It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote a story to tell you, but a new vlog series changed that. This time it’s about a book I never finished, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and the very simple reason I closed it and never picked it back up. 📖
Hello, dearies!
It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote a story to tell you. But recently I began a new vlog series on the channel: Shelf Stories. 📖
And of course, I naturally wanted to come and tell you about it since you have been with me the longest here on the blog. So, one of the stories I have is about a book I didn’t finish, which is not my favourite kind to tell. And The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society novel is one I always think about, perhaps because I don’t like having unfinished things. 😆
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.
Are we finally getting a Finnick Odair or Mags prequel? I am breaking down the latest Hunger Games rumors and exploring which Victor’s era of Panem actually deserves the next 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.
do you remember these quotes from Wuthering Heights?
Hello, dearies!
Welcome to another rant.
Now, I have not watched the new Wuthering Heights movies, with Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw, and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. But? I have seen some scenes and trailers.
As a reader, who liked this book, I do hope to go to the theater and some of this in there:
Moments in Quotes from Wuthering Heights
Be prepared for some spoilers, nearly without context, if you have not read the book.
“I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.”
“If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it. “
“Nelly, I am Healthcliff! He’s always, always in my mind…”
“What were the use of my creation, if I were entirely contained here? My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff’s miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning: my great thought in living is himself.”
“I’m wearying to escape into that glorious world, and to be always there: not seeing it dimly through tears, and yearning for it through the walls of an aching heart: but really with it, and in it.”
“Be with me always – take any form – drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I can not live without my life! I can not live without my soul!”
“I have not broken your heart – you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.”
“It is hard to forgive, and to look at those eyes, and feel those wasted hands,’ he answered. ‘Kiss me again; and don’t let me see your eyes! I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer…”
“Honest people don’t hide their deeds.”
So, what about all of these quotes?
Well, if this manner of despair is in the movie, then they did a good one; if not? It did not do justice to the book.
This was never meant to be a book review; I have that here. And if you’d like to check out my current copy of Wuthering Heights, I have a hardcover pink one, which is beautiful but deceiving in looks.
That’s all, I just thought of some of the most memorable quotes from the book and I wanted to share, do you have another quote that is like these? Have you read the book? Let me know in the comments.
I cannot believe it took me that long to read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, and that I did not like it as much as The Magician’s Nephew…

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.
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.
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.
