  • Card Captor Sakura: Original

    Card Captor Sakura: Original

    Alternative names: カードキャプターさくら

    Genre: Shōjo

    Year: 1996 – 2000

    Author: CLAMP

    Who does not know about Sakura Kinomoto, right? In some capacity, you know her or have seen her at one point or another in your life. I’d like to clarify, this is about the manga but the anime is of course what made us start loving everything about this world.

    Junjo Romantica: Pure Romance

    Junjō Romanchika, lit. “Pure-Hearted Romantica”

    Author: Shungiku Nakamura

    Genres: Romance, Comedy, Yaoi, Slice of Life

    Another one. I am sure you know this one. If you are a fan of Anime, Yaoi or Romance, or all of them together then you certainly have watched, heard about, read about or seen anything related to Junjo Romantica (Junjou Romantica in Spanish). I’ll make it quick.

  • Namaikizakari [Mid-Read Review]

    Namaikizakari [Mid-Read Review]

    Author: Mitsubachi Miyuki

    Alternative title: Cheeky Brat

    Japanese: なまいきざかり。, lit. “Full Bloom Cheekiness” 

    Genres: School Life, Romance, Sports

    Hello, dearies! ❤️

    This one is late by a lot, though not so much considering that this is still ongoing. Alright, it is a Manga as you might have guessed by the name and it is still going, and it is completely amazing.

    I cannot be sure that any of you read Manga but if you do then you would love Namaikizakari, do not let the element of sports throw you off, it is actually pretty cool and it is not the only thing the story is about. I cannot really remember how I got to it but I know that after the first two chapters I was completely hooked and Naruse is so great.

  • Wuthering Heights

    Wuthering Heights

    Author: Emily Brontë

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Genres: Tragedy, Gothic fiction

    I read this one a long time ago, as in years ago! So I cannot really say that my memories of it are that specific though I will try to make it justice.

  • Fitzwillian Darcy, Gentleman

    Fitzwillian Darcy, Gentleman

    Author: Pamela Aidan
    Trilogy: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman

    Retelling? Yes. A Retelling of Pride and Prejudice

    Hello, dearies! 📚

    I hate doing this, but I have to because you must know what it is like to read it, to have expectations about a book or books and then be disappointed, because by the end of this trilogy I was very disappointed.

    Let us begin.

  • The Lunar Chronicles 2: Scarlet

    The Lunar Chronicles 2: Scarlet

    Book Series: The Lunar Chronicles 2

    Author: Marissa Meyer

    Genres: Young-Adult, Futuristic, Re-telling, Sci-fi

    Recommendation: 4.5 ⭐

    Page count: 454 pages, Hardcover

    I liked it, a lot, I think more than Cinder, however for letting us hanging at the beginning in such a way, we wanted more of Kai and Cinder, and instead were greeted by a stranger, for that and for not grasping my attention as I know it should have been grasped, because of it, 4.5 of 5.

    Now my thoughts on the whole thing, you will be surprised by how much I liked it.

  • Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy

    Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy

    Authors: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Ress Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Robin Wasserman

    Genre: Short Stories, Fantasy, Young Adult

    There are so many moments in this one, I will try to be organised and direct.

    If you have not read any of the books in the Shadow World, specially The Mortal Instruments, then I seriously recommend that you first read those and then this one, and if you do not know what this one is about or who is the main character, then please stop reading this, because it contains spoilers for those who are new to the Shadowhunters world. That said, welcome and I hope you share my thoughts on this one.

  • Outlander Series: (Voyager + Drums of Autumn)

    Outlander Series: (Voyager + Drums of Autumn)

    Author: Diana Gabaldon

    I should probably start off with Voyager, and I will try to look pass the things that I did not enjoy.

    I read it fast and not just because it was the first book of the Outlander series which was completely new to me since Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber I already knew what would happen because of the TV Show, no, this one I read really fast because of the parts where Claire was on her own, those blurred.

    Spoilers ahead if you have not read these 2 books, kindly stop if you have not read.

  • Lord of Shadows Review

    Lord of Shadows Review

    I will first give you, the unedited review, this is what I felt and thought when I first finished the book. Be wary, it contains so many spoilers you will have to jump to the end of it, where I said it is good and nothing else, if you do not want to know what happens at the end of the book. You have been warned.

  • Seven Years to Sin (Review… sort of)

    Seven Years to Sin (Review… sort of)

    Author: Sylvia Day

    Well, if you are into romance and historical, and as a plus adult fiction than you most definitely will absolutely love what goes down with Lady Jessica and the rather rakish Mr. Alistair Caulfield

    Alright, let me be honest with this one… Sylvia Day has an excellent imagination and the few books I have read of her have been really great, she does has a lot of books under her name and reading them all in less than a month would be viable… if only the to-read list with many amazing authors and promising titles was not as long as it is.
