  • Beautiful Burn: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #4)

    Beautiful Burn: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #4)

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš’

    Welcome to 2025’s first finished book, but that came from 2024 because I started reading in December.

    Beautiful Burn is about the burn, nah, that’s a bad joke. It is about two people who like each other and would walk through fire for their love, in the end, and if there was a fire Tyler would burn for Ellie.

    Now, a quick note. The only thing that I agreed with Ellie on this book was that Jim was a former detective and Abby was smart and so they would have to know that what the Maddox Brothers said they did for a living was a lie. ๐Ÿš’

  • 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.

    Marked by an Assassin [Eternal Mates #8] Book Review

    Well, that was anticlimactic.

    Welcome, dearies! ๐Ÿ“–

    I have finished reading another Eternal Mates book, number 8 this time. Marked by an Assassin. At first I was not going to read this one, but I wanted to know something so I went back to it, I should, maybe, perhaps, followed my first instinct.

  • My Happy Marriage #1 – Light Novel Review

    My Happy Marriage #1 – Light Novel Review

    Author: Akumi Agitogi

    Genres: Romance, Fantasy, Fiction, Historical Fiction

    Other names: ใ‚ใŸใ—ใฎๅนธใ›ใช็ตๅฉš. Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon.

    Original published date: January 15, 2019

    Page count: 153 (156 with Afterword)

    ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ“–

    Welcome, dearies! ๐Ÿ’

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

    A light novel, or ใƒฉใ‚คใƒˆใƒŽใƒ™ใƒซ (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. Iโ€™m glad I didnโ€™t know about it back in 2019 when it came out for Japan because I wouldnโ€™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.

    Hello, dearies! ๐ŸŽง

    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.

    TBT: Kissed by a Dark Prince

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ’œ

    This one acts as a TBT because I had read this one before, but I re-read it again recently and it almost felt like the first time ๐Ÿ˜„.

    I could barely remember what happened on this one, but one thing was clear, I didn’t misremember the fact that I freaking loved this book. I knew there was a reason for me to like Tempted by a Rogue Prince so much (book #3 in this series). It’s all because of the incredibly honest princes here. Wow.

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

    Welcome to a new book review, this time for Claimed by a Demon King, book #2 in the Eternal Mates series (I would say saga, there are a lot of books).

    By the title and the cover of the book you might guess what’s this is about… yes, romance adult fantasy book, do not leave it out where anyone can see, keep it away from underage readers. Is that type.

  • A Clash of Kings: Flashback

    A Clash of Kings: Flashback

    Series: A Song of Ice and Fire

    Author: George RR Martin

    Genres: Fiction, Drama, Fantasy, Dragons

    I’m completely mental. Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ

    Just wanted to say that because I thought for a while that A Storm of Swords was book 2 and not A Clash of Kings, and I was even going to post about book 3 as 2, had the whole thing set up until I went to check the quotes for it.

    But as I can barely remember this book, other than Dany going through the world, trying to find a place for her people and following a red comet in the sky and everyone seeing the comet all book long. Since that’s all I remember, I have decided to look up some stuff online about it and related to you here.

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿซ

    Today is one that I finished last month (I think). Dune, this was a long read, such a very long read, but I got through it! ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸฅณGood for me!

    So, Dune, have you watched the new Dune movie with handsome Timothy Chamlet? I have, of course, about 3 times by now, might watch it again before the second part releases next year. But that’s not why we are here, and no, I haven’t watched the other Dune movie. 1984?
