    PoV: Watching Jujutsu Kaisen for the first time

    Kon’nichiwa, dearies!🗼

    I go Japanese after a good anime, I know. 😉😶‍🌫️

    So, have you heard of or watched Jujutsu Kaisen?

    Of course, are you the only one living in the past?

    If you thought that, then, no need to be so harsh. I started watching this anime recently after reading the description, and though I haven’t finished it, this is how it’s going so far…

    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.

    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.

  • Friday Flashback: The Dragon Prince Season 3

    Friday Flashback: The Dragon Prince Season 3

    Where? Netflix

    What is it about? Not all about dragons, no.

    Genres? Fantasy, Magic, Elves, Dragons, Humans.

    Hello, dearies! 🐲

    This one is not really a throwback for me because I “recently” re-watched the whole show up until season 4, which I think is awesome, and that The Dragon Prince just keeps getting better and better, but I’ll stay focused and restrict this one to Season 3 because I realised I didn’t have an entry for it.

    I don’t have one for season 1 either, but that can be another week.

    The Dragon Prince season 3, what happened on this one? Should I go with some spoilers? I don’t think I can talk about it much without some, so if you haven’t watched it yet, then don’t read, and if you are here for all the details on this season, I’ll only give a few, so enjoy those.

  • Quick fun fact about House of the Dragon

    Quick fun fact about House of the Dragon

    Hello, dearies! 🐉

    You know what’s funny about House of the Dragon storyline and promo is that they say, return to Westeros and meet the history of Targaryen and Hightower, like fans of the show will hardly know what you’re referring to with Hightower, they scratched the surface with that house.

    I bet not even half of those who watched the show would even be able to say, ah yes I know that house.

    And no, the one you’re probably thinking about is the Tyrells, who are from Highgarden.  

    In the books, of course, we know a lot more about them like the fact that Margery Tyrell’s mother was (is?) from Hightower.

    Fact

    House Hightower of the Hightower is one of the most powerful of the noble houses in the Reach. Their seat is the Hightower, located in the city of Oldtown. The sigil of House Hightower is a stone white watchtower, with a fire on the top.

    So, yes, just a fun fact for everyone out there, I saw a promo vid for House of the Dragon and thought, huh, do they even know?

    hightower house books

    I’m currently reading Fire and Blood, and it’s interesting, to say the least, I hope to finish it before the show is out, but as most of George R. R. Martin’s books are a thousand million pages long, then that remains to be seen if I’ll finish quickly or not.

    I’ll keep you posted and look for the review on it.

  • The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Story: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Book: The Bane Chronicles – Book #6

    Genres: Vampires, Fantasy, YA, Short Story

    Hello, dearies! 🦇

    I’m trying a new thing for Thursdays or Fridays, a sort of Throwback post or Flashback, and I thought this one would be perfect for it as The Bane Chronicles is a throwback indeed or a flashback if you must, at least for me.

    As Today is Thursday, this is the first Throwback Thursday book review, thoughts.

    Saving Raphael Santiago it’s not all that engraved in my mind, don’t ask me why because I cannot recall, but it was of the stories in The Bane Chronicles, so of course, I had to read it.

    Hello, dearies!

    It took me some time to write this one, but here I am. As promised.

    I will give you the randomness of my thoughts as they came when I was reading Finale, so bear with me for a bit. You might enjoy the quotes and snippets from the book.

    Fair warning, this post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books in the Hush Hush Saga, including this one, book 4, Finale.
