    20 Smashwords eBooks to consider during the Summer Sale

    Hello, dearies!

    It’s been some time since I did a Smashwords book list, but with the summer sale still on going through July (until July 31st), I thought it would be nice to look at some books for my endless TBR, at this point is its own bookstore and library together for me to choose from. 😂🥹

    You know what is the first book I am going to name, right?

    I think you do.

  • Friday Flashback: The Black Cat

    Friday Flashback: The Black Cat

    To be honest… I don’t remember when I read this or if I found it interesting, I know that I did read it and I had a book of short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, but I have moved a lot and my books are spread around various homes. I miss my books.

    Anyway, let’s go read the description and perhaps some highlights from this story.

    Author: Edgar Allan Poe

    Genres: Classics, Horror, Short Stories, Fiction, Gothic, Mystery

    First Published: January 1, 1843

    7 Nonsensical Tips for Readers

    Welcome, dearies! 👋🪷

    If you’re here, you must have been searching for fun non-sensical tips for readers. But what is nonsensical?

    According to the dictionary:

    adjective
    1.
    having no meaning; making no sense.
    “a nonsensical argument”

    Thus ends my learning/teaching portion of this post. 😆

  • What type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    What type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    Spoiler alert, it’s not just the fantasy one… not always.

    Hello, dearies! 😎

    I was considering the stars system and the books, and I have always said that if I could give more stars to a book I would, which technically I can if I want but not on Goodreads of course. In life.

    Anyway, as my latest read was a 5 star because that’s how much I liked it. I thought of this question, what type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    Spoiler Time Sunday: Wizarding World of Harry Potter

    Hello, dearies! 📆

    Welcome to a new segment? Special? Section? Category? Anyway, welcome to this new special, I’ll go with special. Spoiler Time Sunday, as the name indicates this will be about spoiler. 😎

    Now, if you have read some of my book reviews you might know that I don’t like spoilers, giving them or receiving them, but sometimes I get questions or people come to the blog because they want spoilers, so I decided to oblige the masses and talk occasionally about a specific thing in a book, manga, or anime (movies and shows?) that would be considered a big plot twist, a change, something that cannot be viewed as anything but spoiler in my eyes. 😄

    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

    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. 😎📚

  • Book Characters to Hug

    Book Characters to Hug

    Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🤗📚

    I know you like these characters as much as I do, if you don’t then you should, for real, go read these books and fall for these characters, it’s worth it.

    If you are just curious, be prepared for a rambling of almost epic proportions. This post will probably make no sense, and this is a warning to bail while you can.

    Thank you for staying! 💖

    At times, I feel the uncontrollable need to reach inside a book, pull the characters out and hug them, bare in mind I’ll keep to the male ones, just because that’s how it is.
