    2026: Year of the Horse – Books to Read

    Happy Lunar New Year, dearies!

    2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, exciting? I think so, and I like the Chinese Zodiac and the Lunar New Year, I’m hooked.

    So, before I go into books that have horses on the cover or are about horses, did you know this about the Chinese zodiac? I didn’t know, and I like to keep myself informed: The Year of the Horse is about energy, independence, and a restless spark for adventure. 🐎 The rare Fire Horse amplifies that spirit even more. And, it appears once every 60 years, and is associated with fierce passion, charisma, and bold, untamed ambition. In traditional lore, Fire Horse years were considered powerful and unpredictable. A year for courage, risk, and charging toward new horizons. 🔥✨

    So, this 2026 is a fierce one that we can definitely look forward to enjoying and having a spark of adventure. Alright, enough astrology, let’s do books!

    First, you can check the list in video:

    If you’re here for my ranting on words, to read, here are a few books that I found, and one that it is actually in my online bookshelf.

    Dune 2: Movie

    Hello, dearies! 🍿

    Did you watch the new Dune? Or Dune: Part Two?

    I did.

    I was confused by the end of it.

    So, here we are. I had to talk about the movie, and well, this is me rambling on it.

    I’ll jump right in.

    Hello, dearies! 🐫

    Today is one that I finished last month (I think). Dune, this was a long read, such a very long read, but I got through it! 👏🥳Good for me!

    So, Dune, have you watched the new Dune movie with handsome Timothy Chamlet? I have, of course, about 3 times by now, might watch it again before the second part releases next year. But that’s not why we are here, and no, I haven’t watched the other Dune movie. 1984?

    Book Title: Starcaster

    Hello, dearies! 🌌

    I finished this one as quickly as I could, not because I wanted to get it over with but because I had Starcaster on my TBR since forever.

    It was a great read, and I recommend it. ☄️

  • The Last Star

    The Last Star

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Trilogy: The 5th Wave

    Author: Rick Yancey

    Genre: YA, Science Fiction, Dystopia, Post Apocalyptic, Aliens

    Page count: 338 pages, Hardcover

    📖

    I gave it 4 stars out of consideration, and I didn’t want to put 3.

    I don’t enjoy writing bad reviews, or what some might count as bad or not perfect-I-loved-everything-about-it or even hey-you-should-read-this-is-a-must-read. I like recommending books that I enjoyed, but then the endings come, and they’re so, what the frack is this?

    That’s kind of how I felt all the way through the last chapters of The Last Star. Up until the last chapter, I had hopes, the hope that it would end differently, but it didn’t.

    Let’s get this party started. First, I have some commentary on some of the chapters, then it comes the final review, and if you haven’t read my previous reviews on these books, you can check them out before reading this one:

    Though you might find them a little different from this one, and they were written a long time ago.

    Alright, so the warning, Spoilers ahead! Like there are Spoilers if you haven’t read The Last Star. You have been properly warned.

  • Stars Above – 1.5 and 3.1

    Stars Above – 1.5 and 3.1

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    This one will be short and sweet, just wanted to showcase these 2 stories in the Stars Above compilation.

    This may contain spoilers for those who had not read any of The Lunar Chronicles books. Beware.

    The Queen’s Army (The Lunar Chronicles #1.5)

    While I love these books, there is also something very savage about the Lunar stories. Worst of them all is seeing what children in Luna go through, like with this one and what Ze’ev had to face.

  • Shadows

    Shadows

    Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout

    Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Science-Fiction

    Well this was a good and bad idea for me. Not the contents of the book, that I loved, but actually starting to read it and finishing it. Let me explain better while telling you what I thought.

  • The Darkest Star

    The Darkest Star

    Origin Series

    Author: Jennifer Armentrout

    Genres: YA. Fantasy. Romance. Totally F*ing Awesome

    This is not going to be easy. Also this is going to be so incredibly full of my really inner thoughts. Get ready.

    And then I was done. Wow. The last chapter was pretty normal, but before that everything was really heated. I will try to keep the spoilers to a minimum because I want you guys to read it without knowing the main events. However since the first chapters I have been stopping and writing little notes about the moments that got to me.
