Hello, everyone! π¬
I was going to do this and discuss whether Horimiya was an acquired taste or not, but looking further into that expression and what actually means, it might have been an innate taste for me.
So, an acquired taste is when you get accustomed to something after going over and over to it, right? And that might be the case for some.

Hello, dearies! π
It’s been a while since I read a book so fast, and fresh out of the oven. But here we are.
It was easy reading Sunrise on the Reaping, and going back to the Capitol, Panem, District 12, even when it was not shown all that much, and discovering how they wanted everything to fit and explain The Hunger Games and the plots that unraveled there.
That’s pretty much it. The end. π Just kidding, sort of.
Let me show you what this book was like, considering that we wanted to know what happened to Haymitch Abernathy, and we sure did. π«
And yes, there will be spoilers all over this post, like I will assume you want to know or you have finished reading the book, too.
Wow, that took me back, just thinking about it for a second.
Hello, dearies! π©·
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! π
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. π

Male Characters that is… π
Hello, dearies! π
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. π

Hello, dearies! π§΅
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. π
As Ms. Austen is to turn 250 this year! β 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. πΈ
That’s the latest from my end. I’ll update on my new view of Pride and Prejudice once I’m done. π
