Friday Flashback: Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

“Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who’s trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made of hedgehogs.”

Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.

Hello, dearies! 🩷

Did you know I am Shadowhunter fan? No? Really? You must know, surely.

Anywho… Clockwork Angel, another one from the Shadow World that I started reading, put down, picked it up again, thought about about what it was about, tried hard to get into what was happening in those first pages, and then when I got it a bit, I started reading full-steam ahead. It was like the world opened up and dropped me in London.

Too much?

Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

‘…have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?’

Hello, dearies! 🧵

Did you know that there is a Jane Austen Challenge going on by canterburyclassics? (This is not promoted).

There is! And I decided to go into it, starting with Jane Austen in January, true be told I didn’t finish it in Jan, but I’ll plan on continuing until the end throughout February since the challenge is month by month through 2025, and I am not really planning on doing needlework, this time. 😆

As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! ⁠That’s how they decided that this should be the perfect way to celebrate.

These are the expected month-by-month challenges:

You can still join, of course. What do you think? If I find other book challenges like so, I’ll definitely consider them, it looked like so much, and perhaps I’ll finally read all of Jane Austen’s books, because Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey sit on my shelf since forever. 😸

That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. 😊

A Beautiful Funeral: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #5)

“When love was real, so was forever.”

I already had a feeling because it had been hinted at in the previous books, but I still was sad when it did happen.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the end of the binge-read! ⭐

I finished reading all books in The Maddox Brothers series, though, it is not the end. This is only the so-far books that are published because it looks like a new one will be published about Trenton, is it confirmed? I don’t know, but it is in on Goodreads, so it might be.

I also skipped over Something Beautiful and went directly to the last one: A Beautiful Funeral because I had to.

Basically, book 4 Beautiful Burn and this one are a mix in my head, but they are very distinctly different, never fear about that.

What I cannot get over is the fact of how much of a giant Travis is, I really need to re-read Beautiful Disaster because I remember the essence of it, but a lot of little details are missing from my memories. I read it a long time ago.

Anyway, I am remembering all of the books because A Beautiful Funeral, it is basically all the books in one without repetition. I mean that all brothers are in here, and their girls. So be prepared for that.

Beautiful Burn: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #4)

“Love made people hate in a way they never would have before.”

Hello, dearies! 🧑‍🚒

Welcome to 2025’s first finished book, but that came from 2024 because I started reading in December.

Beautiful Burn is about the burn, nah, that’s a bad joke. It is about two people who like each other and would walk through fire for their love, in the end, and if there was a fire Tyler would burn for Ellie.

Now, a quick note. The only thing that I agreed with Ellie on this book was that Jim was a former detective and Abby was smart and so they would have to know that what the Maddox Brothers said they did for a living was a lie. 🚒

Beautiful Sacrifice: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #3)

Because if you are binge-reading a book series, you just have to keep going with it when it actually caught your interest.

4 stars that rose from 3

Roller-coaster not Roller-coaster of emotions

Gliding through some parts but actually interested that I didn’t stop reading

Beautiful Redemption: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #2)

‘In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the last.’

I don’t know.

Don’t ask me what was missing but something was, probably in the last 10% of it. Maybe somewhere in how it ended.

Hello, dearies! 🚨

I finished the second book on The Maddox Brothers book series Beautiful Redemption, which is Thomas Maddox story. And no, that’s not spoilers because it is in the description of the book, unless you don’t all Maddox boys and how their stories would then get ready because everything on this review might be spoiler.

Beautiful Oblivion: Book Review (Finally Read it!)

“I’ve had a lifetime of wrong. You’re the only thing that’s right.”

Oblivion indeed. 😮

Hello, dearies! 📚

OMFJC on a cracker. 🍂

This woman got me, I didn’t see that coming. I had no clue. I still don’t understand what the big secret is about.

Other than the fact that TJ knew that Trenton was in love with Camille his whole life and he still went and asked her out, crappy move there, but I suppose since they were not together it was fair.

But I did not know it was HIM.

Okay, let’s do this review right.

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.
