Hello, dearies!
Welcome to another Friday Flashback, this is a special one for me, because of the nostalgia that sometimes Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi brings on for me.
A long time ago, I watched a Yaoi anime, and then, I found out I could read it online, so I did, because there was more story to it than what the anime had shown me, and after 3 chapters? I was hooked even more than I had been watching all seasons of the anime. It was complete insanity from then on.

Hello, dearies!
Have you ever liked a movie so much that you think the book cannot be possibly be bad?
Yeah, that’s me with Stardust, the movie.
This is perhaps one of my top 10 most watched movies of all time, I know it, I recognise the themes, the music, I can quote it. When I read the book? It was a whole different experience, and not in the fangirling, awesome way.

Welcome, dearies! 🍁
Another Friday, another Flashback, this one for Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, book 2 of the Wizarding Saga.
To go along with the newest episode of the podcast: Ep. 2 of Season 3 of EachPage Flow, I decided to go back to The Chamber of Secrets, but there were two things I didn’t say on the podcast because they skipped my mind as I was rambling about the book.
Sorry, there is a lot on my mind.
You can check out the full episode below, I put it here because I’m nice like that. 🙂
So, the dueling club at Hogwarts started by Lockhart, and the introduction to the word ‘mudblood’ or how pure-blooded families see those born of Muggles but with the gift of magic like: Hermione Granger. These are the two things that I later thought, oh wait, I missed something.
Alright, first dueling.

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?

Woah! I went back a lot with this one. 📺
I rewatched this movie (The NeverEnding Story) countless time when I was a kid, could be one of the first fantasy ones that got to me.
It has everything…
But did you know that this is a book adaptation? Yes! It is for a 1979 novel, called The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, and it is German. 📖

To be honest… I don’t remember when I read this or if I found it interesting, I know that I did read it and I had a book of short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, but I have moved a lot and my books are spread around various homes. I miss my books.
Anyway, let’s go read the description and perhaps some highlights from this story.

Hello, dearies! ⛹️ I realised recently that I don’t have one for Kuroko no Basuke, which is odd since I really liked this one.
Have you ever heard of or watched this anime? I hadn’t until Crunchyroll and Netflix put it in my face as recommendation because I had watched… I have no idea what. Honestly, I don’t why the algorithm thought it would be good for me to watch, perhaps because I watched Dragon Ball? That could be it.
Anyway, I watched and liked it a lot. It’s fun, more so if you like High School, School Life, and Basketball. And Seinen then you definitely can watch this one.

Friday Flashback (Flashback Friday)
I had some confusion going with this one and A Clash of Kings. Don’t know why, don’t how that happened. Perhaps because I read all three books in a row. A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, and this one A Storm of Swords.

Fruits Basket (Anime 2001)
Where can I watch it? On Crunchyroll.
Hello, dearies! 🐾
I recently, barely, finished watching Fruits Basket’s original anime (or I would say the crazy 2001 version).
This anime makes no sense.
I’ll jump right into this one. Expect some rambling ahead, and some spoilers if you don’t know about Fruits Basket.
