Reviews from the heart.
Hello, dearies! 🐉
Welcome to a new Spoiler Time Sunday, coincidence that today is also House of the Dragon? Maybe, maybe not!
But I have been working on this project for ASOIAF for a while now, and I’m excited to share the first part of it, and why not with a spoiler moment plus Targaryens.

Hello, dearies!
Another week, another list. This time anime that are like Fruits Basket but not entirely, because, have you seen it? Furuba is an institution on its own, I rarely (*cough* lying) get so into a story.
I thought I could say that, but it is not rare 🤣. I get into stories a lot, and you know it if you have been following the blog for years.
(more…)![11 Books with Dark Covers [That are not Mystery]](https://eachpage.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/dark-cover-books.png?w=1024)
Hello, dearies!
Following my Blue Covers book challenge, I decided to take a turn at darker tones and hues and check for dark coloured book covers, but, these are not mystery or suspense, but fantasy or magical.
Do you have your bookshelves organised by colour? I do it sometimes.
It was not so easy as you might think to find these 11 books, but I like research, so here’s the list, you can add it to your TBR or collect these books to make your bookshelves look striking or gothic-like. 📖

Happy Valentine’s Day, dearies!
I’ll add a couple of female leads this time because I feel like I have more to name now then other years when I did similar lists.
So, we have a variety in 2026. And I’ll start with the girls from Shadowhunters because they are my favourite characters by far.
The Dark Artifices. Even at 12 years old she was already badass, and then came TDA trilogy and I was hooked for good.
The Mortal Instruments. Well, from the start Izzy was my favourite and as the story progressed she only grew in my eyes.
The Infernal Devices. Tessa is badass when she wants to. And not just because she is the get two guys for one girl, she has power (abilities) and knows how to use it. 😄
Twilight. Do I need to say more? Alice is probably one of the best characters in the whole Twilight Saga, no comparison needed.
I decided to create my own book fanart for Rue. This is from one of the first scenes of the book before we learnt more about her, but soon after wow, she is strong, charismatic, and witty. I like that in a lead. 🙂
Hello, dearies!
Welcome to a new reader list… because I am nice and like listing random bookish things, so why not manga genres that you can choose from and get you started in reading manga OR simply what to read next…
I have checked some of the ones that I like, and added a few others that I haven’t read but would like to.

Welcome, dearies!
A new list is here, but not a book specific one, but the authors that made me grab copy after copy of their books, and sometimes get different versions of the same book. 😍 What they have in common? Not much other their amazing way of telling a story and make me want to go into those worlds.
Basically, the authors who are responsible that I am such a bookish girl. High praise, I know! 😆✨️
Alright, here we go. Jumping right into it, I will ramble enough later on.
This was the obvious one. Even if all books I have read by Cassie are the Shadowhunters novels it is still an author I would start reading a book from without questioning much. 🙂
And, yes, there are others books by her that are not The Mortal Instrumentals, The Dark Artifices, or Magnus’ Stories. Like Sword Catcher.
For Jennifer, again, I haven’t actually read other books others than the ones with Aliens and such in them, yes, I mean the Lux Series and the Origin Series. But unlike with Cassandra Clare, I do know she has so many other books that are right up my alley, I have them saved on my endless TBR. Like the Dark Elements Series, Harbinger Series or the Covenant Series, all of which I have read the descriptions of and added to my list. But she has others, too.
Ah, Shana. I love her writing, she quickly became one of my top fav authors after I read The Drakon Series. And I did read almost all of her books after that.
It was epic. Mostly Romance, Regency, Fantasy, and drama novels in a historical setting (Intimate Enemies. The Last Mermaid. A Winter Rose), and yet, I read through each book like it was a holiday and I had the time. This was years ago, but I have re-read some of her books and still like them like the first time.
But The Sweetest Dark and The Dream Thief remain my top favourite books by Shana. And yes, I have bought or added books by her only by seeing her name.
Laura Gallego Garcia is a Spanish author that first got my attention when I read The Idhun Chronicles, ten years ago? Or so, it was a long time ago. 🥹 And from that first trilogy, which I have re read a bunch of times and talked about almost a little too much (Idhunita), but because of how much I immersed myself in the story of the three suns and three moons, I couldn’t help but see her name and immediately buy a book or add it to my TBR.
Now, I haven’t read them all, but I am sure that I will like them all the same.
Alright, finally but not least important or less favourite is Marissa Meyer, although she is a newer like, her retelling of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel to name the first three of The Lunar Chronicles was on point and creative, haha, that sounded a bit generic, sorry.
Let me start again, I love The Lunar Chronicles stories, Cinder, which is about Cinderella, I had to restart the first chapter a couple of times before I truly stayed and read to them. And it was worth it. And after reading Scarlet, I went and got the paperbacks, and when I started Cress, I was in deep with the story. By Winter (book 4) I was committed and sure I would read anything by Marissa Meyer.
That’s all for this one.
As I was naming these 5 like another three came to mind, but romance authors, lol. There is an idea 😄 a list of romance authors that make me buy ebooks over and over, should I?
Let me know in the comments. Or if you liked this list and would like to see different ones. I’m all ears.
Don’t forget to like, share, and follow if you are not already. It’s always nice to see your interest. ♥️
![Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review](https://eachpage.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/scorched-darkness-eternal-mates.jpg?w=1024)
Oh boy, I do like the dark ones. And the elves.
Welcome, dearies! 📖
It is a new day for a book review about Eternal Mates, this time book 18. If you were here when I started with these, you have followed the progress with me.
If you arrived at Avenged by an Angel book 16, you might know that I read 3 of these books in a row. 16, 17, and 18. I was building myself up to this one to be honest. I could have jumped from Unchained by a Forbidden Love to this one, but I decided to follow the order.
I am glad I did, and at the same time a bit disappointed because it was a journey that veered off from what I was expecting.
The thing about these books as that you could read them as stand-alone but at the same time, not, because there are some details let’s say from Kissed by a Dark Prince, Book 1, that you might need for this one book 18. So, I read more of these but at the same time could have skipped some parts.
(more…)
Yes, we sort of already knew about it.
But it was not confirmed, confirmed, and there was no date but now there it is! So excited about seeing The Lunar Chronicles.
Last time on the blog: The Lunar Chronicles: Animated News
Now, recently Marissa Meyer, announced the official date for the movie or she told us to go read the news on Deadline.
And even when it doesn’t say much other than it will be in theaters in Nov. 3, 2028, I’m still going to wait for it, three years, is not much, right? Right? (it is *whispered sigh*).

Hello, dearies! 🪽
At this point, you might have noticed that I like these books 😆 I cannot seem to stop myself from buying them. Since I picked up the Eternal Mates series again, I have not been able to stop until I get to the bottom of it all. Although, the last one I read seemed to take a small turn, a wee one from what I had read on this one and book #17. Alright I’m getting ahead of myself because I read 3 of these in a row.
I shall focus on Avenged by an Angel, which I had wanted to read since book 7? The one on Taken by a Dragon, I think; like honestly, I knew this one was coming at some point and when I began reading, it all seemed to point in the right direction, and then? To be honest, I stopped reading for a bit, it was kind of predictable, but I still read it and liked it, but was not as: whoa! As I had expected.
