TBT: The Hunger Games [THG Book 1]

“Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.”

Hello, dearies!

Happy Hunger Games!

That’s not it, I mean, hello, it’s been a while, and welcome to a new Throwback Thursday!

Have you read The Hunger Games trilogy? Or book 1: The Hunger Games?

It can be confusing when talking about it.

I have read it but one time, and it was enough for me. I did like it, of course, and I was surprised because I first hadn’t wanted to read because of how Katniss says things, her POV and voice were a bit strange for me at first.

But I got used to it.

I have a full review for all three books in the trilogy here on the blog. But, today is the Throwback Thursday of THG because it’s been so long since I read this book, and because I felt like rambling a bit about it.

Beautiful Disaster: The Odd Queries that Made Me Laugh

“I knew the second I met you
that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it
wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.”

Hello, everyone! 🤗

I know I shouldn’t laugh. But I did when I read some of the questions online about Beautiful Disaster.

So, I will answer this odd questions because it’s fun, and I like talking about books, more so the ones about the Maddox brothers.

Have you read this book? If you have not, then there might be spoilers ahead, this is the warning for spoilers. I’ll start.

Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review

The story of Hartt, and another story to soon go to the story in book 19.

Oh boy, I do like the dark ones. And the elves.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

It is a new day for a book review about Eternal Mates, this time book 18. If you were here when I started with these, you have followed the progress with me.

If you arrived at Avenged by an Angel book 16, you might know that I read 3 of these books in a row. 16, 17, and 18. I was building myself up to this one to be honest. I could have jumped from Unchained by a Forbidden Love to this one, but I decided to follow the order.

I am glad I did, and at the same time a bit disappointed because it was a journey that veered off from what I was expecting.

The thing about these books as that you could read them as stand-alone but at the same time, not, because there are some details let’s say from Kissed by a Dark Prince, Book 1, that you might need for this one book 18. So, I read more of these but at the same time could have skipped some parts.

What is Bu Bu Jing Xin? The Novel

‘Zhang Xiao, a white collar worker from 21st century China, discovers that her soul has wandered back in time to the Qing Dynasty during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor and inhabited the body of a teenage Manchu girl, Ma’ertai Ruoxi.’

Hello, dearies! 📚

So I have seen some are curious about Bu Bu Jing Xin, which is literally translated as ‘Scarlet Heart‘ is the novel where Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo came from, I mentioned this on my reviews of this awesome K-Drama, but it all goes back to a book.

I don’t know much to say about it, other than what I have discovered online, so here are my findings.

Friday Flashback: Clockwork Angel (The Infernal Devices)

“Let me give you a piece of advice. The handsome young fellow who’s trying to rescue you from a hideous fate is never wrong. Not even if he says the sky is purple and made of hedgehogs.”

Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.

Hello, dearies! 🩷

Did you know I am Shadowhunter fan? No? Really? You must know, surely.

Anywho… Clockwork Angel, another one from the Shadow World that I started reading, put down, picked it up again, thought about about what it was about, tried hard to get into what was happening in those first pages, and then when I got it a bit, I started reading full-steam ahead. It was like the world opened up and dropped me in London.

Too much?

9 Books that I can easily re-read every year… some times twice a year

“The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.”
From City of Bones

Hello, dearies! 📚

Welcome to another ranting on books that not everyone might know about, but I am very attached to and like a lot, and I don’t mind re-reading them over and over, even when I have a reading list (or TBR if you prefer) the size of a town.

So, what are some books that I wouldn’t get tired of reading? You might be surprised, because I certainly was when thinking back and trying to figure out, what would be that book that I want to re-read?

And so, here I am, sharing because I am kind like that. 😆

What Sunrise on the Reaping could be like

March, 18 is getting closer each day and we expect Sunrise on the Reaping to be epic.

Hello, dearies! 🌄

As you know Sunrise on the Reaping, The Second Quarter Quell or the book about Haymitch Abernathy that we have been waiting for since we read The Hunger Games, will be released this month. But what could it be like? 🤔

Now, I have not read excerpts, many quotes, or nothing major about the book beyond the fact that it is about Haymitch, I mean when I saw the news last year that was all I needed to be convinced of reading this one. But can it live up to the hype?
