  • 50 Shades Darker

    50 Shades Darker

    Author: E.L. James

    Series: Fifty Shades Trilogy

    Genres: Erotic (sure), Romance (eh…), Drama (so much), BDSM (only accurate one)

    Honest, different view after years and reading other books.

    Hello, dearies! 🚁

    I had to look up to know if the trilogy’s name was actually 50 Shades or not. Lol. The Fifty Shades Trilogy it seems, and then the Fifty Shades Series, but I didn’t read Christian’s POV books because it really was not something I was interested in, this, of course, after reading all three books in the original trilogy.

    The Lost Book of the White

    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.

    I didn’t know before jumping into Memories of the Alahambra that it ended on basically a cliffhanger, and that was it. So, I’m telling you straight up so you know when you start watching it.

    Alright, so I sometimes do Anime related ones here as you might know. And Bubble deserved an entry.

    It’s one of the best animated movies I’ve watched in the past three years. So charming, so heart throbbing and heartbreaking, and lovely and wowing, all at the same time.

  • The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

    The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Story: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Book: The Bane Chronicles – Book #6

    Genres: Vampires, Fantasy, YA, Short Story

    Hello, dearies! 🦇

    I’m trying a new thing for Thursdays or Fridays, a sort of Throwback post or Flashback, and I thought this one would be perfect for it as The Bane Chronicles is a throwback indeed or a flashback if you must, at least for me.

    As Today is Thursday, this is the first Throwback Thursday book review, thoughts.

    Saving Raphael Santiago it’s not all that engraved in my mind, don’t ask me why because I cannot recall, but it was of the stories in The Bane Chronicles, so of course, I had to read it.

  • Verity

    Verity

    Author: Colleen Hoover

    Genres: Thriller, Romance, Mystery, Dark, Adult

    4 ⭐

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    First off, let me tell you a bit of what you’ll encounter in this book review for Verity because I feel like some warnings are necessary.

    I gave it 4 stars to not give it 3 because that would affect the author, and I’m sure many love this book. And It’s not that I didn’t like it perse, but I didn’t enjoy it fully either. I gave it 4 out of 5 because it was well-written, and I thought, yes, I could read other books by this author.

    But this review is honest, as honest it can be without giving away the ending. I’m warning now and will be warning you further ahead that there are spoilers in this review, many if you don’t want to know anything before reading Verity like me. I read it without even looking at the genres of it.

    Let’s begin. 📝

  • The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

    The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

    The Bane Chronicles Book #5

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    Genre: Fantasy, YA, Short Stories, Paranormal, Vampires.

    Hello, dearies! 🦇

    With this one, The Rise of the Hotel Dumort, we jumped ahead in time to 1929, and not only that but New York, meaning the place where The Mortal Instruments will be lively, in the future; but we are still years away from that, and we experience the Hotel Dumort and what happened to it and their vampires. 🧛

    This is a tale we wanted to know about from the TMI series, where we read about the Hotel and the past, and Magnus, so we go there and check out the events. I know I’m not saying that much, but this story is worth reading for the first time with an unbias look, so I’ll leave it to Magnus to tell you the story.
