    The Manga and Anime Genre that Defeats the Odds and Statistics

    At least it does with me… Do you know Shonen in Manga and Anime? I do, and I love watching it and reading, and I’m not male.

    Welcome, dearies! I might defy the norm at times, but this is one time that I love admitting it the most, because yes, I do love, colourful, dovey-lovey, doki-doki, kawaii stuff, I do. 🙂

    That’s Shojo.

    But what about its counterpart: Shonen? Well, I enjoy that very much, too.

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to another Narnia review!

    As you might know I am reading the Narnia books, Prince Caspian, book 4 in the Series (Chronological order) was the one I had been expecting to read the most, probably because of the movie, probably because it seemed like that interesting shift into a different Narnia.

    Oh, spoilers alert btw, so if you don’t know about the story or haven’t watched the movies, be warned there will be spoilers.

    So, I wanted to read Prince Caspian since I started with The Magician’s Nephew, but by the time I finished reading this book, I literally said: come on!

    Let me tell you what happened.

    The Horse and His Boy [Book Review]

    Author: C.S. Lewis

    Genres: Fantasy, Classics, Fiction, Young Adult

    Series: The Chronicles of Narnia Book #3

    (Chronological Order)

    Year published: 1954

    Page count: 224 pages (Paperback)

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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.
