    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

    The Keeper: A Stars Above Story

    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.

  • 3 Easy Mystery Books to Read First

    3 Easy Mystery Books to Read First

    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

    10 YA Fantasy Books to Get Started

    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

    TBT: The Awakening

    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.

  • Books Set in the UK Challenge

    Books Set in the UK Challenge

    Hi, dearies!

    As I enjoyed doing one of small towns, I decided to go over to Europe and enjoy the scenery in the UK, not just London or Oxford, but other parts will count as well in this book challenge.

    I have read a few books either by British authors or US authors that decided to set the book across seas, so I remembered that I have read some of those and let’s see if I can name a few.

    Books Set in Small Towns: Challenge Edition

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    I feel like I don’t say that enough in the past few months. Hope you’re a returning book lover, who likes my blog, but if you’re new, welcome!

    Today, I thought and thought about what to write for my next post, and realised that it has been a while since I did a book challenge, so here we are. What better way to show love for books the thinking through all the books you have read in life, and trying to remember the town they were set in, right? Wrong, it’s nerve-wracking because the more you think about it, the less the memories come to you.

  • HP and the Half-Blood Prince

    HP and the Half-Blood Prince

    Series: Harry Potter

    Book #6: The Half-Blood Prince

    Author: JK Rowling

    Genre: YA, fantasy, magic, drama

    I’ve been waiting to talk about this one.

    Hello, dearies! ⚡

    The Half-Blood Prince was not going to be this week’s Throwback Thursday, but here we are, TBT with this Potter book.

    I love the whole Harry Potter saga, I think that’s clear after me taking the time to talk about each book, but The Half-Blood Prince made me re-read it a few times when it first came out, and it soon became a favourite book.

    After reading it, I had to wait for The Deathly Hallows, so I had to keep going back to The Half-Blood Prince for more.

    Let us begin. 🔮

    I’ll jump right in, and perhaps go back and forward, so please be patient with my upcoming rambling.
