Happy Weekend, dearies! I hope you’re enjoying a great one.
Today I finished The Promise of Rain, and said, wow, the difference between reading an enjoyable book and when I don’t. Why? Because I read this one so fast, I couldn’t get enough of it, I had to finish it and know all their secrets. Unlike when I read The King’s Obsession, which I started last year and finished not long ago.

Happy Weekend, dearies!
I hope I will make this clear and not ramble on too much. My feelings about Anne Boleyn: A King’s Obsession are mixed, and I mean that for real. I had the highest of hopes for this book, and it did not turn out as I expected it to be.
Let’s begin. 📜
Spoilers ahead if you don’t know the story behind Anne Boleyn or The Tudor Family.

This one is not going to be easy.
Hello, dearies! I barely remember the details but the general idea instead since it was such a long time ago that I read Interview with the Vampire, what I do remember is thinking how darkly different it was from the movie.
Of course, I had watched the movie before reading the book, but when I read this book, it was a real eye-opener for my young mind.

Author: Sophie Kinsella
⭐⭐⭐
Genre: Women’s Fiction, Chick Lit, Humor, Romance
That was not what I was expecting one bit. This is what happens when you read a book after you have watched the movie so many times that you almost now the dialogues of it.
But this does not mean I didn’t enjoy Confessions of a Shopaholic. I quite liked this book if not loved it. It made me laugh and seeing how Rebecca Bloomwood made excuses after excuses to buy anything was unbelievable. I suppose that is really how a shopaholic would be.
Some spoilers might be ahead, be wary.

Saga: Harry Potter
Book: The Philosopher’s Stone
Author: JK Rowling
Oh, wow. I know this is weird perhaps, but I wanted to dedicate a little more to each of these books, although I already have the Wizarding World page where I say just how great everything is. I decided now, to go book by book, quickly and point out once more that they’re great, though it might surprise us Potterheads that there are still people out there who have not read HP ever in their lives, so this is for you too.

Genre: Romantic-fantasy
I cannot say how this one is going to turn out but I’ll try my best to not give out much of the story, so mild-spoilers ahead.

Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Kelly Link
This one is also super short, but it was a really good story too.
I don’t think there was one that I didn’t like in this compilation.
Book: Ghosts of the Shadow Market
Series: Shadowhunters. Shadow World
Authors: Cassandra Clare & Sarah Rees Brennan
Is going to be short, but I wanted to relay just how amazingly good it was, that even after reading all the Shadow World books there is still room for the little stories, and we will still love them all as if they were part of a series.

If you are here, I am going to assume that you know about Sekaiichi and Junjou Romantica because I know that not everyone watches these animes or reads the Manga. Today is about the Manga, and a little bit about the Anime, a bit of a comparison might be seen further ahead.

Series: Origin
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Genre: Holy Alien Babies. Fiction. Drama. Supernatural.
Alright so, I tried to stop and give you a briefing as I was reading this one like I did with The Darkest Star, but I started in Ch 19. You’ll just have to believe that before that moment, everything was good and I couldn’t stop reading; afterward, I forced myself to stop and put down the book (The Burning Shadow obviously) to write random (not so random) notes.
