Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review

The story of Hartt, and another story to soon go to the story in book 19.

Oh boy, I do like the dark ones. And the elves.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

It is a new day for a book review about Eternal Mates, this time book 18. If you were here when I started with these, you have followed the progress with me.

If you arrived at Avenged by an Angel book 16, you might know that I read 3 of these books in a row. 16, 17, and 18. I was building myself up to this one to be honest. I could have jumped from Unchained by a Forbidden Love to this one, but I decided to follow the order.

I am glad I did, and at the same time a bit disappointed because it was a journey that veered off from what I was expecting.

The thing about these books as that you could read them as stand-alone but at the same time, not, because there are some details let’s say from Kissed by a Dark Prince, Book 1, that you might need for this one book 18. So, I read more of these but at the same time could have skipped some parts.

Book Challenge: Find 5 Books with A Blue Cover

This time, I searched for titles with striking blue covers, not on my shelf (just 1), but across the web. Do you have books with blue covers?

Blue? It was not easy.

Hello, dearies! 📘

Welcome to a new book challenge.

Do you have books in your bookshelf with a blue cover? I went and looked online to see different versions instead.

The Magician’s Nephew [Book Review]

“Awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters.”

Book Title: The Magician’s Nephew

Author: C.S. Lewis

Book Saga: The Chronicles of Narnia (Chronological Order) #1

Genres: Fantasy. Classics. Children. Young Adult (Maybe). A bit Christian. Fiction.

Book Description: The secret passage to the house next door leads to a fascinating adventure. Narnia… where the woods are thick and cool, where Talking Beasts are called to life… a new world where the adventure begins.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hello, dearies! Welcome to my first ever C.S. Lewis book review. 😮

That’s right I had never read The Chronicles of Narnia or any book by this author. But I decided this year that it was time, it had gone long enough, and frankly, I opened the book and started reading without giving it too much thought.

And that was eye-opening for me. But first let me tell my first impressions of reading The Magician’s Nephew, which was not what I was expecting in many ways.

Find That Book pt. 2

Can you find a book with Red in the Title? How about one with an Object in the title? These are my choices. 🐼

Hello, dearies! 📖

New Book Challenge 2025 version or Find That Book pt. 2 is here.

I went and thought of other books to recommend or to re-read, why? Because it is fun and I like rambling about books.

18 Books on my TBR List that I keep saying I will read Soon

What is a TBR list gone wild? Mine is starting to look like that each passing year.

Or a Book Suggestions guide from my TBR. 😆

Hello, dearies! 📚

Welcome to a new book list, and directly from my TBR pile, list, digital bookshelf.

It’s not that I don’t want to read these books, it is more that I know that I’ll probably like them and be so invested in them that I will forget about everything else, and that can be dangerous because I do have to work from Mon – Fri, lol.

But I have so many books that I have added to my TBR list over the years that it is incredible. At least, last year, I finally went through the whole The Maddox Brothers Series, and I was right, I did like them and I did binge-read the whole series that it made me a bit dizzy.

And the same thing happened with the Eternal Mates series, although I hadn’t thought of reading all of the books before, I had read one like 10 years before, and then I wondered about the other books in the series and well, now I am about to finish the whole series (20 books in), but I did skip some.

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.

Title: Seduced by a Demon King

Series: Eternal Mates Book #17

Genres: Demons (duh). Paranormal. Hell. Fantasy. Between Worlds. Drama. Romance.

Author: Felicity Heaton

Page Count: 393 pages (felt like less)

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!

Update 2026 is at the end.

Beyond the Wand: Book Review

It was fulfilling towards the end…

Hello, dearies! 🪄

I haven’t done a review like this one before… 📚

Book Title: Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard

Author: Tom Felton

Genres: Actor Biography. Nonfiction. Rich & Famous Biographies. Memoir. Autobiography.

Page count: 288 pages

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.
