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.

Friday Flashback: The Neverending Story

“People who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control has the power.”

Woah! I went back a lot with this one. 📺

I rewatched this movie (The NeverEnding Story) countless time when I was a kid, could be one of the first fantasy ones that got to me.

It has everything…

But did you know that this is a book adaptation? Yes! It is for a 1979 novel, called The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, and it is German. 📖

Spoiler Time Sunday: Victoria’s Twilight

Who is Victoria in the Twilight Series? That can’t be a real question, but sometimes it is… so today, I’ll answer it.

Welcome, dearies! 👩‍🦰

This will also act as a Book Character special since the spoiler focus on Victoria from the Twilight Series, the red-haired vampire, who Rachelle Lefevre brought to live so perfectly. #sorrynotsorry but Bryce Dallas Howard couldn’t compete with the character as Rachelle had it.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo [Revamped Review]

Welcome! I watched it again! 🏰

I had to watch Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo again, and it lives rent-free in my mind.

Of course, I had to come back here and share with you all as I know you love this show and so do I, here we are once more. 😄

Cast: IU, Lee Joon-gi, Nam Joo-hyuk, Ji Soo, Kang Ha-neul, Kim San-ho, Hong Jong-hyun, Yoon Sun-woo, Byun Baek-hyun

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder: Show’s First Impressions

What is the show about? Solving a mystery. Is this new Emma Myers’ show a book? It is! And after watching A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder these were my thoughts on it…

Adaptation: Yes

Where? Netflix

Available? Yes

Main Cast: Emma Myers as Pippa. Zain Iqbal as Ravi.
Rahul Pattni as Sal. Mathew Baynton as Elliot. India Lillie Davies as Andie. Carla Woodcock as Becca. Asha Banks as Cara Ward.

Original Book: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🔎

Have you watched A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder on Netflix? I have, it’s only 6 episodes so it passes by really quickly, just think of it as a 6 hours movie that resembles the book a lot, and it is for fans because I don’t think that those that are not fans would enjoy it quite as much.

The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos Season 6

‘We are, all of us, stardust… held together by love, for an instant.’

Hello, dearies! ⭐

Is out! You can watch it now! ⏯️

It’s awesome!!! 🐲

I didn’t think they could keep improving or remain the same level of cool in the story… but I was wrong. The Dragon Prince Season 6 is just as binge-worthy as the rest of it. In fact you could and should watch it all from the start and not get tired of it.

But today is about The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos Season 6, book 6: Stars. That is one long name, so if I say TDP or Mystery of Aaravos, you will know what I’m referring to.

Now, some spoilers without context, or some comments that could be spoilers. All of which came from when I was watching each episode.

Game of Thrones Spin-Offs Fans Would Watch Over ‘Dunk and Egg’

A new show is coming in 2025 related to GOT, HoTD and ASOIAF, but who is this knight and why make a story of him? Wouldn’t another story be better? Perhaps.

Hello, everyone! ⭐

Welcome to a Special from the pages of GOT and ASOIAF. 🐲

There are spoilers here if you don’t know about the stories related to A Song Of Ice and Fire, but only have watched House of The Dragon or Game of Thrones. 👑

I saw the trailer, tease or whatever you want to call it for Max’s new TV Series (Show) related to ‘Dunk and Egg’, which is a side-side-side story related to A Song of Ice and Fire, and somewhat mentioned (very little) on Game of Thrones. It’ll be called: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and it will premiere sometime in 2025.

Katy Swartz

“Starting over sucks.”

It’s not easy talking about Katy without spoilers, so be prepared for it.

Spoilers ahead.

If you have not read any of the books in the Lux saga, or you only read Obsidian than this is not for you, unless you’re here because you want to know what happens from book 3 onwards, which is around the time that Katy starting to be cooler. 📖

I’ll start now. ⤵️

Final Countdown for Smashwords Book Deals [July Summer Sale]

Looking for a new book? I saw some cool ones on Smashwords for their annual book July Summer Sale.

Hi, dearies! 📑

Do you know Smashwords? 🤔

They often have these book sales or deals, where you can find even a free book or a few. But there are some with 25%, 50%, or 75% discount. If you have seen some of my others book listings here on the blog then you already knew that. lol.

In any case, I was browsing the lists and these books caught my eyes. (This is not a promotion, I just like sharing Smashwords book deals).
