Author: George RR Martin

Genres: Fiction, Fantasy,

Series: A Song of Ice and Fire Book #3

Friday Flashback (Flashback Friday)

I had some confusion going with this one and A Clash of Kings. Don’t know why, don’t how that happened. Perhaps because I read all three books in a row. A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and this one A Storm of Swords.

Spoiler Time Sunday: Romance in Idhun

Today, I’ll answer one big question from The Idhun Chronicles, is there romance there? Or is it just fantasy? It’s spoiler time!

Hello, dearies! 📖➡️

Here we are once more on a Sunday and with some spoilers.

I’ll dive right into it because there’s no time like the present, I started this section with some spoilers from the Wizarding World, you can check it out on that link you just pass it. 👀

So, if you’re an avid reader of my blog, you might know that I’m a big fan of The Idhun Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún), a Spanish trilogy by author Laura Gallego. But I have seen a question going around that it’s big spoiler, well, I have seen a couple but today I’ll answer this one: Is there romance in The Idhun Chronicles?

This is a funny one for me, because what do you mean, people on the internet? Anyway, the short answer is this: Yes, there is romance in The Idhún Chronicles.

Now, for the long answer, which contains many spoilers and if you haven’t read the books but intent on reading, then this post is not for you. I mean it, you can stop reading here and thank you for stopping by.

Hello, dearies! 🐫

Today is one that I finished last month (I think). Dune, this was a long read, such a very long read, but I got through it! 👏🥳Good for me!

So, Dune, have you watched the new Dune movie with handsome Timothy Chamlet? I have, of course, about 3 times by now, might watch it again before the second part releases next year. But that’s not why we are here, and no, I haven’t watched the other Dune movie. 1984?

Fruits Basket (Anime 2001)

I’ll jump right into this one. Expect some rambling ahead, and some spoilers if you don’t know about Fruits Basket.

Fruits Basket – Manga Review… sort of

The anime sent me on this path… and it was worth it. 😍

Hello, dearies! 🎆🎐

Welcome to a new rambling about a Manga. I finished Fruits Basket this month, and found it quite interesting.

What shocked me the most about reading and finishing the Manga was that I knew where it was going because I’d watched the anime (2019 version), but I was still into it, it didn’t feel like a repeat, but at the same, it was a sort of comfort read, I don’t know if you know what I mean, but it was nice. And I liked it of course.
