    What Sunrise on the Reaping could be like

    Hello, dearies! 🌄

    As you know Sunrise on the Reaping, The Second Quarter Quell or the book about Haymitch Abernathy that we have been waiting for since we read The Hunger Games, will be released this month. But what could it be like? 🤔

    Now, I have not read excerpts, many quotes, or nothing major about the book beyond the fact that it is about Haymitch, I mean when I saw the news last year that was all I needed to be convinced of reading this one. But can it live up to the hype?

    Happy December, dearies!⛄️

    I have already been posting this month, but since Christmas 2024 is almost upon us, then I thought to share some books I saw online that are holiday-related.

    Not all of these may say Christmas or December or other things like it, but they are related to this holiday time.

  • Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

    Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

    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.

  • 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.

    2014 Reads

    Wow! 2014, ten years ago? You’re joking…

    It’s still 2021 for me. 😆

    What books were out in 2014? I can’t even remember, I was probably reading a Shadowhunters book, I think I started around that time.

    This one acts as a Flashback Friday too since we’re remembering all of these books. 😊

    Also, fun fact, 2014 was the Year of The Horse. 🐎

    And, of course, don’t forget to check out 2009 Reads and 2011 Reads.

  • The Only Cookbook I would consider buying: Stardew Valley

    The Only Cookbook I would consider buying: Stardew Valley

    Hello, dearies! 📖🍴

    Stardew Valley upcoming cookbook, official book and filled with all the recipes.  Is Darn cute and I want one.

    Alas, I saw it recently and I can’t get it on Amazon because they don’t freaking ship to my country? What is this, the 1500? Oh wait, that has nothing to do with it, there has been methods of transportation since forever.

    Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I will have to go look for it on Barnes and Noble or somewhere else, know of a good one? Let me know.
