Friday Flashback: The Neverending Story

“People who have no hopes are easy to control; and whoever has the control has the power.”

Woah! I went back a lot with this one. 📺

I rewatched this movie (The NeverEnding Story) countless time when I was a kid, could be one of the first fantasy ones that got to me.

It has everything…

But did you know that this is a book adaptation? Yes! It is for a 1979 novel, called The Neverending Story by Michael Ende, and it is German. 📖

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

‘A powerful warrior and commander of the dark elf legions, Bleu is a loyal and devoted male, and one who has never failed in anything—except one thing. Love…’

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.

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

That book was not what I was expecting… sadly.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Welcome, dearies! 📖

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.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder: Show’s First Impressions

Adaptation: Yes

Where? Netflix

Available? Yes

Main Cast: Emma Myers as Pippa. Zain Iqbal as Ravi.
Rahul Pattni as Sal. Mathew Baynton as Elliot. India Lillie Davies as Andie. Carla Woodcock as Becca. Asha Banks as Cara Ward.

Original Book: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson

Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🔎

Have you watched A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder on Netflix? I have, it’s only 6 episodes so it passes by really quickly, just think of it as a 6 hours movie that resembles the book a lot, and it is for fans because I don’t think that those that are not fans would enjoy it quite as much.

The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos Season 6

‘We are, all of us, stardust… held together by love, for an instant.’

Hello, dearies! ⭐

Is out! You can watch it now! ⏯️

It’s awesome!!! 🐲

I didn’t think they could keep improving or remain the same level of cool in the story… but I was wrong. The Dragon Prince Season 6 is just as binge-worthy as the rest of it. In fact you could and should watch it all from the start and not get tired of it.

But today is about The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos Season 6, book 6: Stars. That is one long name, so if I say TDP or Mystery of Aaravos, you will know what I’m referring to.

Now, some spoilers without context, or some comments that could be spoilers. All of which came from when I was watching each episode.

Too many emotions.

Hello, dearies! Welcome to this full review of Namaikizakari.

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

I can’t remember when I first started reading it but I do remember that after that first chapter I had to continue.

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.

Friday Flashback: Kuroko no Basuke – Anime

Have you watched Kuroko’s Basket or Kuroko No Basuke? I have and I would recommend to watch a second time, so today’s Friday Flashback will be dedicated to this Sports Anime.

Title: Kuroko’s Basketball (黒子のバスケ, Hepburn: Kuroko no Basuke)

Genre: Sports, Shonen, Young Adult

Manga by: Tadatoshi Fujimaki

Anime by: Shunsuke Tada

Basketball Team: Seirin High (誠凛高校, Seirin Kōkō)

Hello, dearies! ⛹️ I realised recently that I don’t have one for Kuroko no Basuke, which is odd since I really liked this one.

Have you ever heard of or watched this anime? I hadn’t until Crunchyroll and Netflix put it in my face as recommendation because I had watched… I have no idea what. Honestly, I don’t why the algorithm thought it would be good for me to watch, perhaps because I watched Dragon Ball? That could be it.

Anyway, I watched and liked it a lot. It’s fun, more so if you like High School, School Life, and Basketball. And Seinen then you definitely can watch this one.

Hello, dearies! 🌹

I recently finished Tempted by a Rogue Prince (Eternal Mates #3) by Felicity Heaton, I read this one fast and through the night, not because I didn’t like it, oh no, no. By the time I realised it I was so engrossed by this story that I was actually surprised. It’s been some time since that happened to me.
