2024: Year of the Dragon – Let’s read!

It’s a New Year! ✨️

Welcome, dearies! 🐲

This is the official first post of the year 2024. Since this the Year of The Dragon, and one of my favourite creatures (animals?) then I have decided to create a reading list of Books that have dragons or shifters 😏 in them.

And as a challenge to myself (you can join in as well) I will do my best to read all of these books this 2024.

Daily Prompt: Always a book, never not a book

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

It’s a new Year, dearies! 🐲

I saw this prompt and immediately thought of books, but to make more into the ‘greatest’ gift, I’d say a first edition of a classic like Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, or Frankenstein.

But I would take any book to be honest.

A Box Set with a saga or a trunk full of books. I’m not picky, yet, for some reason, I don’t get that many books as gifts. My fellow readers have gifted me gift cards from bookstores and I have done the same, but my family gifts me anything but… perhaps one time or twice.

So, the greatest gift someone could give me, would be a book. Paperback or Hardback, I’d take it. 😎📚

New Mystery Book Filter – Live!

Do you use effects on TikTok?

Hello, dearies! 👻

So, some of you might know that I’m on TikTok and that I also love talking and creating new vids about books, manga, and anime over there, as well as some Doramas and anything for that matter.

Anywho, I created a new filter/effect for Mystery Autumn Books, so you can pick your next read, rate a book, talk about a new book, or a classic, or anything you want. I invite you to have fun with it. 😄📚🍂

This is the one.

Mystery Autumn Books

Thank you, dearies!

I hope you’ll enjoy it. 👻🤡📔📚

15 Autumn Books to Keep Us Cosy

“Too late, I found you can’t wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.”
Something Wicked This Way Comes

Hello, dearies! 🎪

Following the trend of it’s autumn! 🍂 Have I mentioned before that I love autumn, fall if you must, I call it both.

So, there are some books (okay, a lot) that I discovered that could be read during this time, or any time, but that I thought would go well with the fall season, I said cosy but is more related to the season 🎃 or the months than actually heart-warming or any other warmth you can think of. Rambling.

Okay, I’ll start now with the 15 books to keep us cosy this autumn 2023.

Flashback: The 5th Wave

“You can only call someone crazy if there’s someone else who’s normal. Like good and evil. If everything was good, then nothing would be good.”

Hello, dearies! 📙

This is not a book review.

Here we are again, another week, another throwback or flashback as it is, a Friday Flashback. Last week, I started this little section with a review (sort of) for The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago, which marked the first look into the past, and it was a TBT.

Now, this week I decided to go with a book that I loved in the past, and on the second round of reading it, The 5th Wave. I have a review already for this back, and it was done a long time ago, you can check it out here: The 5th Wave review.

This time around, I wanted to talk about some of the characters and the story. Let’s begin. 📚

Behind the Reader

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies,” said Jojen. “The man who never reads lives only one.”

Hey, dearies! How are you today?

So, I remembered, realised, noticed, however you want to call it, that I don’t have much on me on the blog, though how obsessed I am with some books, characters and authors is also a statement.

But today, I’m doing a bit of fast facts on me since I’m not only a reader but also a writer, a photography aficionado, a traveller, a sister, an aunt, a friend and many other things. But I’ll keep it short, as you know I do, sometimes.

Behind the Reader

Fast facts about me. I’ll number them.

  1. I’m a self-published author.
  2. I have a degree in Telecommunications Engineering.
  3. I don’t use my degree. I prefer to do other things that have little to do with telecommunications.
  4. I started writing when I was about fourteen? Before that, I kept journals of my daily life.
  5. One of the first books I read and loved and wanted more of was The Chamber of Secrets.
  6. I write better than I speak.
  7. I have an ISFP personality. I don’t think that’s much of a shock, but for those who don’t know, it stands for Introverted, Observant, Feeling, and Prospecting personality traits.
  8. I manage all my social media accounts.
  9. I create all of my content, and I design the covers of my own books.

And that’s it. I just thought I should share a bit more since I feel like, at times, people don’t realise there is an actual person behind all of this. 🙂 Thank you for reading. And if you’re on any social media, find me as each.page or sela.ordaz.author or amanda_littrell_author.

Happy Easter Week! 🐰

Didn’t Finish, Did Finish Book Challenge

“She was spirit and presence, as rare and brilliant as snowflakes in sunlight, and he could not bring himself to harm her.”
The Smoke Thief

Hello, dearies! I hope your day/night is going well.

This book challenge was originally, did not finish do not care, but as that is a little too much for me, on the negative side. I decided to give it my own spin and share three books that I didn’t finish and did finish, and why.

Enjoy! 📲

Hush Hush Book 1-3 Revamped Review

‘“Since we’re keeping it primal, you smell good,” he observed. He moved closer, making me acutely aware of his size, the rise and fall of his chest, the warm burn of his skin on mine. Electricity tingled along my scalp, and I shuddered with pleasure.’

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. 😄📖

HP and the Order of the Phoenix

“You do care,” said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”

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. 📽️📘
