    What did I read in 2024? It was a surprise!

    Welcome, dearies! ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿ

    The year is almost at an end, it might for some of you already, depending on where you are in the world. For me it is still Dec, 31st.

    I was checking all the book reviews on the blog and was surprised by what I had picked up this year, mostly, “old” books but that were in my TBR since forever and I decided to read as many as I could.

    Luckily, there was a dragon book in there, so the year of the Dragon was represented in my reading. For the year of the Snake (my year!) I shall see what books are out there that fit the criteria, there should be some interesting ones.

    Alright, alright. I’ll begin.

  • Top 5 Reads of 2024

    Top 5 Reads of 2024

    Hello, dearies! โ„๏ธ

    It is almost the end of the year, and I cannot believe it!

    What did I read this year though? It was varied, but with some (a lot) of re-readings in there. But I’ll keep this top 5 rating of 2024 to the books, manga, and light novel that I hadn’t read before and were new to me if not released this year or last, like all the reads on this list were published years ago.

  • Beautiful Redemption: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #2)

    Beautiful Redemption: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #2)

    I don’t know.

    Don’t ask me what was missing but something was, probably in the last 10% of it. Maybe somewhere in how it ended.

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿšจ

    I finished the second book on The Maddox Brothers book series Beautiful Redemption, which is Thomas Maddox story. And no, that’s not spoilers because it is in the description of the book, unless you don’t all Maddox boys and how their stories would then get ready because everything on this review might be spoiler.

  • Bull$ts and Bonfires: Book Review

    Bull$ts and Bonfires: Book Review

    I couldnโ€™t wait for the book to be over. I’m proud because I finished it, but disappointed because I let Booktok trick me into reading it. ๐Ÿฅน

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ“–

    Not all that you read on those descriptions of books on TikTok is accurate, always keep that fresh in your mind as it is true, and it is not the first time that it has happened to me, just that other times I don’t follow through, but this time I really thought: hey, this Bullets and Bonfires might be interesting.

    And it was, but not quite what I was expecting of the book.

    All of that said, I enjoyed parts and bits of this book, I did not fall for the main characters neither the “hero” nor the “heroine”, there were instances that I cringed, and that has not happened to me in… ever, I think, if it has I blocked it out, some parts I basically skimmed, say a page because I didn’t find it completely relevant or worth it of the story, I know it was, this was when Bree was talking to Teller, and to be honest all the side characters got my attention more than the main two.

  • Book Challenge: The Timeline Book Quest

    Book Challenge: The Timeline Book Quest

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ

    Here we are with a new challenge, at this point I should make a blog page solely for the book challenges, I have quite a few now. Should I?

    Why not? ๐Ÿ˜†

    shouldn't i keep it

    Anyway, you can check out the new page of the blog with all book challenges listed on here: Book Challenges.

    Created and inspired by this post.

    Maybe I should I explain what this book challenge is about, I have rambled on enough. The Timeline Book Quest is about the books I have read and their years of publication or rather a list of years and checking if I read a book from that year. Let’s check it out.

  • Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

    Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ‚

    Welcome to the blog and another random list of books that I have on my TBR and have not read yet because you know… life.

    I have decided to go with Genres as there are various ones that I have picked up or added to my reading list over the years. I am, most of the times, am avid fantasy reader as many of you might know, it is what I live for, it is my favourite, anything can happen there and I also love writing in this genre, but it is not the only one, and of course there are many other types of genres from mystery to romance to plain old fiction that I have read and enjoyed.

    So, that is why if I read a description or see a book cover that looks interesting, I added to my endless TBR and here are 10 different types of books that jump genres… mind you, some might have similar genres, but here we go.

  • Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    If it is not an easy 5, I have to give it 4.

    Book: Unchained by a Forbidden Love

    Series: Eternal Mates #15

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Page count: 290

    Genres: Fantasy. Romance. Paranormal. Fae. Shapeshifters. Dark Elves.

    I wanted to give this one 5 so badly, and the first 10% to 60% I read non stop, there it was the juicy part and the angst, the falling for the characters.

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ’œ

    I started off this one without any greeting but I had to get it out first. Well then… what was missing in Unchained by a Forbidden Love? What made me rethink and not go for the top rating? Probably the repetitive moments or long internal dialogues.

    I get it, they were necessary at some points to convey the dilemma of Fuery, not so much with Shaia, she was a bit annoying to be honest.

  • Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

    Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

    Maybe I set my expectations too high.

    Perhaps I thought too much while reading it.

    Or simply Bleu was not what I was expecting but this had all the potential.

    Book Title: Possessed by a Dark Warrior

    Book Series: Eternal Mates #9

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Romance. Demons. Shapeshifters. Paranormal. Fantasy.

    Page Count: 453 pages

    4 โญ

    4 stars and I am being generous. I have a soft spot for elves as you might know from my other reviews of these series. And I like romance fantasy, however, there was something not quite there and I cannot wrap my finger around it.

    Hi, dearies! ๐Ÿ“‘

    Do you know Smashwords? ๐Ÿค”

    They often have these book sales or deals, where you can find even a free book or a few. But there are some with 25%, 50%, or 75% discount. If you have seen some of my others book listings here on the blog then you already knew that. lol.

    In any case, I was browsing the lists and these books caught my eyes. (This is not a promotion, I just like sharing Smashwords book deals).
