  • A Game of Thrones: Flashback

    A Game of Thrones: Flashback

    Author: George R.R. Martin

    Genre: Fantasy, Fiction, Epic Fantasy, Adult, High Fantasy, Science Fiction Fantasy, and more.

    Series: A Song of Ice and Fire #1

    Hello, dearies! 👑

    I realized that I don’t have a proper post for A Song of Ice and Fire Book 1, aka, A Game of Thrones.

    Of course, I have my very special A Song of Ice and Fire page and a book review for A Dance with Dragons. But the other books I read all in one go and so fast, and so, not putting down this book type of way that well, it all kind of blended together, and then I watched Game of Thrones, so that didn’t help matters. It all just cooled down.

  • The Lost Book of the White

    The Lost Book of the White

    Series: The Eldest Curses #2

    Authors: Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

    Genres: Fantasy, Not so YA but some, Drama, Urban Fantasy, LGBT, Paranormal, Romance

    5 bright glowing ⭐

    Hello, dearies! 🧭

    Prepare for some fangirling of epic proportions.

    And maybe a bit of rambling too.

    The Lost Book of The White takes us forward in time or further (way further) than The Red Scrolls of Magic, which I recommend you first read City of Bones before diving into that one, although it is not necessary.

    So, I loved book 2 of The Eldest Curses, does that come across? Sometimes I don’t know if it really does. But I did, and it took me a while to write this one because… life, so my memories are a bit far away.

  • 10 YA Fantasy Books to Get Started

    10 YA Fantasy Books to Get Started

    Hello, dearies! 😎

    I thought to make a quick (debatable) post on some good YA Fantasy books to get you started on this genre, or if you know all of them already, then you can just be reminded of some of these cool books.

    Please, be advised that this is my very biased opinion, and we all know that not all of us like the same books or authors and that’s okay. We all have different tastes. ☀️

    That said, here are the ten books that I would recommend to get started in the YA Fantasy world, and don’t be frightened to explore a new book. All or some books might be ten years old but it does not mean they’re not just as good as any other book.

    Alright, alright, I’m starting now.

    Books Set in the UK Challenge

    Hi, dearies!

    As I enjoyed doing one of small towns, I decided to go over to Europe and enjoy the scenery in the UK, not just London or Oxford, but other parts will count as well in this book challenge.

    I have read a few books either by British authors or US authors that decided to set the book across seas, so I remembered that I have read some of those and let’s see if I can name a few.

    Books Set in Small Towns: Challenge Edition

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    I feel like I don’t say that enough in the past few months. Hope you’re a returning book lover, who likes my blog, but if you’re new, welcome!

    Today, I thought and thought about what to write for my next post, and realised that it has been a while since I did a book challenge, so here we are. What better way to show love for books the thinking through all the books you have read in life, and trying to remember the town they were set in, right? Wrong, it’s nerve-wracking because the more you think about it, the less the memories come to you.

  • The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

    The Bane Chronicles: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Story: Saving Raphael Santiago

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan

    Book: The Bane Chronicles – Book #6

    Genres: Vampires, Fantasy, YA, Short Story

    Hello, dearies! 🦇

    I’m trying a new thing for Thursdays or Fridays, a sort of Throwback post or Flashback, and I thought this one would be perfect for it as The Bane Chronicles is a throwback indeed or a flashback if you must, at least for me.

    As Today is Thursday, this is the first Throwback Thursday book review, thoughts.

    Saving Raphael Santiago it’s not all that engraved in my mind, don’t ask me why because I cannot recall, but it was of the stories in The Bane Chronicles, so of course, I had to read it.
