    Spoiler Time Sunday: Odd Queries I saw online about Namaikizakari (Cheeky Brat)

    Hello, dearies! Another Sunday, another potential day for spoilers!

    Before anything, this is my 400th post! I thought it would be fitting to do it with a tribute to a story I love. โค๏ธ

    I don’t like spoilers as you know, but I felt that I could answer some odd questions about Cheeky Brat for you, in case you are curious to know more about this manga that is one of my top 5 favourite manga.

    11 Books with Dark Covers [That are not Mystery]

    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. ๐Ÿ“–

  • Mags, Finnick, or Johanna? Who deserves the next Hunger Games book?

    Mags, Finnick, or Johanna? Who deserves the next Hunger Games book?

    Hello, dearies!

    Welcome to a rant on The Hunger Games and the upcoming (not official) next books. I am doing this because I saw a post on IG about the ‘rumours’ of Finnick Odair’s prequel book, this is not an official announcement, not one that I have seen at least.

    So, I am a seeker, and I immediately went and looked for it to see if Suzanne Collins had made an official announcement about the next book, there is none.

    The current one: Sunrise on the Reaping, it is barely getting the movie out this year, if and when (they probably will) announce a new prequel, it might not be for a couple of months, now, if you know something I don’t like an interview of this year or an official news report, let me know, I am all ears and I’ll be happy about it. But no, there is no Finnick book (yet). Talked about it? The production or whoever of The Hunger Games mentioned it, yes, but that’s it.

    Now, who would be deserving of this honour? Who would we want to see on the next book prequel? Probably Finnick so we can cry and be completely even more traumatised than we were after Haymitch’s Quarter Quell book, wow, that was rough. Who then? I did the math, and my hopes are as follow.

    Sunrise on the Reaping: Book Review [The Hunger Games 0.5]

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ“š

    It’s been a while since I read a book so fast, and fresh out of the oven. But here we are.

    It was easy reading Sunrise on the Reaping, and going back to the Capitol, Panem, District 12, even when it was not shown all that much, and discovering how they wanted everything to fit and explain The Hunger Games and the plots that unraveled there.

    That’s pretty much it. The end. ๐Ÿ˜… Just kidding, sort of.

    Let me show you what this book was like, considering that we wanted to know what happened to Haymitch Abernathy, and we sure did. ๐Ÿซ 

    And yes, there will be spoilers all over this post, like I will assume you want to know or you have finished reading the book, too.

  • A Beautiful Funeral: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #5)

    A Beautiful Funeral: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #5)

    I already had a feeling because it had been hinted at in the previous books, but I still was sad when it did happen.

    Hello, everyone! Welcome to the end of the binge-read! โญ

    I finished reading all books in The Maddox Brothers series, though, it is not the end. This is only the so-far books that are published because it looks like a new one will be published about Trenton, is it confirmed? I don’t know, but it is in on Goodreads, so it might be.

    I also skipped over Something Beautiful and went directly to the last one: A Beautiful Funeral because I had to.

    Basically, book 4 Beautiful Burn and this one are a mix in my head, but they are very distinctly different, never fear about that.

    What I cannot get over is the fact of how much of a giant Travis is, I really need to re-read Beautiful Disaster because I remember the essence of it, but a lot of little details are missing from my memories. I read it a long time ago.

    Anyway, I am remembering all of the books because A Beautiful Funeral, it is basically all the books in one without repetition. I mean that all brothers are in here, and their girls. So be prepared for that.

    Beautiful Redemption: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #2)

    I don’t know.

    Don’t ask me what was missing but something was, probably in the last 10% of it. Maybe somewhere in how it ended.

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿšจ

    I finished the second book on The Maddox Brothers book series Beautiful Redemption, which is Thomas Maddox story. And no, that’s not spoilers because it is in the description of the book, unless you don’t all Maddox boys and how their stories would then get ready because everything on this review might be spoiler.

    Beautiful Oblivion: Book Review (Finally Read it!)

    Oblivion indeed. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ“š

    OMFJC on a cracker. ๐Ÿ‚

    This woman got me, I didn’t see that coming. I had no clue. I still don’t understand what the big secret is about.

    Other than the fact that TJ knew that Trenton was in love with Camille his whole life and he still went and asked her out, crappy move there, but I suppose since they were not together it was fair.

    But I did not know it was HIM.

    Okay, let’s do this review right.
