  • Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

    Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

    Hello, dearies! 🧵

    Did you know that there is a Jane Austen Challenge going on by canterburyclassics? (This is not promoted).

    There is! And I decided to go into it, starting with Jane Austen in January, true be told I didn’t finish it in Jan, but I’ll plan on continuing until the end throughout February since the challenge is month by month through 2025, and I am not really planning on doing needlework, this time. 😆

    As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! ⁠That’s how they decided that this should be the perfect way to celebrate.

    These are the expected month-by-month challenges:

    books 2025


    You can still join, of course. What do you think? If I find other book challenges like so, I’ll definitely consider them, it looked like so much, and perhaps I’ll finally read all of Jane Austen’s books, because Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey sit on my shelf since forever. 😸

    That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. 😊

    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? 😆

    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! 🍂

    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.

    2014 Reads

    Wow! 2014, ten years ago? You’re joking…

    It’s still 2021 for me. 😆

    What books were out in 2014? I can’t even remember, I was probably reading a Shadowhunters book, I think I started around that time.

    This one acts as a Flashback Friday too since we’re remembering all of these books. 😊

    Also, fun fact, 2014 was the Year of The Horse. 🐎

    And, of course, don’t forget to check out 2009 Reads and 2011 Reads.

    15 Autumn Books to Keep Us Cosy

    Hello, dearies! 🎪

    Following the trend of it’s autumn! 🍂 Have I mentioned before that I love autumn, fall if you must, I call it both.

    So, there are some books (okay, a lot) that I discovered that could be read during this time, or any time, but that I thought would go well with the fall season, I said cosy but is more related to the season 🎃 or the months than actually heart-warming or any other warmth you can think of. Rambling.

    Okay, I’ll start now with the 15 books to keep us cosy this autumn.

  • 10 YA Fantasy Books to Get Started

    10 YA Fantasy Books to Get Started

    Hello, dearies! 😎

    I thought to make a quick (debatable) post on some good YA Fantasy books to get you started on this genre, or if you know all of them already, then you can just be reminded of some of these cool books.

    Please, be advised that this is my very biased opinion, and we all know that not all of us like the same books or authors and that’s okay. We all have different tastes. ☀️

    That said, here are the ten books that I would recommend to get started in the YA Fantasy world, and don’t be frightened to explore a new book. All or some books might be ten years old but it does not mean they’re not just as good as any other book.

    Alright, alright, I’m starting now.
