Weekly Flashback – Page 3

A Clash of Kings: Flashback

“Valar Morghulis.”

Series: A Song of Ice and Fire

Genres: Fiction, Drama, Fantasy, Dragons

I’m completely mental. Hello, dearies! 🕶️

Just wanted to say that because I thought for a while that A Storm of Swords was book 2 and not A Clash of Kings, and I was even going to post about book 3 as 2, had the whole thing set up until I went to check the quotes for it.

But as I can barely remember this book, other than Dany going through the world, trying to find a place for her people and following a red comet in the sky and everyone seeing the comet all book long. Since that’s all I remember, I have decided to look up some stuff online about it and related to you here.

Friday Flashback: Fruits Basket (2001)

Prepare for some serious ranting.

Fruits Basket (Anime 2001)

Where can I watch it? On Crunchyroll.

Hello, dearies! 🐾

I recently, barely, finished watching Fruits Basket’s original anime (or I would say the crazy 2001 version).

This anime makes no sense.

I’ll jump right into this one. Expect some rambling ahead, and some spoilers if you don’t know about Fruits Basket.

Friday Flashback: Insurgent

“We both have war inside us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us.”

Hello, dearies! 💖

The first time I read Insurgent, it was during the rush of dystopia and just after reading Divergent (or close), and they both made me realise how much I liked Dystopia.

I discovered that this world in the future where everything went to hell was fascinating.

TBT: The Secret Adversary

“Never tell all you know—not even to the person you know best.”

Or as I knew it before in the Spanis version: El Misterioso Mr. Brown.

Author: Agatha Christie

Genres: Detective, Crime Novel

I can’t remember when I read this book, maybe over ten years ago or more, but I do remember this, I liked and thought it was cool to get into suspense and think, oh what’s happening, uuh what’s that?

It was nice. But The Secret Adversary is about looking for clues, following up people, and finding them.

A Game of Thrones: Flashback

“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”

Author: George R.R. Martin

Genre: Fantasy, Fiction, Epic Fantasy, Adult, High Fantasy, Science Fiction Fantasy, and more.

Series: A Song of Ice and Fire #1

Hello, dearies! 👑

I realized that I don’t have a proper post for A Song of Ice and Fire Book 1, aka, A Game of Thrones.

Of course, I have my very special A Song of Ice and Fire page and a book review for A Dance with Dragons. But the other books I read all in one go and so fast, and so, not putting down this book type of way that well, it all kind of blended together, and then I watched Game of Thrones, so that didn’t help matters. It all just cooled down.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: TBT

‘It was much pleasanter at home,’ thought poor Alice, ‘when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet — and yet — it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what can have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I’ll write one.’

Author: Lewis Carroll

Genre: Nonsense Literature, Fantasy, Adventure

When did I read it? Ages ago.

Hello, dearies! 🫖

When I was little, I loved watching the Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland. Just a fun fact for you.

I didn’t read the book until my teenage days and found it as nuts as you can imagine.

It’s not bad. It’s just a lot of things happening.

Stranger Things Season 4 – Part 2: Wow Wow

How could all of it go sideways so terribly?

By the time I finished watching this one, I was too shocked to even write about it, so I let it sit in my mind…

Crass mistake, now I can hardly remember what was that happened except for the end of season 4 of Stranger Things. 🤣🫠

Hello, dearies!

Welcome to a Flashback Friday or Friday Flashback, whichever you prefer. Here we are with Stranger Things once more.

Friday Flashback: Charmed

‘Just because I protect the innocent doesn’t mean I have to be innocent all of the time.’ Phoebe Halliwell

I should have known this would be coming. But I didn’t.

Hello, dearies! This is Sela! 😎

I haven’t started a post like that in… hold on, I don’t think I ever started one of my posts like that, but here we are. That is in case you didn’t know my name already.

Anyway, welcome to a new Friday Flashback, featuring one of my favourite TV shows of all time: Charmed.

The story of three sister witches, and then three half-sisters witches who fight evil because that’s apparently their destiny, but all they want is a normal life since that’s something that most witches and other supernatural have in common, while we the mortals, want nothing but the unconventional and magical life. 🪄

TBT: The Awakening

Elena:
Searching for the ultimate thrill, she vowed to have Stefan.

Series: The Vampire Diaries

Book: The Awakening

Author: L.J Smith

This one won’t be easy.

Hello, dearies! 🦇

While I love The Vampire Diaries series, because I do, I think that out of the YA vampire books I’ve read or tried to, this is my favourite because the Salvatore brothers, I mean the story behind it is cool.

But, the first four books of the Series are not on my 5 stars list, the last 3 books on the other hand, yes, I can get behind and the story there it’s just great.

Flashback: Onyx

“His lips tipped up one side and he leaned toward me, his mouth inches from mine. “Come and get it.”

Hello, dearies!

Today’s Flashback is more an I Wish I could Read this Book as if it Were the First Time.

So, Onyx. Do you know the Lux Series? This is book 2 in the series, I have talked a bit about them in the past, back when I first read them and loved them so much.
