My rating: 4 ⭐️

Hello, dearies!

It took me some time, yet, again to read a Narnian book, and I enjoyed it more than The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, why? I cannot tell for sure. Have you read these books? Or better question, did you read the Narnia books in publication order or chronological order?

But what is The Horse and His Boy about, truly? The condensed version, it is about a talking horse and a boy who does not know who he is. And no, that is not spoiler as the book description says this specifically.

So, after reading the book, I was glad, but at the same time took a moment to consider whether I liked it or not, and that has been the theme with these Narnian books, this is the third one (I’m reading in chronological order), and all had been: hmm did I like it?

Honestly, yes, I am enjoying the stories, not so much the narrative, because C.S. Lewis, put my reader’s patience to the test with the strange wording and point of view.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hello, dearies! Welcome to my first ever C.S. Lewis book review. 😮

That’s right I had never read The Chronicles of Narnia or any book by this author. But I decided this year that it was time, it had gone long enough, and frankly, I opened the book and started reading without giving it too much thought.

And that was eye-opening for me. But first let me tell my first impressions of reading The Magician’s Nephew, which was not what I was expecting in many ways.

What is Bu Bu Jing Xin? The Novel

‘Zhang Xiao, a white collar worker from 21st century China, discovers that her soul has wandered back in time to the Qing Dynasty during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor and inhabited the body of a teenage Manchu girl, Ma’ertai Ruoxi.’

Hello, dearies! 📚

So I have seen some are curious about Bu Bu Jing Xin, which is literally translated as ‘Scarlet Heart‘ is the novel where Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo came from, I mentioned this on my reviews of this awesome K-Drama, but it all goes back to a book.

I don’t know much to say about it, other than what I have discovered online, so here are my findings.

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. 📖

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.

Hogwarts Lifestyle be Like

“Don’t let the Muggles get you down.”

Hello, dearies! 🎮

Do you like Hogwarts? 😆

I do have to ask sometimes, some may not be as Potterheads as the rest of us.

If you have been to my YouTube then you might have watched already my new videos of my life in Hogwarts… Legacy the game. Lol. Sorry, yeah it’s not like I visited the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I wish. No, I’ve been playing Hogwarts Legacy and I have a couple of new videos on my Channel if you want to check them out.

The Idhun Chronicles: About the Music of Chris Tara

Do you know about the songs from Idhún? These books also included several wonderful songs by one of the main characters… and it’s all here!

Hello, dearies! 🎶

You know my obsession (love for books) with Idhún is real, so here we are once more… the music in the book is enticing and powerful.

This post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read the books or don’t know about the story. 📚🩷

You have been warned. ⚠️

A Storm of Swords: Flashback

“Old stories are like old friends, she used to say. You have to visit them from time to time.”

Genres: Fiction, Fantasy,

Series: A Song of Ice and Fire Book #3

Friday Flashback (Flashback Friday)

I had some confusion going with this one and A Clash of Kings. Don’t know why, don’t how that happened. Perhaps because I read all three books in a row. A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and this one A Storm of Swords.

A Game of Thrones: Flashback

Series: A Song of Ice and Fire #1

Hello, dearies! 👑

I realized that I don’t have a proper post for A Song of Ice and Fire Book 1, aka, A Game of Thrones.

Of course, I have my very special A Song of Ice and Fire page and a book review for A Dance with Dragons. But the other books I read all in one go and so fast, and so, not putting down this book type of way that well, it all kind of blended together, and then I watched Game of Thrones, so that didn’t help matters. It all just cooled down.
