    The Bane Chronicles: The Midnight Heir

    The Bane Chronicles Book 4

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Genre: Fantasy, YA, Short Story, Magic, Urban.

    Hello, dearies! Now, this one, wow. It’s one of my favourites in this collection. 🙂

    It was supposed to be an easy one because I loved it, but thinking about the story, I remembered what it means for the rest of the shadowhunter world, and how anything I say may affect the story on the books that came after.

    Mild spoilers ahead, you’ve been warned. 🖍️

    Hello, dearies! How is January ending?

    I managed to post more than I expected this month, so I’m happy.

    I recently finished Hotel Del Luna, and I had my suspicion that I would like it but I really enjoyed it, and it was so much fun to watch with my mom, she joined me mid-story but caught on quickly, and was into the story. Is something else when the elderly love K-Dramas as much as you do, you know they’re good. 😀

  • The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles Book 2

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    Genres: Fantasy. YA.

    It’s not easy writing about what you have read years ago, but I do my best here. The Runaway Queen is the second story in The Bane Chronicles, the compilation about Magnus Bane life before and some after he met Alec, and from the time we read about Magnus in The Mortal Instruments, we wanted to know this kind of story since he is quite old and had many things to tells us throughout the books.

  • Confessions of a Shopaholic [Book Review]

    Confessions of a Shopaholic [Book Review]

    Author: Sophie Kinsella

    ⭐⭐⭐

    Genre: Women’s Fiction, Chick Lit, Humor, Romance

    That was not what I was expecting one bit. This is what happens when you read a book after you have watched the movie so many times that you almost now the dialogues of it. 

    But this does not mean I didn’t enjoy Confessions of a Shopaholic. I quite liked this book if not loved it. It made me laugh and seeing how Rebecca Bloomwood made excuses after excuses to buy anything was unbelievable. I suppose that is really how a shopaholic would be. 

    Some spoilers might be ahead, be wary.

  • Izzy Lightwood

    Izzy Lightwood

    Total Badass chick and Shadowhunter warrior.

    Names: Isabelle Lightwood. Izzy. Iz. 

    Book? More like bookS: The Mortal Instruments. Other Shadowhunter Novels.

    Will not talk about Emeurade Toubia, awesome girl who portrayed her on Shadowhunters TV, mostly because Izzy’s story on the show was so completely weird, and twisted at various points, they changed the character.

    But in the books? Warrior. A great role-model. Funny. Compassionate. Passionate. Hot. I mean, Izzy is one of the first characters you fall for in the books, even before, Alec and Jace, or Clary, who I didn’t like very much at first.

    Idhun’s Memories 3: Panteón

    Trilogy: The Idhun Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún)

    Pantheon – Book #3

    Author: Laura Gallego

    🌟⭐🌠🌠🌟

    I’m doing this one on Pantheon because it felt in some parts like I was reading it for the first time.

    And I completely blocked out 2 facts in this book, or so it seems. It was so real to me that A died, at first I was perplexed that that fact had been out of my mind for so long.

    So, let’s do this once more, and I apologise beforehand because I know these books are in Spanish, and some of you might not be able to read them yet, still, I wanted to share.

    Ghosts of the Shadow Market: The Wicked Ones

    Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market

    Authors: Cassie Clare & Robin Wasserman

    Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Drama

    It took me a while to read this one, but I did so enjoyed it and in the end, it led to what we already knew. But while reading The Wicked Ones, I was actually trying to remember about what little information I had on Céline Montclaire and as such I will now share my in-the-moment thoughts.

    If you haven’t read this short story or don’t know about The Mortal Instruments story, I suggest you don’t continue because there are some spoilers here.

    You have been warned.

    Midnight Sun [Book Review]

    Series: Twilight

    Author: Stephenie Meyer

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    Get your copy of Midnight Sun

    Let’s get this PoV started… I was so excited and I read with excitement up until some points at the end that had the capacity to slow my reading progress but at the same time I wanted to finish because I like the story as a whole, these books and movies were a big part of my life in the past and so I wanted to continue and see what Edward thought for sure, I didn’t expect him to be so mopey at times.

    Chain of Gold

    Author: Cassandra Clare

    Series: The Last Hours

    Some Families: Herondale, Carstairs, Lightwood, Fairchild, Blackthorn

    There is so much to say, and I better give it to you straight and without delay, this is mostly my thoughts while reading, immediately after, or right in the middle of things, so pardon my scattered ramblings, but it had to be like this.

    If you are here, I am going to assume that you know about Sekaiichi and Junjou Romantica because I know that not everyone watches these animes or reads the Manga. Today is about the Manga, and a little bit about the Anime, a bit of a comparison might be seen further ahead.
