  • The Odds are in our Favor: The Second Quarter Quell is Coming

    The Odds are in our Favor: The Second Quarter Quell is Coming

    Hello, dearies! Welcome! I have news! 📚

    The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel) Book has been announced, which will be dedicated to the Second Quarter Quell, and we all know who won that one, right?

    No? Okay, it was Haymitch, he was the victor of the 50th Hunger Games (or Second Quarter Quell) which is a different type of games, they always do a special one as they did on the 75th Hunger Games (Book 2: Catching Fire) where only the previous victors from each district would participate, this was how Katniss ended up again in the arena.

    This might a little late, but this post is full of spoilers if you haven’t watched the movies, read the book, or do not know about the history of Panem.

  • Fruits Basket – Manga Review… sort of

    Fruits Basket – Manga Review… sort of

    Title: Fruits Basket

     (フルーツバスケット, Furūtsu 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 (愛蔵版 フルーツバスケット) where 2 volumes were compiled into one. Same story. But there are now 12 volumes.

    Hello, dearies! 🎆🎐

    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.

  • HP and The Deathly Hallows

    HP and The Deathly Hallows

    Author: J.K Rowling

    Saga: Harry Potter Book #7

    Genre: Epic Fantasy, Young Adult, Drama, Magic, Urban, and so much magic and fantasy

    Hello, dearies! 🪄

    We have arrived at this one at last, it was a long road while I talked about each book. All reviews here.

    Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I remember being so excited because the final book would come soon, and I had re-read The Half-Blood Prince a couple of times already because it was so good, not the end but that just made you want to read the next book more.

  • TBT: The Secret Adversary

    TBT: The Secret Adversary

    Or as I knew it before in the Spanis version: El Misterioso Mr. Brown.

    Author: Agatha Christie

    Genres: Detective, Crime Novel

    I can’t remember when I read this book, maybe over ten years ago or more, but I do remember this, I liked and thought it was cool to get into suspense and think, oh what’s happening, uuh what’s that?

    It was nice. But The Secret Adversary is about looking for clues, following up people, and finding them.

  • Stranger Things Season 4 – Part 2: Wow Wow

    Stranger Things Season 4 – Part 2: Wow Wow

    By the time I finished watching this one, I was too shocked to even write about it, so I let it sit in my mind…

    Crass mistake, now I can hardly remember what was that happened except for the end of season 4 of Stranger Things. 🤣🫠

    Hello, dearies!

    Welcome to a Flashback Friday or Friday Flashback, whichever you prefer. Here we are with Stranger Things once more.

  • The Keeper: A Stars Above Story

    The Keeper: A Stars Above Story

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Book: Stars Above

    Story: The Keeper

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult, Science Fiction, Retellings, Short Stories

    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.

  • And Then There Were None: Quick View

    And Then There Were None: Quick View

    Author: Agatha Christie

    Genre: Classics, Fiction, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Thriller, Mystery

    First time I read this one was like fifteen years ago, and yes, this is a classic mystery that I would recommend, and that sucks you in, unlike other mystery or thrillers I have read where there is not much to it.

    I don’t mean to be so dismissive of new stories, but some of those books leave me with a sense of: meh. I cannot help. Even if I do have a section on Mystery/Thriller here on the blog because I recently read more books in that genre than I ever did in the past.

    Anyway, going back to And Then There Were None, which even for my young mind, it was quite good and left me wondering about it for a few days. I don’t remember the whole meat in the middle of it, but I know that I liked it.

    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.

    What did I Watch this Year?

    2022 Edition!

    Hello, dearies! 💖

    Almost the end of the year, and some of this time you think back to what you read, watched or did. Mostly you cannot remember or think it was not this year. For months I cannot remember what I did because it was a mesh of months for me.

    But I can try to remember for you, and this top shows of 2022 that I watched.
