But today is about YP Books (Young Poong Books), the one in South Korea, Seoul: 168-151 Haengdang-dong Seongdong-gu. ‘Wangsimni Station’ Exit 12. There are other branches of it.

Book Challenge: The Timeline Book Quest

“The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.”

Hello, dearies! 🍁

Here we are with a new challenge, at this point I should make a blog page solely for the book challenges, I have quite a few now. Should I?

Why not? 😆

shouldn't i keep it

Anyway, you can check out the new page of the blog with all book challenges listed on here: Book Challenges.

Created and inspired by this post.

Maybe I should I explain what this book challenge is about, I have rambled on enough. The Timeline Book Quest is about the books I have read and their years of publication or rather a list of years and checking if I read a book from that year. Let’s check it out.

Flashback: Songs inspired by GOT and ASOIAF

Are we still waiting for new GOT books? Yes. So what to do while we wait? Let’s check out some tunes that were inspired by GOT and ASOIAF. It’s the least we can do.

Hi, dearies! 🎧

I suppose you have seen or rather heard some songs that remind you of Game of Thrones, and did you think, hey, was this song written or inspired by GOT? I sure did a couple of times.

This post will also act as a Friday Flashback because well, it is Game of Thrones we are talking about after all. And A Song of Ice and Fire, which is not over yet but let’s face it, we have been waiting forever to read the sequel to A Dance with Dragons.

What type of books do you give 5 stars to?

A book that earns 5 stars is one that captivates, evokes strong emotions, and keeps you engaged in the story. Not always but generally it goes like this. 😎

Spoiler alert, it’s not just the fantasy one… not always.

Hello, dearies! 😎

I was considering the stars system and the books, and I have always said that if I could give more stars to a book I would, which technically I can if I want but not on Goodreads of course. In life.

Anyway, as my latest read was a 5 star because that’s how much I liked it. I thought of this question, what type of books do you give 5 stars to?

A Storm of Swords: Flashback

“Old stories are like old friends, she used to say. You have to visit them from time to time.”

Author: George RR Martin

Genres: Fiction, Fantasy,

Series: A Song of Ice and Fire Book #3

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.

New Book Filter: Dystopian Novels

Hi, dearies! 👋

Are you active on TikTok? I created a new filter, this time dedicated to Dystopian Books Old n’ New, if you have some time, don’t be shy and try it out.

You can do book challenges with it, find a new book to read, or rank books depending on what random book you get.

Let me know if you do use it, and you can tag me or share it with your friends who would like it as well. 😊📖

That’s all I have today. Also, look out for the next one about Christmas, holiday-related books. 📚

Thank you for stopping by… and don’t forget to follow if you’re not already. And on social media too.

Happy Watching! 📚🍊

Welcome, September! Days later but it is here!

How is September going to be?

Happy September, dearies! 🍂

Fall is almost here!

Yes, it’s my favourite season! How did you guys know? 🤣

Anyway, September is here, and perhaps it’ll be a great one for reading, even when I am still reading Dune because, my goodness what a long book. But I’m halfway through it so if that’s done soon, I’ll be able to move on to some romances that are waiting for me. Or a few fantasy books that I have on my TBR since forever, honestly, the list is long, and I cannot decide on one right now.

Daily Prompt: I was looking for: what in the world was peremptory?

Interesting question. Funny answer.

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

Hey, dearies! 📚

Quick answer on this one. I am reading Dune and this word: peremptory. It came up and at first I kept reading for a few seconds then came back to it like, what is that? Did I understand the sentence?

So, yes, I had to look for it online. And it means:

adjective: peremptory
insisting on immediate attention or obedience, especially in a brusquely imperious way.

Similar: brusque, imperious, high-handed, brisk

Or in LAW
not open to appeal or challenge; final.

Similar: incontrovertible, irreversible.

Hope you learned a new word as I did. 😄📖
