April is just around the corner, which means the Magical Readathon is about to start. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the Magical Readathon is run by G from the YouTube channel BookRoast during the entire month of April. The marathon is themed around the O.W.L.s (Ordinary Wizarding Level) and N.E.W.T.s (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests) held at Hogwarts. There is a Wizarding Career Guide…

Two months into the new year and my reading mood are as good as ever. At this point, I’m just waiting for a reading slump to hit me hard. Meanwhile, I’m taking advantage of it as much as I can! February had one more reading day this year, and even though it still has fewer days than January, I read six books one more than the…

About a year ago, I was testing out different apps to help me learn Japanese. And now, I’m coming back with two other resources that I’ve been using and enjoying a lot. Before I explore into each one individually, I want to start by talking about the SRS. No, it has nothing to do with your car’s airbags or software development, SRS stands for Spaced Repetition…
Today is Valentine’s Day, and instead of doing something corny and super romantic, I decided to review two questionable romance books. I’m talking about Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James and After by Anna Todd. Truth is I had no idea what to post, and I’ve been meaning to write reviews for both of these books, and Valentine’s Day is as good as any other…
I can’t take it anymore. I need to talk about Hello Neighbor, and I need to talk about the prequel to the game, Missing Pieces by Carly Anne West. I read this book a month ago, and I became obsessed. I loved everything about this book, so excuse me if I’m going to fangirl hard from now on. About the game: To give you a little…
Finally, January is over! I don’t know about you, but it felt it took forever to end. And the proof of that is the amount of book I managed to read. Last month, I read five books total and each one of them was amazing! I had a great start on my reading year, and I’m going to tell you all about it because it’s time…
Science-fiction has been growing over the years, gathering more viewers and getting more and more ambitious as technology evolves. Slowly, I’ve been diving into the movies from “the good old days” when my mother was old enough to watch them, and I probably wasn’t born yet. When Independence Day came out on theatres, I was one-year-old, a tiny little person that couldn’t even speak, let alone…
There is nothing better than starting the new year reading a good book. And today is time for me to share my thoughts on that book, You Beneath Your Skin by Damyanti Biswas.

I’ve missed this little corner. I’ve missed writing some nonsense just because I’m in the mood. And I’ve missed talking about books! Happy New Year everyone!! So this is the new 20s, ahn? Well, I have some plans and goals to achieve one of them being to read more and to create a habit out of it. Another goal is to try and blog consistently. In…
I'm Joana, the girl behind Miss Known. You can find me sipping a hot cup of tea while unravelling mysteries, playing games, baking goodies, crafting loads, and report it back in posts.
