Seduced by a Demon King [Eternal Mates #17] Book Review

The book that shocked me. 📚

Hello, dearies! 🏝️

Welcome to the blog and a new review in the world of Eternal Mates, this time for Seduced by a Demon King, which is book 17 in the saga.

The saga that I didn’t I would keep on reading for so long, yet, here I am because it seems I am a fan.

Being Seduced by This Demon King surprised me 😄. Why? Because I didn’t think I would like it better than others, but I did.

First things first, though, the general book details.

Joy = Reading

One simple thing you do? And it brings joy? You know my answer.

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

It might sound like that’s all, but hey, reading brings joy to my days. I do escape reality with them, and even if it is not a fantasy one, it still is better to go in and spent hours in it, although sometimes I can’t read for that long, unless I decide to set work aside and life, and everything because the plot is way too good to put my book down. 😆

My BookShelves Were Not the Norm

How often to you rearrange your bookshelves? 😸

Hello, dearies! 📚📚

Welcome to a new bookish adventure with me, but not a travelling one as the previous ones, but rather one where my bookshelves were a bit of a mess, manga, paperbacks, hardcovers, light novels, music, and all my new themed decor were there, without any meaning and getting lost to be honest.

So, what did I do?

You know it, a bookshelf re-organisation was due.

Shadowhunter Chronicles News: Late to the party?

OMG. OMG. Oh by the Angel! 🤗

I’m totally fangirling right now, and I don’t care if I’m late to the party, or don’t know when this was first announced, it is still not out, and I have a lot of reading to re-do and to catch-on.

I saw a new novel in the Shadowhunter world is coming in 2026, and is the one that I was hoping for… 🎊 even if it is the last trilogy of the Shadowhunter books, and I’m sad about that, I still cannot wait!

I didn’t give it 5 stars because he is Tom Felton, but it might have something to do with it, maybe for the last half point to reach 5.

Five Fingers Book Challenge pt. 2

The 5 Fingers Book Challenge is back… now to pick other 5 books. 📖✋️

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.

Two Starfields Libraries: 1 of Me

Personal experiences visiting Starfield Libraries in Seoul and Suwon.
Highlight? Book lovers should visit.

Welcome, dearies! ✈️

Once more we’re going on a bookish adventure in Seoul. 📚

Now onward to Starfield. 😺 There are two of these libraries in South Korea, well, as far as I know. The first time, I only visited the one in COEX Mall, but in 2024 I had to cover more ground and see more bookish spots because I was a bit shy the first time.
