    Book Challenge: The Timeline Book Quest

    Hello, dearies! 🍁

    Here we are with a new challenge, at this point I should make a blog page solely for the book challenges, I have quite a few now. Should I?

    Why not? πŸ˜†

    shouldn't i keep it

    Anyway, you can check out the new page of the blog with all book challenges listed on here: Book Challenges.

    Created and inspired by this post.

    Maybe I should I explain what this book challenge is about, I have rambled on enough. The Timeline Book Quest is about the books I have read and their years of publication or rather a list of years and checking if I read a book from that year. Let’s check it out.

  • Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

    Book Challenge: Jumping Genres in 10 Books

    Hello, dearies! πŸ‚

    Welcome to the blog and another random list of books that I have on my TBR and have not read yet because you know… life.

    I have decided to go with Genres as there are various ones that I have picked up or added to my reading list over the years. I am, most of the times, am avid fantasy reader as many of you might know, it is what I live for, it is my favourite, anything can happen there and I also love writing in this genre, but it is not the only one, and of course there are many other types of genres from mystery to romance to plain old fiction that I have read and enjoyed.

    So, that is why if I read a description or see a book cover that looks interesting, I added to my endless TBR and here are 10 different types of books that jump genres… mind you, some might have similar genres, but here we go.

  • Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    If it is not an easy 5, I have to give it 4.

    Book: Unchained by a Forbidden Love

    Series: Eternal Mates #15

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Page count: 290

    Genres: Fantasy. Romance. Paranormal. Fae. Shapeshifters. Dark Elves.

    I wanted to give this one 5 so badly, and the first 10% to 60% I read non stop, there it was the juicy part and the angst, the falling for the characters.

    Hello, dearies! πŸ’œ

    I started off this one without any greeting but I had to get it out first. Well then… what was missing in Unchained by a Forbidden Love? What made me rethink and not go for the top rating? Probably the repetitive moments or long internal dialogues.

    I get it, they were necessary at some points to convey the dilemma of Fuery, not so much with Shaia, she was a bit annoying to be honest.

  • TBT: The Smoke Thief

    TBT: The Smoke Thief

    Hello, dearies! 🐲

    It’s been a while since I did a TBT, but recently I have been feeling that longing to re-read a good book and one that I have loved for a while is The Smoke Thief by Shana AbΓ©.

    This was the first book I read by this author I think 10 years ago or so, wow! I did not expect to think back and see that it has been that long since I first picked up and only after a small description and learning that it was about dragons, that was more than enough for me.

  • Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

    Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

    Maybe I set my expectations too high.

    Perhaps I thought too much while reading it.

    Or simply Bleu was not what I was expecting but this had all the potential.

    Book Title: Possessed by a Dark Warrior

    Book Series: Eternal Mates #9

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Romance. Demons. Shapeshifters. Paranormal. Fantasy.

    Page Count: 453 pages

    4 ⭐

    4 stars and I am being generous. I have a soft spot for elves as you might know from my other reviews of these series. And I like romance fantasy, however, there was something not quite there and I cannot wrap my finger around it.

  • Spoiler Time Sunday: Victoria’s Twilight

    Spoiler Time Sunday: Victoria’s Twilight

    Welcome, dearies! πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦°

    This will also act as a Book Character special since the spoiler focus on Victoria from the Twilight Series, the red-haired vampire, who Rachelle Lefevre brought to live so perfectly. #sorrynotsorry but Bryce Dallas Howard couldn’t compete with the character as Rachelle had it.

    Marked by an Assassin [Eternal Mates #8] Book Review

    Well, that was anticlimactic.

    Welcome, dearies! πŸ“–

    I have finished reading another Eternal Mates book, number 8 this time. Marked by an Assassin. At first I was not going to read this one, but I wanted to know something so I went back to it, I should, maybe, perhaps, followed my first instinct.

    It was the best ending for this romance/sports manga. Yuki and Shō are really my favourite.
