  • Didn’t Finish, Did Finish Book Challenge

    Didn’t Finish, Did Finish Book Challenge

    Hello, dearies! I hope your day/night is going well.

    This book challenge was originally, did not finish do not care, but as that is a little too much for me, on the negative side. I decided to give it my own spin and share three books that I didn’t finish and did finish, and why.

    Enjoy! πŸ“²

  • The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

    The Bane Chronicles: The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

    The Bane Chronicles Book #5

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    Genre: Fantasy, YA, Short Stories, Paranormal, Vampires.

    Hello, dearies! πŸ¦‡

    With this one, The Rise of the Hotel Dumort, we jumped ahead in time to 1929, and not only that but New York, meaning the place where The Mortal Instruments will be lively, in the future; but we are still years away from that, and we experience the Hotel Dumort and what happened to it and their vampires. πŸ§›

    This is a tale we wanted to know about from the TMI series, where we read about the Hotel and the past, and Magnus, so we go there and check out the events. I know I’m not saying that much, but this story is worth reading for the first time with an unbias look, so I’ll leave it to Magnus to tell you the story.

  • The Promise of Rain

    The Promise of Rain

    Author: Shana Abe

    Genre: Historical Romance, Enemy-to-Lover, Medieval Romance, Adult (sort of)

    Happy Weekend, dearies! I hope you’re enjoying a great one.

    Today I finished The Promise of Rain, and said, wow, the difference between reading an enjoyable book and when I don’t. Why? Because I read this one so fast, I couldn’t get enough of it, I had to finish it and know all their secrets. Unlike when I read The King’s Obsession, which I started last year and finished not long ago.

  • The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles: The Runaway Queen

    The Bane Chronicles Book 2

    Authors: Cassandra Clare & Maureen Johnson

    Genres: Fantasy. YA.

    It’s not easy writing about what you have read years ago, but I do my best here. The Runaway Queen is the second story in The Bane Chronicles, the compilation about Magnus Bane life before and some after he met Alec, and from the time we read about Magnus in The Mortal Instruments, we wanted to know this kind of story since he is quite old and had many things to tells us throughout the books.

  • What to Gift your Bookish Friend for Christmas

    What to Gift your Bookish Friend for Christmas

    Hello, dearies!

    How are the Christmas preparations going? Have you decided on gifts for your friends, lovers, significant other, family-member? The question is, what kind of book do they like?

    It has become a thing during gift-giving dates, Christmas, Birthdays, Anniversaries, and the sort, to not gift your friend who likes books, a book. Even when we say that we want one, most people do not seem to take it seriously, I have been given a book for Christmas, once, and one time only. And once, I gift card for a Bookstore I believe, and that was secret Santa and I specifically said that a book would be okay, so yes.
