Friday Flashback: The Chamber of Secrets

“A rift began to grow between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts.”

Welcome, dearies! 🍁

Another Friday, another Flashback, this one for Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, book 2 of the Wizarding Saga.

To go along with the newest episode of the podcast: Ep. 2 of Season 3 of EachPage Flow, I decided to go back to The Chamber of Secrets, but there were two things I didn’t say on the podcast because they skipped my mind as I was rambling about the book.

Sorry, there is a lot on my mind.

You can check out the full episode below, I put it here because I’m nice like that. 🙂

So, the dueling club at Hogwarts started by Lockhart, and the introduction to the word ‘mudblood’ or how pure-blooded families see those born of Muggles but with the gift of magic like: Hermione Granger. These are the two things that I later thought, oh wait, I missed something.

Alright, first dueling.

The Magician’s Nephew [Book Review]

“Awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters.”

Hello, dearies! Welcome to my first ever C.S. Lewis book review. 😮

That’s right I had never read The Chronicles of Narnia or any book by this author. But I decided this year that it was time, it had gone long enough, and frankly, I opened the book and started reading without giving it too much thought.

And that was eye-opening for me. But first let me tell my first impressions of reading The Magician’s Nephew, which was not what I was expecting in many ways.

So Far: This is the truth of Harry Potter’s Upcoming Max TV Series

“Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.”

Alright, I give. 🥹

This is what is happening with the upcoming Harry Potter TV Show on Max.

Fine, I’ll talk about it if it is happening and Summer of 2025 will mark the start of the production.

I’m just saying all of this because I have seen a lot of fakes news, videos, and text around that it is simply outrageous. So, all the information here comes from the official website harrypotter.com. 📚

Spoiler Time Sunday: Wizarding World of Harry Potter

New Section dedicated to those difficult questions and moments that would give away a book and how it all ends.

Hello, dearies! 📆

Welcome to a new segment? Special? Section? Category? Anyway, welcome to this new special, I’ll go with special. Spoiler Time Sunday, as the name indicates this will be about spoiler. 😎

Now, if you have read some of my book reviews you might know that I don’t like spoilers, giving them or receiving them, but sometimes I get questions or people come to the blog because they want spoilers, so I decided to oblige the masses and talk occasionally about a specific thing in a book, manga, or anime (movies and shows?) that would be considered a big plot twist, a change, something that cannot be viewed as anything but spoiler in my eyes. 😄

15 Autumn Books to Keep Us Cosy

“Too late, I found you can’t wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.”
Something Wicked This Way Comes

Hello, dearies! 🎪

Following the trend of it’s autumn! 🍂 Have I mentioned before that I love autumn, fall if you must, I call it both.

So, there are some books (okay, a lot) that I discovered that could be read during this time, or any time, but that I thought would go well with the fall season, I said cosy but is more related to the season 🎃 or the months than actually heart-warming or any other warmth you can think of. Rambling.

Okay, I’ll start now with the 15 books to keep us cosy this autumn 2023.

HP and The Deathly Hallows

“The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

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.

Friday Flashback: Charmed

‘Just because I protect the innocent doesn’t mean I have to be innocent all of the time.’ Phoebe Halliwell

I should have known this would be coming. But I didn’t.

Hello, dearies! This is Sela! 😎

I haven’t started a post like that in… hold on, I don’t think I ever started one of my posts like that, but here we are. That is in case you didn’t know my name already.

Anyway, welcome to a new Friday Flashback, featuring one of my favourite TV shows of all time: Charmed.

The story of three sister witches, and then three half-sisters witches who fight evil because that’s apparently their destiny, but all they want is a normal life since that’s something that most witches and other supernatural have in common, while we the mortals, want nothing but the unconventional and magical life. 🪄

The Lost Book of the White

“If I only jumped when I knew where I was going to land, I would never jump at all.”

Series: The Eldest Curses #2

Authors: Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

Genres: Fantasy, Not so YA but some, Drama, Urban Fantasy, LGBT, Paranormal, Romance

5 bright glowing ⭐

Hello, dearies! 🧭

Prepare for some fangirling of epic proportions.

And maybe a bit of rambling too.

The Lost Book of The White takes us forward in time or further (way further) than The Red Scrolls of Magic, which I recommend you first read City of Bones before diving into that one, although it is not necessary.

So, I loved book 2 of The Eldest Curses, does that come across? Sometimes I don’t know if it really does. But I did, and it took me a while to write this one because… life, so my memories are a bit far away.

HP and the Half-Blood Prince

“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”

Series: Harry Potter

Book #6: The Half-Blood Prince

Author: JK Rowling

Genre: YA, fantasy, magic, drama

I’ve been waiting to talk about this one.

Hello, dearies! ⚡

The Half-Blood Prince was not going to be this week’s Throwback Thursday, but here we are, TBT with this Potter book.

I love the whole Harry Potter saga, I think that’s clear after me taking the time to talk about each book, but The Half-Blood Prince made me re-read it a few times when it first came out, and it soon became a favourite book.

After reading it, I had to wait for The Deathly Hallows, so I had to keep going back to The Half-Blood Prince for more.

Let us begin. 🔮

I’ll jump right in, and perhaps go back and forward, so please be patient with my upcoming rambling.

The Red Scrolls of Magic

‘If Alec’s feelings did not last, Magnus at least wanted this trip to be a good memory.’

Book 1 in The Eldest Curses Series

Authors: Cassie Clare & Wesley Chu

Genres: Awesome, YA, Supernatural, Shadowhunter, Magic, Fantasy, LGBTQ+, Drama, Vacation

5 glowing ⭐

Finally, but how I wished it would continue.

Hello, dearies! 😍

Because when in doubt or in a reading slump turn to the shadow world, and they will make your life better. Lighter. Heart throbbing. Beautifully well-written, better.
