HP and The Deathly Hallows

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

Author: J.K Rowling

Saga: Harry Potter Book #7

Genre: Epic Fantasy, Young Adult, Drama, Magic, Urban, and so much magic and fantasy

Hello, dearies! 🪄

We have arrived at this one at last, it was a long road while I talked about each book. All reviews here.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I remember being so excited because the final book would come soon, and I had re-read The Half-Blood Prince a couple of times already because it was so good, not the end but that just made you want to read the next book more.

A Game of Thrones: Flashback

“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”

Author: George R.R. Martin

Genre: Fantasy, Fiction, Epic Fantasy, Adult, High Fantasy, Science Fiction Fantasy, and more.

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.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: TBT

‘It was much pleasanter at home,’ thought poor Alice, ‘when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet — and yet — it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what can have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I’ll write one.’

Author: Lewis Carroll

Genre: Nonsense Literature, Fantasy, Adventure

When did I read it? Ages ago.

Hello, dearies! 🫖

When I was little, I loved watching the Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland. Just a fun fact for you.

I didn’t read the book until my teenage days and found it as nuts as you can imagine.

It’s not bad. It’s just a lot of things happening.

The Lost Book of the White

“If I only jumped when I knew where I was going to land, I would never jump at all.”

Series: The Eldest Curses #2

Authors: Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

Genres: Fantasy, Not so YA but some, Drama, Urban Fantasy, LGBT, Paranormal, Romance

5 bright glowing ⭐

Hello, dearies! 🧭

Prepare for some fangirling of epic proportions.

And maybe a bit of rambling too.

The Lost Book of The White takes us forward in time or further (way further) than The Red Scrolls of Magic, which I recommend you first read City of Bones before diving into that one, although it is not necessary.

So, I loved book 2 of The Eldest Curses, does that come across? Sometimes I don’t know if it really does. But I did, and it took me a while to write this one because… life, so my memories are a bit far away.

The Keeper: A Stars Above Story

“It’s an unassuming name, but also . . . powerful. Because of where she came from.”

Series: The Lunar Chronicles

Book: Stars Above

Story: The Keeper

Author: Marissa Meyer

Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult, Science Fiction, Retellings, Short Stories

This will be short. 😆

So, I am slowly but surely making my way through the stories in Stars Above. I read it all in the wrong order, so don’t judge me. You can check my other reviews for it here.

This one, The Keeper, is the first story in the book. If you have ever read The Lunar Chronicles book 1 to 4, then you will probably be into reading this one. If you haven’t already.

5 Romance Books to Start the Burn

“Throughout our lives, no one could figure out how we were so close, but when friendships begin with cupcakes—chocolate, at that—no truer bond develops.”

Hello, dearies! 💞

I hope you have a fan on you… poor joke, I know.

I decided to continue the ball rolling with the listings and recommend some awesome romance books that deserve more recognition. If you are feeling a bit on the fence about reading romance, then you might start your journey with these authors, it’s where I started and they didn’t disappoint.

3 Easy Mystery Books to Read First

“They were each other’s crutch to lean on when life got too much to carry alone.”
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

Hello, dearies! 📖

I was going to do 5 mystery books to read but then I realized I couldn’t think past 3 books that I would recommend in this genre. Sorry, not sorry.

This is not a genre that I particularly go crazy about in books, in movies and TV shows, I do like those a lot.

So, the list is not long but these books are worth mentioning. Let’s begin. 🎃

10 YA Fantasy Books to Get Started

“They dreamed through golden days and silvered nights. All the other creatures envied or adored them, because Death and the Elemental were destruction and creation joined as One. In the natural order of things, they should not have been stronger joined. And yet they were.”
The Sweetest Dark

Hello, dearies! 😎

I thought to make a quick (debatable) post on some good YA Fantasy books to get you started on this genre, or if you know all of them already, then you can just be reminded of some of these cool books.

Please, be advised that this is my very biased opinion, and we all know that not all of us like the same books or authors and that’s okay. We all have different tastes. ☀️

That said, here are the ten books that I would recommend to get started in the YA Fantasy world, and don’t be frightened to explore a new book. All or some books might be ten years old but it does not mean they’re not just as good as any other book.

Alright, alright, I’m starting now.

TBT: The Awakening

Elena:
Searching for the ultimate thrill, she vowed to have Stefan.

Series: The Vampire Diaries

Book: The Awakening

Author: L.J Smith

This one won’t be easy.

Hello, dearies! 🦇

While I love The Vampire Diaries series, because I do, I think that out of the YA vampire books I’ve read or tried to, this is my favourite because the Salvatore brothers, I mean the story behind it is cool.

But, the first four books of the Series are not on my 5 stars list, the last 3 books on the other hand, yes, I can get behind and the story there it’s just great.

Flashback: Onyx

“His lips tipped up one side and he leaned toward me, his mouth inches from mine. “Come and get it.”

Hello, dearies!

Today’s Flashback is more an I Wish I could Read this Book as if it Were the First Time.

So, Onyx. Do you know the Lux Series? This is book 2 in the series, I have talked a bit about them in the past, back when I first read them and loved them so much.
