Hello, dearies! 📖
I was going to do 5 mystery books to read but then I realized I couldn’t think past 3 books that I would recommend in this genre. Sorry, not sorry.
This is not a genre that I particularly go crazy about in books, in movies and TV shows, I do like those a lot.
So, the list is not long but these books are worth mentioning. Let’s begin. 🎃

Hello, dearies! 😎
I thought to make a quick (debatable) post on some good YA Fantasy books to get you started on this genre, or if you know all of them already, then you can just be reminded of some of these cool books.
Please, be advised that this is my very biased opinion, and we all know that not all of us like the same books or authors and that’s okay. We all have different tastes. ☀️
That said, here are the ten books that I would recommend to get started in the YA Fantasy world, and don’t be frightened to explore a new book. All or some books might be ten years old but it does not mean they’re not just as good as any other book.
Alright, alright, I’m starting now.

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.

Hello, dearies! 🧙♀️
It’s been a while since a did a book character special, so what better way of coming back to it than with Ginny Weasley, right?
I mean who doesn’t love Ginny? No seriously, who doesn’t? Nah, I’m joking 🤭 everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Hi, dearies!
As I enjoyed doing one of small towns, I decided to go over to Europe and enjoy the scenery in the UK, not just London or Oxford, but other parts will count as well in this book challenge.
I have read a few books either by British authors or US authors that decided to set the book across seas, so I remembered that I have read some of those and let’s see if I can name a few.

Hello, dearies! 📖
I feel like I don’t say that enough in the past few months. Hope you’re a returning book lover, who likes my blog, but if you’re new, welcome!
Today, I thought and thought about what to write for my next post, and realised that it has been a while since I did a book challenge, so here we are. What better way to show love for books the thinking through all the books you have read in life, and trying to remember the town they were set in, right? Wrong, it’s nerve-wracking because the more you think about it, the less the memories come to you.

Book #6: The Half-Blood Prince
Author: JK Rowling
Genre: YA, fantasy, magic, drama
I’ve been waiting to talk about this one.
Hello, dearies! ⚡
The Half-Blood Prince was not going to be this week’s Throwback Thursday, but here we are, TBT with this Potter book.
I love the whole Harry Potter saga, I think that’s clear after me taking the time to talk about each book, but The Half-Blood Prince made me re-read it a few times when it first came out, and it soon became a favourite book.
After reading it, I had to wait for The Deathly Hallows, so I had to keep going back to The Half-Blood Prince for more.
Let us begin. 🔮
I’ll jump right in, and perhaps go back and forward, so please be patient with my upcoming rambling.

Happy New Year, dearies! 🎆❄🎇
Here’s this one in case you missed some good ones.
It was not easy to pick one post for each month, so I didn’t and instead, I’ll talk about what happened during the year.
Continue reading “2022 Blog Recap”Hello, dearies! ❄☃
Sorry I didn’t publish this one earlier. Smashwords it’s currently running its annual End of Year Sale. Sale Dates: December 15 – January 1, 2023.
So, here is a new 2022 Smaswords list of books that are on sale or are free, get them while they’re hot. Here are some that caught my attention.
This Christmas, something magical is happening in Sapphire Bay. When a Christmas Facebook post goes viral, Emma, Kylie, Bailey, and Shelley are swamped with people asking Santa for help. Join them as they make people’s Christmas wishes come true and, in the process, find their happy ever after.
With a single touch, I’ve unlocked a piece of history that will irrevocably alter my future. For years, I’ve been hiding in plain sight, pretending to be an average young woman by running my mother’s antique shop and dating cute, ordinary guys.
To earn her wings, Cupid’s apprentice Dar has until Valentine’s Day to match two-time Loser Laura Quinn with Boring Brian Hoffman.
Note: I have some doubts about this one, but not enough to stop me from adding it to my cart.
When the kiss-cam lands on perpetually-single Gemma, she thinks she’ll die of embarrassment…Until the sexy stranger in the seat next to her steps in to save the day. But what happens when just one kiss isn’t enough?
She’s duty bound to a family dream. With a slew of struggles and surprises, can she make this holiday season one to remember? Claire Chandler’s passion has just been put on hold.
And that’s it for this list, dearies! 🎇 Hope you found one that you would add to your reading list or buy at once. And this isn’t about me, but my romance books under my penname are also on Smashwords and on sale for December.
Thank you for stopping by the blog and hitting like, or sharing, or perhaps following the blog if you’re not already.
This is not my last of the year but if you don’t catch the next one then happy Christmas and upcoming New 2023. ⛄

Hello, dearies! 🐚
A new month is here, and only now am I publishing a new one, but the days just blend together lately.
Daisy Darker was my first audiobook, and half of the time I thought, I could be reading this instead of listening and it’ll be faster and perhaps a bit more interesting. But that is not part of the review, just a thought about audiobooks.
