  • Beautiful Oblivion: Book Review (Finally Read it!)

    Beautiful Oblivion: Book Review (Finally Read it!)

    Oblivion indeed. 😮

    Hello, dearies! 📚

    OMFJC on a cracker. 🍂

    This woman got me, I didn’t see that coming. I had no clue. I still don’t understand what the big secret is about.

    Other than the fact that TJ knew that Trenton was in love with Camille his whole life and he still went and asked her out, crappy move there, but I suppose since they were not together it was fair.

    But I did not know it was HIM.

    Okay, let’s do this review right.

  • 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! 💜

    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.

  • Friday Flashback: The Neverending Story

    Friday Flashback: The Neverending Story

    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

    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.

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

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

    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

    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

    The Dragon Prince: Mystery of Aaravos Season 6

    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.

    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

    My Happy Marriage #1 – Light Novel Review

    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.
