9 Books that I can easily re-read every year… some times twice a year

“The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.”
From City of Bones

Hello, dearies! 📚

Welcome to another ranting on books that not everyone might know about, but I am very attached to and like a lot, and I don’t mind re-reading them over and over, even when I have a reading list (or TBR if you prefer) the size of a town.

So, what are some books that I wouldn’t get tired of reading? You might be surprised, because I certainly was when thinking back and trying to figure out, what would be that book that I want to re-read?

And so, here I am, sharing because I am kind like that. 😆

10 Book Characters from Romances to Go Back to

“I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have.”
Outlander – J.F

Male Characters that is… 😏

Hello, dearies! 🙃

Because of a post on one of my favourite book characters, I realised that I haven’t updated or done a book characters from romances in like ever, I have never done it.

So, here we are… I’ll try to keep it short… even when we know that it is not my forte. 😆

Canterbury Jane Austen Challenge

‘…have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?’

Hello, dearies! 🧵

Did you know that there is a Jane Austen Challenge going on by canterburyclassics? (This is not promoted).

There is! And I decided to go into it, starting with Jane Austen in January, true be told I didn’t finish it in Jan, but I’ll plan on continuing until the end throughout February since the challenge is month by month through 2025, and I am not really planning on doing needlework, this time. 😆

As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! ⁠That’s how they decided that this should be the perfect way to celebrate.

These are the expected month-by-month challenges:

You can still join, of course. What do you think? If I find other book challenges like so, I’ll definitely consider them, it looked like so much, and perhaps I’ll finally read all of Jane Austen’s books, because Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey sit on my shelf since forever. 😸

That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. 😊

A Beautiful Funeral: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #5)

“When love was real, so was forever.”

I already had a feeling because it had been hinted at in the previous books, but I still was sad when it did happen.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the end of the binge-read! ⭐

I finished reading all books in The Maddox Brothers series, though, it is not the end. This is only the so-far books that are published because it looks like a new one will be published about Trenton, is it confirmed? I don’t know, but it is in on Goodreads, so it might be.

I also skipped over Something Beautiful and went directly to the last one: A Beautiful Funeral because I had to.

Basically, book 4 Beautiful Burn and this one are a mix in my head, but they are very distinctly different, never fear about that.

What I cannot get over is the fact of how much of a giant Travis is, I really need to re-read Beautiful Disaster because I remember the essence of it, but a lot of little details are missing from my memories. I read it a long time ago.

Anyway, I am remembering all of the books because A Beautiful Funeral, it is basically all the books in one without repetition. I mean that all brothers are in here, and their girls. So be prepared for that.

Beautiful Burn: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #4)

“Love made people hate in a way they never would have before.”

Hello, dearies! 🧑‍🚒

Welcome to 2025’s first finished book, but that came from 2024 because I started reading in December.

Beautiful Burn is about the burn, nah, that’s a bad joke. It is about two people who like each other and would walk through fire for their love, in the end, and if there was a fire Tyler would burn for Ellie.

Now, a quick note. The only thing that I agreed with Ellie on this book was that Jim was a former detective and Abby was smart and so they would have to know that what the Maddox Brothers said they did for a living was a lie. 🚒

What did I read in 2024? It was a surprise!

“All I can do is try to ease your pain and replace the terrible memories with better ones.”

Welcome, dearies! 🐉🐍

The year is almost at an end, it might for some of you already, depending on where you are in the world. For me it is still Dec, 31st.

I was checking all the book reviews on the blog and was surprised by what I had picked up this year, mostly, “old” books but that were in my TBR since forever and I decided to read as many as I could.

Luckily, there was a dragon book in there, so the year of the Dragon was represented in my reading. For the year of the Snake (my year!) I shall see what books are out there that fit the criteria, there should be some interesting ones.

Alright, alright. I’ll begin.

Beautiful Redemption: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #2)

‘In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the last.’

I don’t know.

Don’t ask me what was missing but something was, probably in the last 10% of it. Maybe somewhere in how it ended.

Hello, dearies! 🚨

I finished the second book on The Maddox Brothers book series Beautiful Redemption, which is Thomas Maddox story. And no, that’s not spoilers because it is in the description of the book, unless you don’t all Maddox boys and how their stories would then get ready because everything on this review might be spoiler.

Beautiful Oblivion: Book Review (Finally Read it!)

“I’ve had a lifetime of wrong. You’re the only thing that’s right.”

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.

Book Challenge: The Timeline Book Quest

“The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.”

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.
