The Time Train, Book One
Book Title: Starcaster
4 ⭐
Genre: Fiction, Fantasy, YA, Science Fiction, Time Travel.
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. ☄️

Saga: Hush Hush
Book: Finale
4 ⭐
Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Genres: YA, Romance, Fantasy, Supernatural, Fallen Angels
Hello, dearies!
It took me some time to write this one, but here I am. As promised.
I will give you the randomness of my thoughts as they came when I was reading Finale, so bear with me for a bit. You might enjoy the quotes and snippets from the book.
Fair warning, this post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books in the Hush Hush Saga, including this one, book 4, Finale.
For more insight, you might want to first read my revamped review of Books 1 – 3.

Books: Hush Hush, Crescendo, Silence
Author: Becca Fitzpatrick
Genre: YA, Fantasy, Romance, Supernatural, Angels, Urban Fantasy
Hi, dearies! This one is different from the last one because my perspective has broadened.
Years ago, I read this cool book by Becca Fitzpatrick and then went on to the whole Saga and loved it. That book was Hush Hush. 😄📖

Series: Harry Potter
Book #5: The Order of the Phoenix
Author: JK Rowling
Genre: YA, fantasy, magic, drama
And we have arrived at our 5th Year at Hogwarts School of Magic and Wizardry. 🦉
Hello, dearies! I hope your day, night, midnight or early morning is going well and you are staying healthy and safe.
For this one, I cannot be certain how it will go since it was one of my favourites, the book and the movie, even though there’re tons of differences, I love to rewatch The Order of The Phoenix.
Let us begin at once. No time like the present. 📽️📘

Book: The Idhún Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún)
Main Character: Yes
Powers: Yes
Author of the Book: Laura Gallego
Hello there, dearies!
I had decided not to do one on Victoria from The Idhún Chronicles, but then I saw that this question existed: in the books the idhun chronicles is victoria in love with jack.
Now, I’m not one to give spoilers at all, but I feel like I have to answer some doubts since I am basically an encyclopedia about Idhún. I do not get tired of talking about these books, thinking about what happened in them or re-reading them, and I have lost count of the times that I had picked up one of these books, opened it to any page and read from there.

World: Shadowhunters
Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market
Story: Son of the Dawn
Author: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan
Genres: Fantasy, YA, Short Stories, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy
I thought I had posted about this one before, but it seems I didn’t.
Hello, dearies! I hope you’re enjoying the quick reviews about the Shadowhunters world. 📖
And this is all from memory, I haven’t read this book again in a while, and it’s past time that I do because there will be another one in stores soon, and I am yet to read Chain of Iron, but I am a little afraid to do so, just like I am of finishing The Brightest Night, I want to, but then it will be all over, so I have been postponing it.
Now, for the Ghosts of the Shadow Market, which I think is on my top 5 of books that I love in the Shadow World, it was all Jem on these short stories, and you can check out my other reviews on my Shadow World section. 💘

This one is long overdue.
Manga: Maid Sama! (Japanese name: 会長はメイド様!, Hepburn: Kaichō wa Meido-sama!, “The Class President Is a Maid!”)
Author: Hiro Fujiwara
Anime: Maid-sama (Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!) on Hulu
Genre: Romance, Comedy, Shojo, Young Adult
Hello, dearies! I watched Maid Sama! a long time ago, it seems it was ages past but more like ten years ago. It made me want to re-watch it.
After watching it, I was in a frenzy because I wanted to know what else had happened since, as with many anime, you don’t quite know what happens in the end and you don’t get the whole story. There are very few that follow the original story, this is a bookish (readers) problem that we often find the adaptations to be lacking in some way. But with anime, you get a little more excited and can watch calmly.

The Banes Chronicles Book 3
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan
Genre: YA, fantasy, Short Story, Paranormal
Here we are once again, dearies! I trust all is going well on your end, and you’re enjoying these tidbits on The Bane Chronicles, or perhaps my other reviews, they’re all on the main page, as you might know.
Now, we’re on the 3rd story in The Bane Chronicles, the one where we see vampires and Herondales, and scones too. I will always enjoy a good Herondale story, but this one was set in 1857 when even Charlotte Fairchild was a young girl, and that just makes you think how old Magnus really is, but no matter, we already knew that.

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.

Author: Jamie McGuire
Genre: Romance, New Adult, Contemporary, Fiction, YA
Page Count: 432 pages
Year Published: May 26, 2011
Main Characters: Travis Maddox. Abby Abernathy.
I cannot believe I don’t have a book review for Beautiful Disaster. And honestly, all that I remember is that I loved it at the time, despite being kind of a regular one, a romance, yes, but no fantasy in there. Yet, it hooked me for a time. 💞
Now, there is a movie in the making, and for some reason, I am excited about it. I am not feeling the actors that much, but I want to watch. Filming ends this week, and Jamie has been giving us regular news on it, and it’s making me want to read the book again. There are two sides of Beautiful Disaster, from Abby’s point of view and from Travis’, and the one from Travis freaking Maddox was too much excitement. I mean, he is on my list of favourite male characters in books, so there, I admit that bad boys do hold their appeal.
