  • Books Set in Small Towns: Challenge Edition

    Books Set in Small Towns: Challenge Edition

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    I feel like I don’t say that enough in the past few months. Hope you’re a returning book lover, who likes my blog, but if you’re new, welcome!

    Today, I thought and thought about what to write for my next post, and realised that it has been a while since I did a book challenge, so here we are. What better way to show love for books the thinking through all the books you have read in life, and trying to remember the town they were set in, right? Wrong, it’s nerve-wracking because the more you think about it, the less the memories come to you.

  • HP and the Half-Blood Prince

    HP and the Half-Blood Prince

    Series: Harry Potter

    Book #6: The Half-Blood Prince

    Author: JK Rowling

    Genre: YA, fantasy, magic, drama

    I’ve been waiting to talk about this one.

    Hello, dearies! ⚡

    The Half-Blood Prince was not going to be this week’s Throwback Thursday, but here we are, TBT with this Potter book.

    I love the whole Harry Potter saga, I think that’s clear after me taking the time to talk about each book, but The Half-Blood Prince made me re-read it a few times when it first came out, and it soon became a favourite book.

    After reading it, I had to wait for The Deathly Hallows, so I had to keep going back to The Half-Blood Prince for more.

    Let us begin. 🔮

    I’ll jump right in, and perhaps go back and forward, so please be patient with my upcoming rambling.

    Top 5 Reads of 2022

  • Book Characters to Hug

    Book Characters to Hug

    Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🤗📚

    I know you like these characters as much as I do, if you don’t then you should, for real, go read these books and fall for these characters, it’s worth it.

    If you are just curious, be prepared for a rambling of almost epic proportions. This post will probably make no sense, and this is a warning to bail while you can.

    Thank you for staying! 💖

    At times, I feel the uncontrollable need to reach inside a book, pull the characters out and hug them, bare in mind I’ll keep to the male ones, just because that’s how it is.

  • The Final Girl Support Group

    The Final Girl Support Group

    3⭐

    Author: Grady Hendrix 

    Genre: Horror, Thriller, Fiction, Mystery

    Well, I have my doubts about the horror tag or thriller, it’s more Mystery and Drama than anything else.

    Hello, dearies! 📽

    This one it’s more like a movie than a book, and you find yourself thinking about all the horror movies you watched in the past, and trying to pair those with the characters in the book rather than paying attention to the storyline.

  • Daisy Darker

    Daisy Darker

    Author: Alice Feeney

    Genres: Suspense, Drama, Thriller (?)

    ⭐⭐⭐

    I give credit when and where credit is due.

    Hello, dearies! 🐚

    A new month is here, and only now am I publishing a new one, but the days just blend together lately.

    Daisy Darker was my first audiobook, and half of the time I thought, I could be reading this instead of listening and it’ll be faster and perhaps a bit more interesting. But that is not part of the review, just a thought about audiobooks.

  • The Nothing Man: Review?

    The Nothing Man: Review?

    Author: Catherine Ryan Howard 

    Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Adult, Suspense

    3⭐

    Hello, dearies! 📝

    Here’s another I wouldn’t have picked up from a shelf on a trip to the bookstore, yet I read it.

    The Nothing Man is one of those books that didn’t have my full attention until about sixty per cent of it was already behind me.

    I could have left it on the side, I could have stopped reading long before that half mark, but I pushed on, and I am sorry for those who are fans, but it didn’t amount to much at the end.
