    Sunrise on the Reaping: Book Review [The Hunger Games 0.5]

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ“š

    It’s been a while since I read a book so fast, and fresh out of the oven. But here we are.

    It was easy reading Sunrise on the Reaping, and going back to the Capitol, Panem, District 12, even when it was not shown all that much, and discovering how they wanted everything to fit and explain The Hunger Games and the plots that unraveled there.

    That’s pretty much it. The end. ๐Ÿ˜… Just kidding, sort of.

    Let me show you what this book was like, considering that we wanted to know what happened to Haymitch Abernathy, and we sure did. ๐Ÿซ 

    And yes, there will be spoilers all over this post, like I will assume you want to know or you have finished reading the book, too.

    What is Bu Bu Jing Xin? The Novel

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ“š

    So I have seen some are curious about Bu Bu Jing Xin, which is literally translated as ‘Scarlet Heart‘ is the novel where Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo came from, I mentioned this on my reviews of this awesome K-Drama, but it all goes back to a book.

    I don’t know much to say about it, other than what I have discovered online, so here are my findings.

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

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

    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! โญ

    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)

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

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš’

    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. ๐Ÿš’

    Top 5 Reads of 2024

    Hello, dearies! โ„๏ธ

    It is almost the end of the year, and I cannot believe it!

    What did I read this year though? It was varied, but with some (a lot) of re-readings in there. But I’ll keep this top 5 rating of 2024 to the books, manga, and light novel that I hadn’t read before and were new to me if not released this year or last, like all the reads on this list were published years ago.

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

    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! ๐Ÿšจ

    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!)

    Oblivion indeed. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ“š

    OMFJC on a cracker. ๐Ÿ‚

    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.

    My Happy Marriage #1 – Light Novel Review

    Author: Akumi Agitogi

    Genres: Romance, Fantasy, Fiction, Historical Fiction

    Other names: ใ‚ใŸใ—ใฎๅนธใ›ใช็ตๅฉš. Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon.

    Original published date: January 15, 2019

    Page count: 153 (156 with Afterword)

    ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ“–

    Welcome, dearies! ๐Ÿ’

    This is the first time I do a light novel review.

    A light novel, or ใƒฉใ‚คใƒˆใƒŽใƒ™ใƒซ (raito noberu) in Japanese, is a popular form of literature originating from Japan. It is typically categorized as young adult fiction, with its primary audience being teenagers and young adults in their twenties.

    However the review still remains the same way as it is me rambling here. Alright, alright, today’s novel is My Happy Marriage #1, why specify the one? Because so far there are 8 books in this series. Iโ€™m glad I didnโ€™t know about it back in 2019 when it came out for Japan because I wouldnโ€™t have been able to read it as only on January 18, 2022, did the English version come out. And thanks to Yen Press, it seems like I’m always promoting them but I really am not, I wish I got free stuff but true is that YP has a lot of my favourites so I often find myself buying the manga and books from there. In any case, I got MHM in the mail back in June, you can check out the book mail for it here.

    TBT: Kissed by a Dark Prince

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ’œ

    This one acts as a TBT because I had read this one before, but I re-read it again recently and it almost felt like the first time ๐Ÿ˜„.

    I could barely remember what happened on this one, but one thing was clear, I didn’t misremember the fact that I freaking loved this book. I knew there was a reason for me to like Tempted by a Rogue Prince so much (book #3 in this series). It’s all because of the incredibly honest princes here. Wow.
