Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

Which genre of book is your favourite? For me? It varies.

Hello, dearies! 🍂

Welcome to the blog and another random list of books that I have on my TBR and have not read yet because you know… life.

I have decided to go with Genres as there are various ones that I have picked up or added to my reading list over the years. I am, most of the times, am avid fantasy reader as many of you might know, it is what I live for, it is my favourite, anything can happen there and I also love writing in this genre, but it is not the only one, and of course there are many other types of genres from mystery to romance to plain old fiction that I have read and enjoyed.

So, that is why if I read a description or see a book cover that looks interesting, I added to my endless TBR and here are 10 different types of books that jump genres… mind you, some might have similar genres, but here we go.

TBT: The Smoke Thief

‘Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret—and their survival—is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary.’

Hello, dearies! 🐲

It’s been a while since I did a TBT, but recently I have been feeling that longing to re-read a good book and one that I have loved for a while is The Smoke Thief by Shana Abé.

This was the first book I read by this author I think 10 years ago or so, wow! I did not expect to think back and see that it has been that long since I first picked up and only after a small description and learning that it was about dragons, that was more than enough for me.

Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

‘A powerful warrior and commander of the dark elf legions, Bleu is a loyal and devoted male, and one who has never failed in anything—except one thing. Love…’

Maybe I set my expectations too high.

Perhaps I thought too much while reading it.

Or simply Bleu was not what I was expecting but this had all the potential.

Book Title: Possessed by a Dark Warrior

Book Series: Eternal Mates #9

Author: Felicity Heaton

Genres: Romance. Demons. Shapeshifters. Paranormal. Fantasy.

Page Count: 453 pages

4 ⭐

4 stars and I am being generous. I have a soft spot for elves as you might know from my other reviews of these series. And I like romance fantasy, however, there was something not quite there and I cannot wrap my finger around it.

Marked by an Assassin [Eternal Mates #8] Book Review

That book was not what I was expecting… sadly.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

I have finished reading another Eternal Mates book, number 8 this time. Marked by an Assassin. At first I was not going to read this one, but I wanted to know something so I went back to it, I should, maybe, perhaps, followed my first instinct.

After escaping her abusive family and restarting her education, Miyo thought she would spend the rest of her days as Kiyoka’s fiancée in peace. But when horrible visions begin to assail her night after night, she gradually starts to break down. As tensions flare and the once-happy couple lapses into misunderstanding, Miyo finds herself leaving home once again…

Hello, dearies! 📬

I got new books in the mail and of course, I had to share them with you. 🥰

Why do I buy so many light novels? They are light, lol. They don’t occupy as much as space as the hardcover books that I want to have on my bookshelf.

But I got this particular ones because I really enjoyed My Happy Marriage Vol. 1 and I wanted to continue the story straightaway.

Do you know about the songs from Idhún? These books also included several wonderful songs by one of the main characters… and it’s all here!

Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

‘Possessed by a need to save a beautiful Amazon warrior from the vision he witnessed, Loke snatched her from the midst of the battle between the Third and Fifth realm of the demons, and carried her to his home deep in the black mountains of Hell to protect her.’

Series: Eternal Mates

Author: Felicity Heaton

Genres: Dragons, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Urban

That title sounds a bit stronger than the book actually is…

It took me a while to finish to be honest.

But the last 10% it came rolling back to life.

Also, one chapter was dedicated entirely to introducing a new character and get your attention to another book. It was too obvious but it did the job because I added that book to my TBR 😅😆. I’m a sucker for fantasy, angels, and romances. As I have previously stated on these reviews about the Eternal Mates Series.

Hello, dearies! I might end up reading all 19 books one day. For now, I’m mixing and jumping among them, even when I usually like to read books in order, this particular series can be read like this almost without problem.

Well, it hadn’t been such a problem so far until this one where there were some characters that I knew who they were but didn’t know they ended up together, so spoilers for me. 🥹🥲 But it’s alright, I brought that on myself for skipping books.
