    5 Book Authors who are guaranteed to make me immerse myself in the story

    Welcome, dearies!

    A new list is here, but not a book specific one, but the authors that made me grab copy after copy of their books, and sometimes get different versions of the same book. 😍 What they have in common? Not much other their amazing way of telling a story and make me want to go into those worlds.

    Basically, the authors who are responsible that I am such a bookish girl. High praise, I know! πŸ˜†βœ¨οΈ

    Alright, here we go. Jumping right into it, I will ramble enough later on.

    Cassandra Clare

    This was the obvious one. Even if all books I have read by Cassie are the Shadowhunters novels it is still an author I would start reading a book from without questioning much. πŸ™‚

    And, yes, there are others books by her that are not The Mortal Instrumentals, The Dark Artifices, or Magnus’ Stories. Like Sword Catcher.

    Jennifer Armentrout

    For Jennifer, again, I haven’t actually read other books others than the ones with Aliens and such in them, yes, I mean the Lux Series and the Origin Series. But unlike with Cassandra Clare, I do know she has so many other books that are right up my alley, I have them saved on my endless TBR. Like the Dark Elements Series,Β  Harbinger Series or the Covenant Series, all of which I have read the descriptions of and added to my list. But she has others, too.

    Shana Abe

    Ah, Shana. I love her writing, she quickly became one of my top fav authors after I read The Drakon Series. And I did read almost all of her books after that.

    It was epic. Mostly Romance, Regency, Fantasy, and drama novels in a historical setting (Intimate Enemies. The Last Mermaid. A Winter Rose), and yet, I read through each book like it was a holiday and I had the time. This was years ago, but I have re-read some of her books and still like them like the first time.

    But The Sweetest Dark and The Dream Thief remain my top favourite books by Shana. And yes, I have bought or added books by her only by seeing her name.

    Laura Gallego

    Laura Gallego Garcia is a Spanish author that first got my attention when I read The Idhun Chronicles, ten years ago? Or so, it was a long time ago. πŸ₯Ή And from that first trilogy, which I have re read a bunch of times and talked about almost a little too much (Idhunita), but because of how much I immersed myself in the story of the three suns and three moons, I couldn’t help but see her name and immediately buy a book or add it to my TBR.

    Now, I haven’t read them all, but I am sure that I will like them all the same.

    Marissa Meyer

    Alright, finally but not least important or less favourite is Marissa Meyer, although she is a newer like, her retelling of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel to name the first three of The Lunar Chronicles was on point and creative, haha, that sounded a bit generic, sorry.

    Let me start again, I love The Lunar Chronicles stories, Cinder, which is about Cinderella, I had to restart the first chapter aΒ couple of times before I truly stayed and read to them. And it was worth it. And after reading Scarlet, I went and got the paperbacks, and when I started Cress, I was in deep with the story. By Winter (book 4) I was committed and sure I would read anything by Marissa Meyer.

    That’s all for this one.

    As I was naming these 5 like another three came to mind, but romance authors, lol. There is an idea πŸ˜„ a list of romance authors that make me buy ebooks over and over, should I?

    Let me know in the comments. Or if you liked this list and would like to see different ones. I’m all ears.

    Don’t forget to like, share, and follow if you are not already. It’s always nice to see your interest. β™₯️

  • Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review

    Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review

    Oh boy, I do like the dark ones. And the elves.

    Welcome, dearies! πŸ“–

    It is a new day for a book review about Eternal Mates, this time book 18. If you were here when I started with these, you have followed the progress with me.

    If you arrived at Avenged by an Angel book 16, you might know that I read 3 of these books in a row. 16, 17, and 18. I was building myself up to this one to be honest. I could have jumped from Unchained by a Forbidden Love to this one, but I decided to follow the order.

    I am glad I did, and at the same time a bit disappointed because it was a journey that veered off from what I was expecting.

    The thing about these books as that you could read them as stand-alone but at the same time, not, because there are some details let’s say from Kissed by a Dark Prince, Book 1, that you might need for this one book 18. So, I read more of these but at the same time could have skipped some parts.

    I didn’t give it 5 stars because he is Tom Felton, but it might have something to do with it, maybe for the last half point to reach 5.

    Five Fingers Book Challenge pt. 2

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to a new book challenge! 😊

    For this second round I went with books that I don’t have on paperback but I wish I did. πŸ“š

    So, I don’t have a photo of my hand on each book as last time, but that is okay, too. πŸ˜† Regardless, the basics remain, and each finger is for a book.

    Welcome, dearies! ✈️

    Once more we’re going on a bookish adventure in Seoul. πŸ“š

    Now onward to Starfield. 😺 There are two of these libraries in South Korea, well, as far as I know. The first time, I only visited the one in COEX Mall, but in 2024 I had to cover more ground and see more bookish spots because I was a bit shy the first time.

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to a new Adventure! πŸ“š

    Last year (2024) I decided to hop on a journey of bookstores of Seoul, and Arc n’ Book was one of those that I visited. Why didn’t I visit more of these in 2023 on my first visit to the country is beyond me, but probably something to do with being awed by everything. 😸

  • Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

    Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

    Hello, dearies! 🧡

    Did you know that there is a Jane Austen Challenge going on by canterburyclassics? (This is not promoted).

    There is! And I decided to go into it, starting with Jane Austen in January, true be told I didn’t finish it in Jan, but I’ll plan on continuing until the end throughout February since the challenge is month by month through 2025, and I am not really planning on doing needlework, this time. πŸ˜†

    As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! ⁠That’s how they decided that this should be the perfect way to celebrate.

    These are the expected month-by-month challenges:

    books 2025


    You can still join, of course. What do you think? If I find other book challenges like so, I’ll definitely consider them, it looked like so much, and perhaps I’ll finally read all of Jane Austen’s books, because Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey sit on my shelf since forever. 😸

    That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. 😊
