    TBT: Catching Fire

    Hello, dearies! 🔥

    Are you excited about Sunrise on the Reaping? The movie is growing closer, yet, not fast enough.

    With it. We keep going back to the 50th Hunger Games and of course, Haymitch, and naturally to Catching Fire (The 75th Hunger Games), in the little bit of the book when Katniss and Peeta watched the recording of Haymitch’s games as they were going on their way to The Capitol.

    The Philosopher’s Stone: Audiobook Review

    Hello, dearies! ⚡️

    This is just an excuse for me to talk about Harry Potter once more because yes I have a review about Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, both written and spoken.

    All of that said, this was quite an experience for me. I loved how Stephen Fry read the book, and many times the episodes and hours passed in a perfect blend and harmony.

    Now, there were some things that I didn’t remember and they were not in the movies, of course.

  • 11 Books with Dark Covers [That are not Mystery]

    11 Books with Dark Covers [That are not Mystery]

    Hello, dearies!

    Following my Blue Covers book challenge, I decided to take a turn at darker tones and hues and check for dark coloured book covers, but, these are not mystery or suspense, but fantasy or magical.

    Do you have your bookshelves organised by colour? I do it sometimes.

    It was not so easy as you might think to find these 11 books, but I like research, so here’s the list, you can add it to your TBR or collect these books to make your bookshelves look striking or gothic-like. 📖

  • The Horse and His Boy [Book Review]

    The Horse and His Boy [Book Review]

    Author: C.S. Lewis

    Genres: Fantasy, Classics, Fiction, Young Adult

    Series: The Chronicles of Narnia Book #3

    (Chronological Order)

    Year published: 1954

    Page count: 224 pages (Paperback)

    My rating: 4 ⭐️

    Hello, dearies!

    It took me some time, yet, again to read a Narnian book, and I enjoyed it more than The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, why? I cannot tell for sure. Have you read these books? Or better question, did you read the Narnia books in publication order or chronological order?

    But what is The Horse and His Boy about, truly? The condensed version, it is about a talking horse and a boy who does not know who he is. And no, that is not spoiler as the book description says this specifically.

    So, after reading the book, I was glad, but at the same time took a moment to consider whether I liked it or not, and that has been the theme with these Narnian books, this is the third one (I’m reading in chronological order), and all had been: hmm did I like it?

    Honestly, yes, I am enjoying the stories, not so much the narrative, because C.S. Lewis, put my reader’s patience to the test with the strange wording and point of view.

  • Mags, Finnick, or Johanna? Who deserves the next Hunger Games book?

    Mags, Finnick, or Johanna? Who deserves the next Hunger Games book?

    Hello, dearies!

    Welcome to a rant on The Hunger Games and the upcoming (not official) next books. I am doing this because I saw a post on IG about the ‘rumours’ of Finnick Odair’s prequel book, this is not an official announcement, not one that I have seen at least.

    So, I am a seeker, and I immediately went and looked for it to see if Suzanne Collins had made an official announcement about the next book, there is none.

    The current one: Sunrise on the Reaping, it is barely getting the movie out this year, if and when (they probably will) announce a new prequel, it might not be for a couple of months, now, if you know something I don’t like an interview of this year or an official news report, let me know, I am all ears and I’ll be happy about it. But no, there is no Finnick book (yet). Talked about it? The production or whoever of The Hunger Games mentioned it, yes, but that’s it.

    Now, who would be deserving of this honour? Who would we want to see on the next book prequel? Probably Finnick so we can cry and be completely even more traumatised than we were after Haymitch’s Quarter Quell book, wow, that was rough. Who then? I did the math, and my hopes are as follow.

  • 2026: Year of the Horse – Books to Read

    2026: Year of the Horse – Books to Read

    Happy Lunar New Year, dearies!

    2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse, exciting? I think so, and I like the Chinese Zodiac and the Lunar New Year, I’m hooked.

    So, before I go into books that have horses on the cover or are about horses, did you know this about the Chinese zodiac? I didn’t know, and I like to keep myself informed: The Year of the Horse is about energy, independence, and a restless spark for adventure. 🐎 The rare Fire Horse amplifies that spirit even more. And, it appears once every 60 years, and is associated with fierce passion, charisma, and bold, untamed ambition. In traditional lore, Fire Horse years were considered powerful and unpredictable. A year for courage, risk, and charging toward new horizons. 🔥✨

    So, this 2026 is a fierce one that we can definitely look forward to enjoying and having a spark of adventure. Alright, enough astrology, let’s do books!

    First, you can check the list in video:

    If you’re here for my ranting on words, to read, here are a few books that I found, and one that it is actually in my online bookshelf.

    Hello, dearies!

    I started reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in July 2025, and finished in December. Now, under other circumstances, I would have said a number of things that led me to take that long in reading a short book, because it is shorter than others. But the truth is, I kept putting it off, picking it and reading about 4% before leaving it for weeks.
