    Spoiler Time Sunday: Cinder – Odd Queries

    Hello, dearies! πŸ‘ 

    It’s Sunday! But I nearly forgot about today’s spoiler time, so for this Sunday I decided to go with Cinder, which is book 1 in The Lunar Chronicles saga (series).

    Most of you might know or if you read the description of the book that this is a fairytale retelling of Cinderella. Yes, and there’s no spoiler in that, for context here is the description of Cinder.

    Hello, dearies! 😈

    Welcome to a new book review, this time for Claimed by a Demon King, book #2 in the Eternal Mates series (I would say saga, there are a lot of books).

    By the title and the cover of the book you might guess what’s this is about… yes, romance adult fantasy book, do not leave it out where anyone can see, keep it away from underage readers. Is that type.

    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

    Hello, dearies! πŸ“–βž‘οΈ

    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. πŸ‘€

    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 IdhΓΊn), 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 IdhΓΊn 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! πŸ‘πŸ₯³Good 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)

    Where can I watch it? On Crunchyroll.

    Hello, dearies! 🐾

    I recently, barely, finished watching Fruits Basket’s original anime (or I would say the crazy 2001 version).

    This anime makes no sense.

    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

    Title: Fruits Basket

     (γƒ•γƒ«γƒΌγƒ„γƒγ‚Ήγ‚±γƒƒγƒˆ, FurΕ«tsu Basuketto) also abbreviated as Furuba or Fruba (フルバ)

    Author: Natsuki Takaya

    Genres: Fantasy, romantic comedy, slice of life

    Original date: July 1998 – November 2006

    In 2015, it began the Fruits Basket: Collector’s Edition (ζ„›θ”΅η‰ˆ γƒ•γƒ«γƒΌγƒ„γƒγ‚Ήγ‚±γƒƒγƒˆ) where 2 volumes were compiled into one. Same story. But there are now 12 volumes.

    Hello, dearies! πŸŽ†πŸŽ

    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.
