A DNF Book: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote a story to tell you, but a new vlog series changed that. This time it’s about a book I never finished, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and the very simple reason I closed it and never picked it back up. 📖

Hello, dearies!

It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote a story to tell you. But recently I began a new vlog series on the channel: Shelf Stories. 📖

And of course, I naturally wanted to come and tell you about it since you have been with me the longest here on the blog. So, one of the stories I have is about a book I didn’t finish, which is not my favourite kind to tell. And The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society novel is one I always think about, perhaps because I don’t like having unfinished things. 😆

The Philosopher’s Stone: Audiobook Review

Hello, dearies! ⚡️

This is just an excuse for me to talk about Harry Potter once more because yes I have a review about Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, both written and spoken.

All of that said, this was quite an experience for me. I loved how Stephen Fry read the book, and many times the episodes and hours passed in a perfect blend and harmony.

Now, there were some things that I didn’t remember and they were not in the movies, of course.

But I have been working on this project for ASOIAF for a while now, and I’m excited to share the first part of it, and why not with a spoiler moment plus Targaryens.

Spoiler Time Sunday: Odd Queries I saw online about Namaikizakari (Cheeky Brat)

What better way to celebrate a 400th post than with a beloved story? I thought it was time to address some Cheeky Brat questions for those who like spoilers and knowing more about Naruse and Machida.

Hello, dearies! Another Sunday, another potential day for spoilers!

Before anything, this is my 400th post! I thought it would be fitting to do it with a tribute to a story I love. ❤️

A collection of dark-covered books that pull you into worlds of magic, danger, and at times chaos, the kind you pick up for the cover… and stay for everything inside.

It was not so easy as you might think to find these 11 books, but I like research, so here’s the list, you can add it to your TBR or collect these books to make your bookshelves look striking or gothic-like. 📖

Books to Live Action to actually be excited about

Pride and Prejudice and a fantasy book are getting Live-action screen time. Are you excited? I am! Here is the bookish news.

Hello, dearies!

Welcome to a mini update, and a bookish one that I didn’t know was moving so fast to completion.

There are some movies coming to the big screens this 2026, other than Sunrise on the Reaping that is. We already knew about it, and we are waiting anxiously and excitedly for it.

The Horse and His Boy [Book Review]

Going into an adventure close to Narnia but not quite there, yet. The Horse and His Boy takes us through the desert with a talking horse.

Author: C.S. Lewis

Genres: Fantasy, Classics, Fiction, Young Adult

Series: The Chronicles of Narnia Book #3

(Chronological Order)

Year published: 1954

Page count: 224 pages (Paperback)

My rating: 4 ⭐️

Hello, dearies!

It took me some time, yet, again to read a Narnian book, and I enjoyed it more than The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, why? I cannot tell for sure. Have you read these books? Or better question, did you read the Narnia books in publication order or chronological order?

But what is The Horse and His Boy about, truly? The condensed version, it is about a talking horse and a boy who does not know who he is. And no, that is not spoiler as the book description says this specifically.

So, after reading the book, I was glad, but at the same time took a moment to consider whether I liked it or not, and that has been the theme with these Narnian books, this is the third one (I’m reading in chronological order), and all had been: hmm did I like it?

Honestly, yes, I am enjoying the stories, not so much the narrative, because C.S. Lewis, put my reader’s patience to the test with the strange wording and point of view.

Mags, Finnick, or Johanna? Who deserves the next Hunger Games book?

Are we finally getting a Finnick Odair or Mags prequel? I am breaking down the latest Hunger Games rumors and exploring which Victor’s era of Panem actually deserves the next book.

Hello, dearies!

Welcome to a rant on The Hunger Games and the upcoming (not official) next books. I am doing this because I saw a post on IG about the ‘rumours’ of Finnick Odair’s prequel book, this is not an official announcement, not one that I have seen at least.

So, I am a seeker, and I immediately went and looked for it to see if Suzanne Collins had made an official announcement about the next book, there is none.

The current one: Sunrise on the Reaping, it is barely getting the movie out this year, if and when (they probably will) announce a new prequel, it might not be for a couple of months, now, if you know something I don’t like an interview of this year or an official news report, let me know, I am all ears and I’ll be happy about it. But no, there is no Finnick book (yet). Talked about it? The production or whoever of The Hunger Games mentioned it, yes, but that’s it.

Now, who would be deserving of this honour? Who would we want to see on the next book prequel? Probably Finnick so we can cry and be completely even more traumatised than we were after Haymitch’s Quarter Quell book, wow, that was rough. Who then? I did the math, and my hopes are as follow.
