  • Idhun’s Memories 3: Panteón

    Idhun’s Memories 3: Panteón

    Trilogy: The Idhun Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún)

    Pantheon – Book #3

    Author: Laura Gallego

    🌟⭐🌠🌠🌟

    I’m doing this one on Pantheon because it felt in some parts like I was reading it for the first time.

    And I completely blocked out 2 facts in this book, or so it seems. It was so real to me that A died, at first I was perplexed that that fact had been out of my mind for so long.

    So, let’s do this once more, and I apologise beforehand because I know these books are in Spanish, and some of you might not be able to read them yet, still, I wanted to share.

  • Now a Halloween Movie Book Tag

    Now a Halloween Movie Book Tag

    And because I can, I am doing a different post for this other tag. It was fun trying to think of books for the Halloween Book one, and yes I posted them both today on Halloween because when else? Happy Halloween, dearies! 🎃👻

    Oh, and check out the one from Paperbacks and Planners, and the one who tag me, Whispering Stories.  🙂

    Let’s start.

  • Halloween Song Book Tag – ReTag?

    Halloween Song Book Tag – ReTag?

    Hello, dearies! As you might know from previous lists and posts, I don’t usually do this kind of post, but I thought that for Halloween I should try, though I don’t know how it will since when asked questions like these ones, I usually go blank and forget all the books I have ever read, lol, I know.

    I’ll give it my best, so here we go. This tag was a tag from Riddhi at Whispering Stories, but the original was first seen on a video. That’s enough rambling, starting for real now.

  • HP and The Chamber of Secrets

    HP and The Chamber of Secrets

    Saga: Harry Potter

    Author: JK Rowling

    Genre: Fantasy, Magic, Wizards

    Listen to the Podcast

    Continuing our journey through the magical world of Harry Potter, now, one of my favs, The Chamber of Secrets, not my all-time favourite but pretty close. For part one of this, you can read my ramblings on HP and the Philosopher’s Stone.

    The Chamber of Secrets is one of the books I appreciate being a second good book, not many manage that, sometimes the second statements are either boring or slow or plain crazy, and other times like with Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles 2) or The Two Towers (The Lord of the Rings), you, just get a winner or Where She Went, none of these books has absolutely anything to do with each other, but they are all seconds and good ones, The Subtle Knife too from His Dark Materials. To the point, I know.

  • Stars Above – 1.5 and 3.1

    Stars Above – 1.5 and 3.1

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    This one will be short and sweet, just wanted to showcase these 2 stories in the Stars Above compilation.

    This may contain spoilers for those who had not read any of The Lunar Chronicles books. Beware.

    The Queen’s Army (The Lunar Chronicles #1.5)

    While I love these books, there is also something very savage about the Lunar stories. Worst of them all is seeing what children in Luna go through, like with this one and what Ze’ev had to face.

  • The Lunar Chronicles 4: Winter ❄️

    The Lunar Chronicles 4: Winter ❄️

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Genre: Sci-fi, fantasy, romance (sort of), YA, Dystopia, Retellings

    I think this is going to take a little while to come together. 

    After all the scary moments, all the times I said, this is it, this is where she kills them, her, him, one of them is going to be left alone and wandering without love, then another of my fav would come into the scene and there I was again thinking the same, what a rollercoaster.

    It doesn’t usually happen that I find a book to have me gaping, almost screaming, nearly crying, laughing, insulting the characters, but the best ones do, or at least does that make you go in and be part of the story for real, feel all that they are feeling, intense, magical, heartwarming, all those little things we feel while reading Winter.

    The Lunar Chronicles 3: Cress

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Genre: Sci-fi, fantasy, romance (sort of), YA, Dystopia, Retellings

    Starting straightaway…

  • Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Wicked Ones

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Wicked Ones

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Authors: Cassie Clare & Robin Wasserman

    Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Drama

    It took me a while to read this one, but I did so enjoyed it and in the end, it led to what we already knew. But while reading The Wicked Ones, I was actually trying to remember about what little information I had on Céline Montclaire and as such I will now share my in-the-moment thoughts.

    If you haven’t read this short story or don’t know about The Mortal Instruments story, I suggest you don’t continue because there are some spoilers here.

    You have been warned.

  • The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

    The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

    World: Panem

    Author: Suzanne Collins

    Prequel to The Hunger Games

    Listen to it: Book Chat with Me

    For the book review of The Hunger Games, check out that link you just passed, back, there you go, that one. 🙂

    Now, let’s get this party started, beginning as usual (almost usual) with my thoughts as I read the book. It was not easy to stop and jot down some thoughts while reading this one, especially because it was my first time reading on my phone, on Amazon Kindle, but I made it work, and the note thing on Kindle made it much easier. Though I was saving up ‘quotes’ too, so bear with me.

  • HP and the Philosopher’s Stone

    HP and the Philosopher’s Stone

    Saga: Harry Potter

    Book: The Philosopher’s Stone

    Author: JK Rowling

    Oh, wow. I know this is weird perhaps, but I wanted to dedicate a little more to each of these books, although I already have the Wizarding World page where I say just how great everything is. I decided now, to go book by book, quickly and point out once more that they’re great, though it might surprise us Potterheads that there are still people out there who have not read HP ever in their lives, so this is for you too.

    “The ancient study of alchemy is concerned with making the Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary substance with astonishing powers. The Stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also produces the Elixir of Life, which will make the drinker immortal.”
