Welcome, dearies! 💍

This is the first time I do a light novel review.

A light novel, or ライトノベル (raito noberu) in Japanese, is a popular form of literature originating from Japan. It is typically categorized as young adult fiction, with its primary audience being teenagers and young adults in their twenties.

However the review still remains the same way as it is me rambling here. Alright, alright, today’s novel is My Happy Marriage #1, why specify the one? Because so far there are 8 books in this series. I’m glad I didn’t know about it back in 2019 when it came out for Japan because I wouldn’t have been able to read it as only on January 18, 2022, did the English version come out. And thanks to Yen Press, it seems like I’m always promoting them but I really am not, I wish I got free stuff but true is that YP has a lot of my favourites so I often find myself buying the manga and books from there. In any case, I got MHM in the mail back in June, you can check out the book mail for it here.

1 Year Ago: Podcasting Life

June was the month of my podcast premiere ✨️

This is in Spotify though, but it marked the beginning of my podcasting life, now if you haven’t listened to the podcast yet, it’s quite alright, you can find it on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music (in some countries it seems), and on Pocket Casts.

June Mini Book Mail: Manga + Light Novel

The happy mail that I love sharing: Book Mail!!!

Welcome, dearies! ✨️📚

I have some book mail to show off…

This is a mini book mail as the name clearly states because I got other things in the same package and only 1 manga and 1 Light Novel along with that.

So, I have never owned a Light Novel, not even on Kindle so I was excited to show of this one: My Happy Marriage. You might know it as: Watashi no shiawase na kekkon, and yes, this is an anime (you can watch it on Ntflix). In any case, it’s super cute, the cover I mean.

The Idhun Chronicles: About the Music of Chris Tara

Do you know about the songs from Idhún? These books also included several wonderful songs by one of the main characters… and it’s all here!

Hello, dearies! 🎶

You know my obsession (love for books) with Idhún is real, so here we are once more… the music in the book is enticing and powerful.

This post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read the books or don’t know about the story. 📚🩷

You have been warned. ⚠️

The Only Cookbook I would consider buying: Stardew Valley

‘Welcome to Stardew Valley, where each season brings a new crop of bountiful food to make for friends and family. From farm staples like veggies, fruit, milk, and eggs to foraged mushrooms and berries to fresh fish, there’s always something delicious to put on the table.’

Hello, dearies! 📖🍴

Stardew Valley upcoming cookbook, official book and filled with all the recipes. Is Darn cute and I want one.

Alas, I saw it recently and I can’t get it on Amazon because they don’t freaking ship to my country? What is this, the 1500? Oh wait, that has nothing to do with it, there has been methods of transportation since forever.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I will have to go look for it on Barnes and Noble or somewhere else, know of a good one? Let me know.

What is a Novel of Manners?

Ever wonder what Pride and Prejudice and The Portrait of a Lady had in common? Did you know they are Novel of Manners? They are! And this is what it all means! 📖

Hello, dear readers! 🫰

Welcome to a new bookish ramble! 📖

I know it might be obvious or it might be something you have never heard of, so here we are chatting about a book genre from yonder* times.

*Yonder is not really the right word there, that’s for a distance like “at some distance in the direction indicated”. End of lesson. 😄

So, I already know what a novel of manners is, but when I first posted my Pride and Prejudice review, I didn’t know the term. And now, I’m here to share it with you all, in case you were wondering about it, or just want to check some old books.

Do you leave 1 Star Reviews?

Hello, dearies! ⭐

I was wondering about this one for some time, and have mentioned some of it before, so today I decided to go ahead and ramble for a bit about it.

Why do people leave 1-Star reviews? Don’t they know that one’s opinions is completely then somebody else’s?
