  • The Only Cookbook I would consider buying: Stardew Valley

    The Only Cookbook I would consider buying: Stardew Valley

    Hello, dearies! 📖🍴

    Stardew Valley upcoming cookbook, official book and filled with all the recipes.  Is Darn cute and I want one.

    Alas, I saw it recently and I can’t get it on Amazon because they don’t freaking ship to my country? What is this, the 1500? Oh wait, that has nothing to do with it, there has been methods of transportation since forever.

    Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I will have to go look for it on Barnes and Noble or somewhere else, know of a good one? Let me know.

  • What is a Novel of Manners?

    What is a Novel of Manners?

    Hello, dear readers! 🫰

    Welcome to a new bookish ramble! 📖

    I know it might be obvious or it might be something you have never heard of, so here we are chatting about a book genre from yonder* times.

    *Yonder is not really the right word there, that’s for a distance like “at some distance in the direction indicated”. End of lesson. 😄

    So, I already know what a novel of manners is, but when I first posted my Pride and Prejudice review, I didn’t know the term. And now, I’m here to share it with you all, in case you were wondering about it, or just want to check some old books.

  • Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Series: Eternal Mates

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Dragons, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Urban

    That title sounds a bit stronger than the book actually is…

    It took me a while to finish to be honest.

    But the last 10% it came rolling back to life.

    Also, one chapter was dedicated entirely to introducing a new character and get your attention to another book. It was too obvious but it did the job because I added that book to my TBR 😅😆. I’m a sucker for fantasy, angels, and romances. As I have previously stated on these reviews about the Eternal Mates Series.

    Hello, dearies! I might end up reading all 19 books one day. For now, I’m mixing and jumping among them, even when I usually like to read books in order, this particular series can be read like this almost without problem.

    Well, it hadn’t been such a problem so far until this one where there were some characters that I knew who they were but didn’t know they ended up together, so spoilers for me. 🥹🥲 But it’s alright, I brought that on myself for skipping books.

    7 Nonsensical Tips for Readers

    Welcome, dearies! 👋🪷

    If you’re here, you must have been searching for fun non-sensical tips for readers. But what is nonsensical?

    According to the dictionary:

    adjective
    1.
    having no meaning; making no sense.
    “a nonsensical argument”

    Thus ends my learning/teaching portion of this post. 😆

  • TBT: Kissed by a Dark Prince

    TBT: Kissed by a Dark Prince

    Hello, dearies! 💜

    This one acts as a TBT because I had read this one before, but I re-read it again recently and it almost felt like the first time 😄.

    I could barely remember what happened on this one, but one thing was clear, I didn’t misremember the fact that I freaking loved this book. I knew there was a reason for me to like Tempted by a Rogue Prince so much (book #3 in this series). It’s all because of the incredibly honest princes here. Wow.

  • Do you leave 1 Star Reviews?

    Do you leave 1 Star Reviews?

    Hello, dearies! ⭐

    I was wondering about this one for some time, and have mentioned some of it before, so today I decided to go ahead and ramble for a bit about it.

    Why do people leave 1-Star reviews? Don’t they know that one’s opinions is completely then somebody else’s?

    Welcome to a new Spoiler Time Sunday, I had been trying to keep up with this one every week and I hope you are enjoying the little snippets of spoilers from different media, books, manga, movies. Mostly books, yes.

    For today, I remembered one from Card Captor Sakura, the Manga, and the anime as well but I’ll focus on the Manga for the sake of accuracy.

  • What type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    What type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    Spoiler alert, it’s not just the fantasy one… not always.

    Hello, dearies! 😎

    I was considering the stars system and the books, and I have always said that if I could give more stars to a book I would, which technically I can if I want but not on Goodreads of course. In life.

    Anyway, as my latest read was a 5 star because that’s how much I liked it. I thought of this question, what type of books do you give 5 stars to?

    Spoiler Time Sunday: Cinder – Odd Queries

    Hello, dearies! 👠

    It’s Sunday! But I nearly forgot about today’s spoiler time, so for this Sunday I decided to go with Cinder, which is book 1 in The Lunar Chronicles saga (series).

    Most of you might know or if you read the description of the book that this is a fairytale retelling of Cinderella. Yes, and there’s no spoiler in that, for context here is the description of Cinder.
