    Friday Flashback: Stardust

    Hello, dearies!

    Have you ever liked a movie so much that you think the book cannot be possibly be bad?
    Yeah, that’s me with Stardust, the movie.

    This is perhaps one of my top 10 most watched movies of all time, I know it, I recognise the themes, the music, I can quote it. When I read the book? It was a whole different experience, and not in the fangirling, awesome way.

  • Classroom of the Elite Season 3… and 4 Teaser

    Classroom of the Elite Season 3… and 4 Teaser

    Welcome, dearies!

    I’m back with a new one on anime and light novels.

    But you are here for some rants I am sure… and since it’s been a while since I talked about this type of things, I had to pick one of the latest I watch. First, have you watched Classroom of the Elite? Season 1 and 2 were impactful for me.

    But it was a long time ago, so I had to re watch the whole series before going into Season 3… it was worth it 😄

    So, what did I think about it? Do I sound less excited than my previous mini rambling about CotE? Maybe.

    It took me a bit to watch the final episode. But it’s on me for assuming what would happen and I shouldn’t have.

    Now, prepare for spoilers if you haven’t watched the anime or read the light novel.

  • Avenged by an Angel [Eternal Mates #16] Book Review

    Avenged by an Angel [Eternal Mates #16] Book Review

    So much hope… I had so many hopes for it. 😶‍🌫️

    Title: Avenged by an Angel

    Book Series: Eternal Mates

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Angels (duh). Paranormal. Fantasy. Romance. Fates ones. Demons. Dragons.

    Rating: 4 out of 5.

    Page count: 306 or so pages

    Hello, dearies! 🪽

    At this point, you might have noticed that I like these books 😆 I cannot seem to stop myself from buying them. Since I picked up the Eternal Mates series again, I have not been able to stop until I get to the bottom of it all. Although, the last one I read seemed to take a small turn, a wee one from what I had read on this one and book #17. Alright I’m getting ahead of myself because I read 3 of these in a row.

    I shall focus on Avenged by an Angel, which I had wanted to read since book 7? The one on Taken by a Dragon, I think; like honestly, I knew this one was coming at some point and when I began reading, it all seemed to point in the right direction, and then? To be honest, I stopped reading for a bit, it was kind of predictable, but I still read it and liked it, but was not as: whoa! As I had expected.

  • Sunrise on the Reaping: Book Review [The Hunger Games 0.5]

    Sunrise on the Reaping: Book Review [The Hunger Games 0.5]

    Hello, dearies! 📚

    It’s been a while since I read a book so fast, and fresh out of the oven. But here we are.

    It was easy reading Sunrise on the Reaping, and going back to the Capitol, Panem, District 12, even when it was not shown all that much, and discovering how they wanted everything to fit and explain The Hunger Games and the plots that unraveled there.

    That’s pretty much it. The end. 😅 Just kidding, sort of.

    Let me show you what this book was like, considering that we wanted to know what happened to Haymitch Abernathy, and we sure did. 🫠

    And yes, there will be spoilers all over this post, like I will assume you want to know or you have finished reading the book, too.

  • Mystery of Aaravos Season 7 [The Dragon Prince]

    Mystery of Aaravos Season 7 [The Dragon Prince]

    Finally finished watching the whole season! 🐉

    Where do I even start? Honestly, it didn’t feel like an ending of a show or series, or this part. It felt like a season finale.

    But will there be a new Dragon Prince? Or just a new show within the same universe?

    Well, it is more along the lines of: Aaravos saga or arc ended here on season 7, book: Dark.

  • Only 2 Episodes to go of EachPage Flow Season 2

    Only 2 Episodes to go of EachPage Flow Season 2

    Hello, everyone! 🎧

    Have you been keeping up with the k… the podcast, sorry, bad joke.

    Have you been listening and following the podcast? Season 2 is almost done, only 2 episodes to go, and of course I left two of my favourite of the last couple of years for last, and they were both stories that I had not known about until they crossed my path.

    But Episode 16, dedicated to NANA is now available, and you can listen to it on YouTube and also watch a few cool scenes from the anime.

  • A Beautiful Funeral: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #5)

    A Beautiful Funeral: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #5)

    I already had a feeling because it had been hinted at in the previous books, but I still was sad when it did happen.

    Hello, everyone! Welcome to the end of the binge-read! ⭐

    I finished reading all books in The Maddox Brothers series, though, it is not the end. This is only the so-far books that are published because it looks like a new one will be published about Trenton, is it confirmed? I don’t know, but it is in on Goodreads, so it might be.

    I also skipped over Something Beautiful and went directly to the last one: A Beautiful Funeral because I had to.

    Basically, book 4 Beautiful Burn and this one are a mix in my head, but they are very distinctly different, never fear about that.

    What I cannot get over is the fact of how much of a giant Travis is, I really need to re-read Beautiful Disaster because I remember the essence of it, but a lot of little details are missing from my memories. I read it a long time ago.

    Anyway, I am remembering all of the books because A Beautiful Funeral, it is basically all the books in one without repetition. I mean that all brothers are in here, and their girls. So be prepared for that.

    Hello, dearies! 🍿

    Last year is not far away 🤭 but it seems like the year was quite extensive when I look back on what I watched.

    Some of my favourites are here, and some not so favourite.

    It is quite a list so I’ll name them next.
