5 Book Authors who are guaranteed to make me immerse myself in the story

or authors who make me come back to the same stories over and over again.

Welcome, dearies!

A new list is here, but not a book specific one, but the authors that made me grab copy after copy of their books, and sometimes get different versions of the same book. 😍 What they have in common? Not much other their amazing way of telling a story and make me want to go into those worlds.

Basically, the authors who are responsible that I am such a bookish girl. High praise, I know! 😆✨️

Alright, here we go. Jumping right into it, I will ramble enough later on.

Cassandra Clare

This was the obvious one. Even if all books I have read by Cassie are the Shadowhunters novels it is still an author I would start reading a book from without questioning much. 🙂

And, yes, there are others books by her that are not The Mortal Instrumentals, The Dark Artifices, or Magnus’ Stories. Like Sword Catcher.

Jennifer Armentrout

For Jennifer, again, I haven’t actually read other books others than the ones with Aliens and such in them, yes, I mean the Lux Series and the Origin Series. But unlike with Cassandra Clare, I do know she has so many other books that are right up my alley, I have them saved on my endless TBR. Like the Dark Elements SeriesHarbinger Series or the Covenant Series, all of which I have read the descriptions of and added to my list. But she has others, too.

Shana Abe

Ah, Shana. I love her writing, she quickly became one of my top fav authors after I read The Drakon Series. And I did read almost all of her books after that.

It was epic. Mostly Romance, Regency, Fantasy, and drama novels in a historical setting (Intimate Enemies. The Last Mermaid. A Winter Rose), and yet, I read through each book like it was a holiday and I had the time. This was years ago, but I have re-read some of her books and still like them like the first time.

But The Sweetest Dark and The Dream Thief remain my top favourite books by Shana. And yes, I have bought or added books by her only by seeing her name.

Laura Gallego

Laura Gallego Garcia is a Spanish author that first got my attention when I read The Idhun Chronicles, ten years ago? Or so, it was a long time ago. 🥹 And from that first trilogy, which I have re read a bunch of times and talked about almost a little too much (Idhunita), but because of how much I immersed myself in the story of the three suns and three moons, I couldn’t help but see her name and immediately buy a book or add it to my TBR.

Now, I haven’t read them all, but I am sure that I will like them all the same.

Marissa Meyer

Alright, finally but not least important or less favourite is Marissa Meyer, although she is a newer like, her retelling of Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel to name the first three of The Lunar Chronicles was on point and creative, haha, that sounded a bit generic, sorry.

Let me start again, I love The Lunar Chronicles stories, Cinder, which is about Cinderella, I had to restart the first chapter a couple of times before I truly stayed and read to them. And it was worth it. And after reading Scarlet, I went and got the paperbacks, and when I started Cress, I was in deep with the story. By Winter (book 4) I was committed and sure I would read anything by Marissa Meyer.

That’s all for this one.

As I was naming these 5 like another three came to mind, but romance authors, lol. There is an idea 😄 a list of romance authors that make me buy ebooks over and over, should I?

Let me know in the comments. Or if you liked this list and would like to see different ones. I’m all ears.

Don’t forget to like, share, and follow if you are not already. It’s always nice to see your interest. ♥️

My BookShelves Were Not the Norm

How often to you rearrange your bookshelves? 😸

Hello, dearies! 📚📚

Welcome to a new bookish adventure with me, but not a travelling one as the previous ones, but rather one where my bookshelves were a bit of a mess, manga, paperbacks, hardcovers, light novels, music, and all my new themed decor were there, without any meaning and getting lost to be honest.

So, what did I do?

You know it, a bookshelf re-organisation was due.

Five Fingers Book Challenge pt. 2

The 5 Fingers Book Challenge is back… now to pick other 5 books. 📖✋️

Hello, dearies! Welcome to a new book challenge! 😊

For this second round I went with books that I don’t have on paperback but I wish I did. 📚

So, I don’t have a photo of my hand on each book as last time, but that is okay, too. 😆 Regardless, the basics remain, and each finger is for a book.

Book Lovers: Can you see it all?

Am I visible in your feed? 📚

Hello, dearies! 🖐️

Can you see my latest blog posts just fine? Lately it feels like the newest content is getting lost in translation, pun not intended, but speaking of which, the blog can be translated to other languages automatically.

Going back to the point, is it that I have posted too many bookish, miscellaneous, lists, and not enough book reviews? It has always been that way in this blog, that’s why I have tried to keep it all very organised with the pages, but do let me know if you’d like an extra layer of where to find the book reviews vs book challenges vs reviews on movies or TV Shows, because those are not as frequent but are also available on the Miscellaneous page here on the blog.

Two Starfields Libraries: 1 of Me

Personal experiences visiting Starfield Libraries in Seoul and Suwon.
Highlight? Book lovers should visit.

Welcome, dearies! ✈️

Once more we’re going on a bookish adventure in Seoul. 📚

Now onward to Starfield. 😺 There are two of these libraries in South Korea, well, as far as I know. The first time, I only visited the one in COEX Mall, but in 2024 I had to cover more ground and see more bookish spots because I was a bit shy the first time.

Reading is the job

What job would you do for free?

I do already… so yes, I read for free.

But if got books for free or got advanced copies that would be even better, I don’t in case you were wondering. I absolutely enjoy reading and talking about books, so that is what I do every week.

That said, I do have my YouTube Channel with the podcast (also on Spotify), I do have Booktok where I have created book filters, and my Bookstagram is filled with more bookish love than I can handle sometimes.

Spoiler Time Sunday: That one Question about Kaichou Wa Maid Sama

“You were the one who selfishly entered my world yet you immediately plunged into silence. What were you thinking?”
– Misaki Ayuzawa

Hello, dearies! ☕🥤

Welcome to the blog! This Sunday I will dedicate some time to this cool Manga and Anime.

But the spoilers come from the Manga, is it possible to have spoilers? Yes!

There are some spoilers if you haven’t read the Manga and only watched the Anime, which is pretty cool.

I loved them both.

Spoiler Time Sunday: Victoria’s Twilight

Who is Victoria in the Twilight Series? That can’t be a real question, but sometimes it is… so today, I’ll answer it.

Welcome, dearies! 👩‍🦰

This will also act as a Book Character special since the spoiler focus on Victoria from the Twilight Series, the red-haired vampire, who Rachelle Lefevre brought to live so perfectly. #sorrynotsorry but Bryce Dallas Howard couldn’t compete with the character as Rachelle had it.

July Book Mail: Light Novels

After escaping her abusive family and restarting her education, Miyo thought she would spend the rest of her days as Kiyoka’s fiancée in peace. But when horrible visions begin to assail her night after night, she gradually starts to break down. As tensions flare and the once-happy couple lapses into misunderstanding, Miyo finds herself leaving home once again…

Hello, dearies! 📬

I got new books in the mail and of course, I had to share them with you. 🥰

Why do I buy so many light novels? They are light, lol. They don’t occupy as much as space as the hardcover books that I want to have on my bookshelf.

But I got this particular ones because I really enjoyed My Happy Marriage Vol. 1 and I wanted to continue the story straightaway.
