  • The Alchemist

    The Alchemist

    Portuguese: O Alquimista

    Spanish: El Alquimista

    Author: Paulo Coelho

    Genre: Fiction, Classics, Fantasy, Philosophy, Inspirational

    Hello, dearies! 📚 🙂 I trust this new January is going superb for you or that February will bring in new things.

    This one is not a review perse. It’s more of an I’ve-read-it-before, and I cannot talk about specifics or how a certain line was my absolute favourite, and the reason is that The Alchemist is one of those books that I read years ago, like ages, aeons ago.

  • The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles Book 2

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    Genres: Fantasy. YA.

    It’s not easy writing about what you have read years ago, but I do my best here. The Runaway Queen is the second story in The Bane Chronicles, the compilation about Magnus Bane life before and some after he met Alec, and from the time we read about Magnus in The Mortal Instruments, we wanted to know this kind of story since he is quite old and had many things to tells us throughout the books.

  • Beautiful Disaster: About the Book

    Beautiful Disaster: About the Book

    Author: Jamie McGuire

    Genre: Romance, New Adult, Contemporary, Fiction, YA

    Page Count: 432 pages

    Year Published: May 26, 2011

    Main Characters: Travis Maddox. Abby Abernathy.

    I cannot believe I don’t have a book review for Beautiful Disaster. And honestly, all that I remember is that I loved it at the time, despite being kind of a regular one, a romance, yes, but no fantasy in there. Yet, it hooked me for a time. 💞

    Now, there is a movie in the making, and for some reason, I am excited about it. I am not feeling the actors that much, but I want to watch. Filming ends this week, and Jamie has been giving us regular news on it, and it’s making me want to read the book again. There are two sides of Beautiful Disaster, from Abby’s point of view and from Travis’, and the one from Travis freaking Maddox was too much excitement. I mean, he is on my list of favourite male characters in books, so there, I admit that bad boys do hold their appeal.

  • About The Tales of Beedle the Bard

    About The Tales of Beedle the Bard

    Hello, dearies! How’s December so far? 

    Mine is cold. ⛄

    I’ll jump right in because this one is going to be short, have you ever read The Tales of Beedle the Bard? 

    They’re not a necessity within the wizarding world, and you can read the whole Harry Potter saga without them, but it’s nice to know those side stories that Ron told us about in book 7, spoiler? If you read and watched the movies, you know when they are mentioned. 

    It was nice reading these, they are short stories, and they make you go a little deeper into the magical world that we wish we were part of, though, of course, the main story that you want to read there is the Tale of the Three Brothers since on The Deathly Hallows you will want to know what three things you need to master death.

  • Interview with the Vampire

    Interview with the Vampire

    Author: Anne Rice 

    Genre: Gothic, Horror, Vampire 🧛

    This one is not going to be easy. 

    Hello, dearies! I barely remember the details but the general idea instead since it was such a long time ago that I read Interview with the Vampire, what I do remember is thinking how darkly different it was from the movie. 

    Of course, I had watched the movie before reading the book, but when I read this book, it was a real eye-opener for my young mind.

  • The Last Mermaid

    The Last Mermaid

    Author: Shana Abe

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Mythology, Historical

    Happy Friday, dearies! Are you ready for the weekend? I am! 📕

    Today, I cannot really say how this one about The Last Mermaid will go, but I have some notes that I’ll share after reading each part of this book. I must confess that for a while, I seriously considered giving it 2-3 stars because I was confused and it took me a while to finish it, but then Shana did what she does best when I’m reading her books, she managed to catch my attention each freaking time that a book part would end, oh, sorry, this one is divided in three Books (Short stories) but as it turns out they’re all related.

    How’s the week so far? Halloween is around the corner, and I decided to come in with a little challenge that I found on Instagram, another, yes. 

    This time around is for the OneWord, the challenge is supposed to be a stack of books with One Word titles, but I am doing it here, and what do you know? I have a list of book titles that are one word and from one series, cool? I think so, but I’ll include other titles too, even if I love this particular series. 

    Here we go. 📚

    Hello, dearies!

    I’ll let you know some of mine, I’ll keep the list short. 📜 😄 For real, I won’t expand.

  • HP and The Goblet of Fire

    HP and The Goblet of Fire

    This is going to be interesting, I’ll try to keep the movie and the book separated.

    Author: JK Rowling

    Genre: Fantasy, YA, Adventure, Magic

    Book 4 in the Harry Potter Saga

    “Because I want to fix that in my memory for ever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret…”

    Ron

    Hello, dearies! 🙂

    Hope is shiny where you are or not really cold as it gets here. 

    This one was the natural next step because we already have a review (sort of) about The Philosopher’s Stone, The Chamber of Secrets and The Prisoner of Azkaban, so The Goblet of Fire deserves its spot, however, if this were about the movies, it would not get more than a few lines because the fourth movie didn’t live up to all the expectations it should have. 

    When we first read The Goblet of Fire, it was that we’re-growing-up book, yes, PoA too, but this more so because Harry found a love interest, the first crush, and we met Cedric full-on, and that was the opening to the other houses, especially because now there would be a tournament with other magic schools.
