime.

But the spoilers come from the Manga, is it possible to have spoilers? Yes!

There are some spoilers if you haven’t read the Manga and only watched the Anime, which is pretty cool.

I loved them both.

9 Christmas Books to add to Our TBR

What is Christmas without some mystery or some rom-com? Movies or books, we rewatch or read something new.

Christmas is almost here! 🎄

Happy December, dearies!⛄️

I have already been posting this month, but since Christmas 2024 is almost upon us, then I thought to share some books I saw online that are holiday-related.

Not all of these may say Christmas or December or other things like it, but they are related to this holiday time.

You know? It is

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

I am where I said I would be, and I travelled to Seoul and got to experience autumn and a bit of winter as well. Magical was the word for the past few weeks.

So, in that sense, yes I pictured myself here and I am. 🎄🧡

My life in other senses, that is not something I am ready to examine to closely. I rather live in the moment. 🛫

10 Books with Winter in It

Winter is here, but are there books with Winter in them? Here are some… in name, at least.

Hello, dearies! ❄️

As it is December, apparently, don’t know where the rest of the months went. And in most places around the word it is Winter! Then here’s a special reading list that we might enjoy. 🏂

This is not a Christmas-related one, that will come later on, so be on the lookout.

A new ASMR experience out of this anime shopping haul is available. 🛍️🎧

Hello, dearies! 🛍️

I’m in Seoul for Autumn! And of course, I had to share some of the awesome anime-related goodies that I found, and so I did! ❤️

If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel: EachPage by Sela, then you know already what’s new, if you are not there with me, why not? 🥺

Perhaps you should and we can further connect through the love of books, manga, anime, travelling, it is all there.

Book Challenge: The Timeline Book Quest

“The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.”

Hello, dearies! 🍁

Here we are with a new challenge, at this point I should make a blog page solely for the book challenges, I have quite a few now. Should I?

Why not? 😆

Anyway, you can check out the new page of the blog with all book challenges listed on here: Book Challenges.

Created and inspired by this post.

Maybe I should I explain what this book challenge is about, I have rambled on enough. The Timeline Book Quest is about the books I have read and their years of publication or rather a list of years and checking if I read a book from that year. Let’s check it out.

Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

Which genre of book is your favourite? For me? It varies.

Hello, dearies! 🍂

Welcome to the blog and another random list of books that I have on my TBR and have not read yet because you know… life.

I have decided to go with Genres as there are various ones that I have picked up or added to my reading list over the years. I am, most of the times, am avid fantasy reader as many of you might know, it is what I live for, it is my favourite, anything can happen there and I also love writing in this genre, but it is not the only one, and of course there are many other types of genres from mystery to romance to plain old fiction that I have read and enjoyed.

So, that is why if I read a description or see a book cover that looks interesting, I added to my endless TBR and here are 10 different types of books that jump genres… mind you, some might have similar genres, but here we go.
