  • Just one Book?

    Just one Book?

    What book could you read over and over again?

    How about 9 Books to re-read? Because I have that list all set up and ready if you want book recommendations, you can check out that post on the blog.

    But long story short, it is a variety of fantasy, romance, and young adult.

    So, any Shadowhunter Novel and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince are top in the re-reading list. Don’t be so shocked, if you spent some time here on the blog, you’ll see those worlds have a special place in it.

  • Reading is the job

    Reading is the job

    What job would you do for free?

    I do already… so yes, I read for free.

    But if got books for free or got advanced copies that would be even better, I don’t in case you were wondering. I absolutely enjoy reading and talking about books, so that is what I do every week.

    That said, I do have my YouTube Channel with the podcast (also on Spotify), I do have Booktok where I have created book filters, and my Bookstagram is filled with more bookish love than I can handle sometimes.

  • Is Horimiya an acquired taste or an innate one?

    Is Horimiya an acquired taste or an innate one?

    Hello, everyone! πŸ’¬

    I was going to do this and discuss whether Horimiya was an acquired taste or not, but looking further into that expression and what actually means, it might have been an innate taste for me.

    So, an acquired taste is when you get accustomed to something after going over and over to it, right? And that might be the case for some.

    Spoiler Time Sunday: Horimiya’s FAQ

    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! πŸ˜…

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

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

    Hello, dearies! πŸ“š

    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. πŸ˜†

    What Sunrise on the Reaping could be like

    Hello, dearies! πŸŒ„

    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? πŸ€”

    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?
