    20 Smashwords eBooks to consider during the Summer Sale

    Hello, dearies!

    It’s been some time since I did a Smashwords book list, but with the summer sale still on going through July (until July 31st), I thought it would be nice to look at some books for my endless TBR, at this point is its own bookstore and library together for me to choose from. 😂🥹

  • Five Fingers Book Challenge pt. 2

    Five Fingers Book Challenge pt. 2

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to a new book challenge! 😊

    For this second round I went with books that I don’t have on paperback but I wish I did. 📚

    So, I don’t have a photo of my hand on each book as last time, but that is okay, too. 😆 Regardless, the basics remain, and each finger is for a book.

  • Book Lovers: Can you see it all?

    Book Lovers: Can you see it all?

    Hello, dearies! 🖐️

    Can you see my latest blog posts just fine? Lately it feels like the newest content is getting lost in translation, pun not intended, but speaking of which, the blog can be translated to other languages automatically.

    Going back to the point, is it that I have posted too many bookish, miscellaneous, lists, and not enough book reviews? It has always been that way in this blog, that’s why I have tried to keep it all very organised with the pages, but do let me know if you’d like an extra layer of where to find the book reviews vs book challenges vs reviews on movies or TV Shows, because those are not as frequent but are also available on the Miscellaneous page here on the blog.

    As it is December, apparently, don’t know where the rest of the months went. And in most places around the word it is Winter! Then here’s a special reading list that we might enjoy. 🏂

    This is not a Christmas-related one, that will come later on, so be on the lookout.

    2014 Reads

    Wow! 2014, ten years ago? You’re joking…

    It’s still 2021 for me. 😆

    What books were out in 2014? I can’t even remember, I was probably reading a Shadowhunters book, I think I started around that time.

    This one acts as a Flashback Friday too since we’re remembering all of these books. 😊

    Also, fun fact, 2014 was the Year of The Horse. 🐎

    And, of course, don’t forget to check out 2009 Reads and 2011 Reads.

  • Do you leave 1 Star Reviews?

    Do you leave 1 Star Reviews?

    Hello, dearies! ⭐

    I was wondering about this one for some time, and have mentioned some of it before, so today I decided to go ahead and ramble for a bit about it.

    Why do people leave 1-Star reviews? Don’t they know that one’s opinions is completely then somebody else’s?

  • What type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    What type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    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?

    Spoiler Time Sunday: Outrageous questions about City of Bones

    Hello, dearies! ➰

    It’s me Sela, I don’t normally introduce myself like that. 😳But sometimes, there’s someone new on the blog, so hello! 👋

    Today’s special spoiler time Sunday, will be for City of Bones, which is book #1 in The Mortal Instruments series, I basically answered one of the outrageous questions I saw online. Is there a number 2 of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones? Yes, duh. It’s called City of Ashes. Would Cassie Clare had gone out of her way to write such great characters just to leave it at one book?

    2024: Year of the Dragon – Let’s read!

    It’s a New Year! ✨️

    Welcome, dearies! 🐲

    This is the official first post of the year 2024. Since this the Year of The Dragon, and one of my favourite creatures (animals?) then I have decided to create a reading list of Books that have dragons or shifters 😏 in them.

    And as a challenge to myself (you can join in as well) I will do my best to read all of these books this 2024.

  • A Clash of Kings: Flashback

    A Clash of Kings: Flashback

    Series: A Song of Ice and Fire

    Author: George RR Martin

    Genres: Fiction, Drama, Fantasy, Dragons

    I’m completely mental. Hello, dearies! 🕶️

    Just wanted to say that because I thought for a while that A Storm of Swords was book 2 and not A Clash of Kings, and I was even going to post about book 3 as 2, had the whole thing set up until I went to check the quotes for it.

    But as I can barely remember this book, other than Dany going through the world, trying to find a place for her people and following a red comet in the sky and everyone seeing the comet all book long. Since that’s all I remember, I have decided to look up some stuff online about it and related to you here.
