Weekly Flashback – EachPage

TBT: The Hunger Games [THG Book 1]

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”

Hello, dearies!

Happy Hunger Games!

That’s not it, I mean, hello, it’s been a while, and welcome to a new Throwback Thursday!

Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? Or book 1: The Hunger Games?

It can be confusing when talking about it.

I have read it but one time, and it was enough for me. I did like it, of course, and I was surprised because I first hadn’t wanted to read because of how Katniss says things, her POV and voice were a bit strange for me at first.

But I got used to it.

I have a full review for all three books in the trilogy here on the blog. But, today is the Throwback Thursday of THG because it’s been so long since I read this book, and because I felt like rambling a bit about it.

Beautiful Disaster: The Odd Queries that Made Me Laugh

“I knew the second I met you
that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it
wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.”

Hello, everyone! 🤗

I know I shouldn’t laugh. But I did when I read some of the questions online about Beautiful Disaster.

So, I will answer this odd questions because it’s fun, and I like talking about books, more so the ones about the Maddox brothers.

Have you read this book? If you have not, then there might be spoilers ahead, this is the warning for spoilers. I’ll start.

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 Bane Chronicles: The Fall of the Hotel Dumort

“What do you do?” the woman asked.
“This and that,” Magnus said.
“Are you in fashion? You look like you’re in fashion.”
“No,” he said. “I am fashion.”

Or a Friday Flashback! 📚

Friday Flashback: Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

“Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who’s trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made of hedgehogs.”

Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.

Hello, dearies! 🩷

Did you know I am Shadowhunter fan? No? Really? You must know, surely.

Anywho… Clockwork Angel, another one from the Shadow World that I started reading, put down, picked it up again, thought about about what it was about, tried hard to get into what was happening in those first pages, and then when I got it a bit, I started reading full-steam ahead. It was like the world opened up and dropped me in London.

Too much?

Friday Flashback: The Neverending Story

“People who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control has the power.”

Woah! I went back a lot with this one. 📺

I rewatched this movie (The NeverEnding Story) countless time when I was a kid, could be one of the first fantasy ones that got to me.

It has everything…

But did you know that this is a book adaptation? Yes! It is for a 1979 novel, called The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, and it is German. 📖

TBT: The Smoke Thief

‘Creatures of extraordinary beauty, power, and sensuality, they possess the ability to shape-shift from human to dragon and back again. Now their secret—and their survival—is threatened by a temptation that will break every boundary.’

Hello, dearies! 🐲

It’s been a while since I did a TBT, but recently I have been feeling that longing to re-read a good book and one that I have loved for a while is The Smoke Thief by Shana Abé.

This was the first book I read by this author I think 10 years ago or so, wow! I did not expect to think back and see that it has been that long since I first picked up and only after a small description and learning that it was about dragons, that was more than enough for me.

“But a man is not forgotten, as long as there are two people left under the sky. One, to tell the story; the other, to hear it.”

Author: Diana Galbadon

Series: Outlander (Book #4)

OMG! It’s July already!😲 Almost August! 🥲

Hard to believe but half the year already, I need two months back.

Anyway, have you read the Outlander books? I read up to this book, which is book 4, then started book 5, and… I stopped without meaning to, I really should go back to it.

But today’s throwback is about Drums of Autumn, which is book 4 and it introduces so many characters in a deeper way.

Brianna. Roger. John.

Back in DoA, It’s life in the past but what I liked about it was Brianna’s journey. Alright, that’s spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books and you have no idea who anyone is other than Jaime and Claire from the show, and that if you only watched season 1, which is book 1 (Outlander). I don’t blame you if that’s all you watched though, it was a good season and a great start, but there’s more to it.

Friday Flashback: The Black Cat

The short story of “The Black Cat” delves into themes of guilt and perversity. The narrator, tormented by mistreatment of his black cat and domestic violence, becomes consumed by paranoia and madness. His efforts to hide a crime result in his own downfall.

To be honest… I don’t remember when I read this or if I found it interesting, I know that I did read it and I had a book of short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, but I have moved a lot and my books are spread around various homes. I miss my books.

Anyway, let’s go read the description and perhaps some highlights from this story.
