Reviews from the heart.
I’m totally fangirling right now, and I don’t care if I’m late to the party, or don’t know when this was first announced, it is still not out, and I have a lot of reading to re-do and to catch-on.
I saw a new novel in the Shadowhunter world is coming in 2026, and is the one that I was hoping for… 🎊 even if it is the last trilogy of the Shadowhunter books, and I’m sad about that, I still cannot wait!

Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.
Hello, dearies! 🩷
Did you know I am Shadowhunter fan? No? Really? You must know, surely.
Anywho… Clockwork Angel, another one from the Shadow World that I started reading, put down, picked it up again, thought about about what it was about, tried hard to get into what was happening in those first pages, and then when I got it a bit, I started reading full-steam ahead. It was like the world opened up and dropped me in London.
Too much?

Hello, dearies! 🍁
Here we are with a new challenge, at this point I should make a blog page solely for the book challenges, I have quite a few now. Should I?
Why not? 😆
Anyway, you can check out the new page of the blog with all book challenges listed on here: Book Challenges.
Created and inspired by this post.
Maybe I should I explain what this book challenge is about, I have rambled on enough. The Timeline Book Quest is about the books I have read and their years of publication or rather a list of years and checking if I read a book from that year. Let’s check it out.

Hello, dearies! ➰
It’s me Sela, I don’t normally introduce myself like that. 😳But sometimes, there’s someone new on the blog, so hello! 👋
Today’s special spoiler time Sunday, will be for City of Bones, which is book #1 in The Mortal Instruments series, I basically answered one of the outrageous questions I saw online. Is there a number 2 of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones? Yes, duh. It’s called City of Ashes. Would Cassie Clare had gone out of her way to write such great characters just to leave it at one book?

Hello, dearies! 🧭
Prepare for some fangirling of epic proportions.
And maybe a bit of rambling too.
The Lost Book of The White takes us forward in time or further (way further) than The Red Scrolls of Magic, which I recommend you first read City of Bones before diving into that one, although it is not necessary.
So, I loved book 2 of The Eldest Curses, does that come across? Sometimes I don’t know if it really does. But I did, and it took me a while to write this one because… life, so my memories are a bit far away.

Hello, dearies! Welcome! 🤗📚
I know you like these characters as much as I do, if you don’t then you should, for real, go read these books and fall for these characters, it’s worth it.
If you are just curious, be prepared for a rambling of almost epic proportions. This post will probably make no sense, and this is a warning to bail while you can.
Thank you for staying! 💖
At times, I feel the uncontrollable need to reach inside a book, pull the characters out and hug them, bare in mind I’ll keep to the male ones, just because that’s how it is.

Book: The Bane Chronicles – Book #6
Genres: Vampires, Fantasy, YA, Short Story
Hello, dearies! 🦇
I’m trying a new thing for Thursdays or Fridays, a sort of Throwback post or Flashback, and I thought this one would be perfect for it as The Bane Chronicles is a throwback indeed or a flashback if you must, at least for me.
As Today is Thursday, this is the first Throwback Thursday book review, thoughts.
Saving Raphael Santiago it’s not all that engraved in my mind, don’t ask me why because I cannot recall, but it was of the stories in The Bane Chronicles, so of course, I had to read it.
