That book was not what I was expecting… sadly.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Final Countdown for Smashwords Book Deals [July Summer Sale]

Looking for a new book? I saw some cool ones on Smashwords for their annual book July Summer Sale.

Hi, dearies! 📑

Do you know Smashwords? 🤔

They often have these book sales or deals, where you can find even a free book or a few. But there are some with 25%, 50%, or 75% discount. If you have seen some of my others book listings here on the blog then you already knew that. lol.

In any case, I was browsing the lists and these books caught my eyes. (This is not a promotion, I just like sharing Smashwords book deals).

But when horrible visions begin to assail her night after night, she gradually starts to break down. As tensions flare and the once-happy couple lapses into misunderstanding, Miyo finds herself leaving home once again…

Hello, dearies! 📬

I got new books in the mail and of course, I had to share them with you. 🥰

Why do I buy so many light novels? They are light, lol. They don’t occupy as much as space as the hardcover books that I want to have on my bookshelf.

But I got this particular ones because I really enjoyed My Happy Marriage Vol. 1 and I wanted to continue the story straightaway.

My Happy Marriage #1 – Light Novel Review

Will they like each other in the end?

Author: Akumi Agitogi

Genres: Romance, Fantasy, Fiction, Historical Fiction

Other names: わたしの幸せな結婚. Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon.

Original published date: January 15, 2019

Page count: 153 (156 with Afterword)

🤩📖

Welcome, dearies! 💍

This is the first time I do a light novel review.

A light novel, or ライトノベル (raito noberu) in Japanese, is a popular form of literature originating from Japan. It is typically categorized as young adult fiction, with its primary audience being teenagers and young adults in their twenties.

However the review still remains the same way as it is me rambling here. Alright, alright, today’s novel is My Happy Marriage #1, why specify the one? Because so far there are 8 books in this series. I’m glad I didn’t know about it back in 2019 when it came out for Japan because I wouldn’t have been able to read it as only on January 18, 2022, did the English version come out. And thanks to Yen Press, it seems like I’m always promoting them but I really am not, I wish I got free stuff but true is that YP has a lot of my favourites so I often find myself buying the manga and books from there. In any case, I got MHM in the mail back in June, you can check out the book mail for it here.

1 Year Ago: Podcasting Life

Hello, dearies! 🎧

June was the month of my podcast premiere ✨️

This is in Spotify though, but it marked the beginning of my podcasting life, now if you haven’t listened to the podcast yet, it’s quite alright, you can find it on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music (in some countries it seems), and on Pocket Casts.

June Mini Book Mail: Manga + Light Novel

The happy mail that I love sharing: Book Mail!!!

Welcome, dearies! ✨️📚

I have some book mail to show off…

This is a mini book mail as the name clearly states because I got other things in the same package and only 1 manga and 1 Light Novel along with that.

So, I have never owned a Light Novel, not even on Kindle so I was excited to show of this one: My Happy Marriage. You might know it as: Watashi no shiawase na kekkon, and yes, this is an anime (you can watch it on Ntflix). In any case, it’s super cute, the cover I mean.

Writing. Blogging. Reading. Life.

What are you passionate about?

There are many things we all love and being online makes us have more things to talk about, so for ages writing is a passion. I’m a writer (not trying to promote myself but you can check out my books), so that’s my grandest passion.

As writing is my life, blogging was born for me. But not alone, as I love books too, then those two arts were combined in my life and that’s how EachPage came to be for the past ten years.

I mentioned life and I mean anything from Travel to how we live and enjoy the world around us.

That’s all for me, I was going to post this one yesterday but life got in the way, so here I am: Passionate about writing, blogging, reading, and life. 🤭🩷
