  • HP and The Deathly Hallows

    HP and The Deathly Hallows

    Author: J.K Rowling

    Saga: Harry Potter Book #7

    Genre: Epic Fantasy, Young Adult, Drama, Magic, Urban, and so much magic and fantasy

    Hello, dearies! 🪄

    We have arrived at this one at last, it was a long road while I talked about each book. All reviews here.

    Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I remember being so excited because the final book would come soon, and I had re-read The Half-Blood Prince a couple of times already because it was so good, not the end but that just made you want to read the next book more.

  • TBT: The Secret Adversary

    TBT: The Secret Adversary

    Or as I knew it before in the Spanis version: El Misterioso Mr. Brown.

    Author: Agatha Christie

    Genres: Detective, Crime Novel

    I can’t remember when I read this book, maybe over ten years ago or more, but I do remember this, I liked and thought it was cool to get into suspense and think, oh what’s happening, uuh what’s that?

    It was nice. But The Secret Adversary is about looking for clues, following up people, and finding them.

  • Lock Every Door

    Lock Every Door

    Genre: Suspense, Drama (more drama), Mystery, Audiobook

    Author: Riley Sager

    3.5 ⭐️

    Not what you would expect. Or what you wanted. 🫠

    When you have a title that it’s Lock Every Door, you would think that there’s more suspense or paranormal. So, be warned ⚠️ it might not be what you thought and not in the ooh-such-a-good plot twist.

  • The Lost Book of the White

    The Lost Book of the White

    Series: The Eldest Curses #2

    Authors: Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu

    Genres: Fantasy, Not so YA but some, Drama, Urban Fantasy, LGBT, Paranormal, Romance

    5 bright glowing ⭐

    Hello, dearies! 🧭

    Prepare for some fangirling of epic proportions.

    And maybe a bit of rambling too.

    The Lost Book of The White takes us forward in time or further (way further) than The Red Scrolls of Magic, which I recommend you first read City of Bones before diving into that one, although it is not necessary.

    So, I loved book 2 of The Eldest Curses, does that come across? Sometimes I don’t know if it really does. But I did, and it took me a while to write this one because… life, so my memories are a bit far away.

  • The Keeper: A Stars Above Story

    The Keeper: A Stars Above Story

    Series: The Lunar Chronicles

    Book: Stars Above

    Story: The Keeper

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult, Science Fiction, Retellings, Short Stories

    This will be short. 😆

    So, I am slowly but surely making my way through the stories in Stars Above. I read it all in the wrong order, so don’t judge me. You can check my other reviews for it here.

    This one, The Keeper, is the first story in the book. If you have ever read The Lunar Chronicles book 1 to 4, then you will probably be into reading this one. If you haven’t already.

  • And Then There Were None: Quick View

    And Then There Were None: Quick View

    Author: Agatha Christie

    Genre: Classics, Fiction, Crime, Thriller, Mystery Thriller, Mystery

    First time I read this one was like fifteen years ago, and yes, this is a classic mystery that I would recommend, and that sucks you in, unlike other mystery or thrillers I have read where there is not much to it.

    I don’t mean to be so dismissive of new stories, but some of those books leave me with a sense of: meh. I cannot help. Even if I do have a section on Mystery/Thriller here on the blog because I recently read more books in that genre than I ever did in the past.

    Anyway, going back to And Then There Were None, which even for my young mind, it was quite good and left me wondering about it for a few days. I don’t remember the whole meat in the middle of it, but I know that I liked it.

    10 YA Fantasy Books to Get Started

    Hello, dearies! 😎

    I thought to make a quick (debatable) post on some good YA Fantasy books to get you started on this genre, or if you know all of them already, then you can just be reminded of some of these cool books.

    Please, be advised that this is my very biased opinion, and we all know that not all of us like the same books or authors and that’s okay. We all have different tastes. ☀️

    That said, here are the ten books that I would recommend to get started in the YA Fantasy world, and don’t be frightened to explore a new book. All or some books might be ten years old but it does not mean they’re not just as good as any other book.

    Alright, alright, I’m starting now.

    Books Set in the UK Challenge

    Hi, dearies!

    As I enjoyed doing one of small towns, I decided to go over to Europe and enjoy the scenery in the UK, not just London or Oxford, but other parts will count as well in this book challenge.

    I have read a few books either by British authors or US authors that decided to set the book across seas, so I remembered that I have read some of those and let’s see if I can name a few.
