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.

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?

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. 😆

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?

Hello, dearies! 🧵
Did you know that there is a Jane Austen Challenge going on by canterburyclassics? (This is not promoted).
There is! And I decided to go into it, starting with Jane Austen in January, true be told I didn’t finish it in Jan, but I’ll plan on continuing until the end throughout February since the challenge is month by month through 2025, and I am not really planning on doing needlework, this time. 😆
As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! That’s how they decided that this should be the perfect way to celebrate.
These are the expected month-by-month challenges:
You can still join, of course. What do you think? If I find other book challenges like so, I’ll definitely consider them, it looked like so much, and perhaps I’ll finally read all of Jane Austen’s books, because Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey sit on my shelf since forever. 😸
That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. 😊
I already had a feeling because it had been hinted at in the previous books, but I still was sad when it did happen.
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the end of the binge-read! ⭐
I finished reading all books in The Maddox Brothers series, though, it is not the end. This is only the so-far books that are published because it looks like a new one will be published about Trenton, is it confirmed? I don’t know, but it is in on Goodreads, so it might be.
I also skipped over Something Beautiful and went directly to the last one: A Beautiful Funeral because I had to.
Basically, book 4 Beautiful Burn and this one are a mix in my head, but they are very distinctly different, never fear about that.
What I cannot get over is the fact of how much of a giant Travis is, I really need to re-read Beautiful Disaster because I remember the essence of it, but a lot of little details are missing from my memories. I read it a long time ago.
Anyway, I am remembering all of the books because A Beautiful Funeral, it is basically all the books in one without repetition. I mean that all brothers are in here, and their girls. So be prepared for that.

Hello, dearies! 🧑🚒
Welcome to 2025’s first finished book, but that came from 2024 because I started reading in December.
Beautiful Burn is about the burn, nah, that’s a bad joke. It is about two people who like each other and would walk through fire for their love, in the end, and if there was a fire Tyler would burn for Ellie.
Now, a quick note. The only thing that I agreed with Ellie on this book was that Jim was a former detective and Abby was smart and so they would have to know that what the Maddox Brothers said they did for a living was a lie. 🚒

Oblivion indeed. 😮
Hello, dearies! 📚
OMFJC on a cracker. 🍂
This woman got me, I didn’t see that coming. I had no clue. I still don’t understand what the big secret is about.
Other than the fact that TJ knew that Trenton was in love with Camille his whole life and he still went and asked her out, crappy move there, but I suppose since they were not together it was fair.
But I did not know it was HIM.
Okay, let’s do this review right.
