    Reading is the job

    What job would you do for free?

    I do already… so yes, I read for free.

    But if got books for free or got advanced copies that would be even better, I don’t in case you were wondering. I absolutely enjoy reading and talking about books, so that is what I do every week.

    That said, I do have my YouTube Channel with the podcast (also on Spotify), I do have Booktok where I have created book filters, and my Bookstagram is filled with more bookish love than I can handle sometimes.

  • Top 5 Reads of 2024

    Top 5 Reads of 2024

    Hello, dearies! ❄️

    It is almost the end of the year, and I cannot believe it!

    What did I read this year though? It was varied, but with some (a lot) of re-readings in there. But I’ll keep this top 5 rating of 2024 to the books, manga, and light novel that I hadn’t read before and were new to me if not released this year or last, like all the reads on this list were published years ago.

  • Bull$ts and Bonfires: Book Review

    Bull$ts and Bonfires: Book Review

    I couldn’t wait for the book to be over. I’m proud because I finished it, but disappointed because I let Booktok trick me into reading it. 🥹

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    Not all that you read on those descriptions of books on TikTok is accurate, always keep that fresh in your mind as it is true, and it is not the first time that it has happened to me, just that other times I don’t follow through, but this time I really thought: hey, this Bullets and Bonfires might be interesting.

    And it was, but not quite what I was expecting of the book.

    All of that said, I enjoyed parts and bits of this book, I did not fall for the main characters neither the “hero” nor the “heroine”, there were instances that I cringed, and that has not happened to me in… ever, I think, if it has I blocked it out, some parts I basically skimmed, say a page because I didn’t find it completely relevant or worth it of the story, I know it was, this was when Bree was talking to Teller, and to be honest all the side characters got my attention more than the main two.

  • Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    If it is not an easy 5, I have to give it 4.

    Book: Unchained by a Forbidden Love

    Series: Eternal Mates #15

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Page count: 290

    Genres: Fantasy. Romance. Paranormal. Fae. Shapeshifters. Dark Elves.

    I wanted to give this one 5 so badly, and the first 10% to 60% I read non stop, there it was the juicy part and the angst, the falling for the characters.

    Hello, dearies! 💜

    I started off this one without any greeting but I had to get it out first. Well then… what was missing in Unchained by a Forbidden Love? What made me rethink and not go for the top rating? Probably the repetitive moments or long internal dialogues.

    I get it, they were necessary at some points to convey the dilemma of Fuery, not so much with Shaia, she was a bit annoying to be honest.

    What is a Novel of Manners?

    Hello, dear readers! 🫰

    Welcome to a new bookish ramble! 📖

    I know it might be obvious or it might be something you have never heard of, so here we are chatting about a book genre from yonder* times.

    *Yonder is not really the right word there, that’s for a distance like “at some distance in the direction indicated”. End of lesson. 😄

    So, I already know what a novel of manners is, but when I first posted my Pride and Prejudice review, I didn’t know the term. And now, I’m here to share it with you all, in case you were wondering about it, or just want to check some old books.
