I had this wood box laid around for years lost in the attic. I tried to make something out of it a few times but never succeeded. A few weeks back, I found the box once again and decided that this was the time to turn it into something beautiful. My original plan was to use plastic straws to give a new purpose to them while…
We are finally in August!! Thankfully July is over. It was one of the worst months this year. I fell ill and I haven’t fully recovered yet, I had some personal stuff to deal with, and work was so stressful. So it feels nice to start a new month like turning to a blank page. I also have been quiet around here because I didn’t want…
Author: Jason Segel / Kirsten Miller Publisher: Delacorte Press Pages: 355 Genre: YA Sci-fi Publication: 31st October 2017 If you already don’t know, I LOVE Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. That book was written for an American-80s-baby version of me, just because I didn’t know most of the pop culture references. Otherwise, I’m a sucker for it!! And being a gamer, a geek at heart,…
Another month is over, and my reading slump is still here. I’m trying not to think much about it and just work with it. Reading when I fell like it, don’t when I’m not in the mood, and once again I can’t resist to readathons even though the last ones I’ve failed miserably. If you don’t already know The Booktube-A-Thon, now known as The Reading Rush,…

May it’s finally over and that means it’s time to talk about all the books I read and bought this month. I purposefully skipped April’s wrap-up because I wasn’t in the mood to write about books. I usually can’t shut up about them, but lately, things have changed. I’m in the worst reading slump, and it’s getting quite hard to get out. Please send help! On…
Once upon a time, there was a sad little mouse. He didn’t have a house. He would sleep in the cold, with no one else there to hold, alone in the dark, every day being chased. It was a hard time he faced. Until a friendly witch cast a spell, working really hard to craft it well, and out of paper and clay, she built a…
I really enjoy writing these reviews. They are quick, strictly to the point, and they challenge me to sum up my thoughts on each of the books. If you haven’t seen the first post I did, you should definitely read that, but basically, this idea came from the necessity of reviewing books that I don’t have much to talk about. This doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy…
There has been a trend that took the book community by storm: sprayed edges. This isn’t something new that we never saw before, there are a few books editions that have sprayed edges, but suddenly every book worm out there are adventuring themselves into arts and crafts to make their books unique. Since I love books and I love crafts, I couldn’t miss this opportunity. So…
Once again I’m diving into the TV series that unfortunately have been cancelled. This time, it’s all about the comedies! And who doesn’t like a good laugh?! A lot of people do, reason why most of the series I’m going to mention have more than 3 seasons. I divided the post into two sections because some of these series were cancelled before the final season, which…
Today is my turn and the final stop on the Blog Tour for The Dark Game by Jonathan Janz. My many thanks to Anne Cater and Flame Tree Press for allowing me to be a part on this tour.

My passion for Japan and their culture has been growing bigger and bigger over the years. Probably was the countless hours I’ve spent watching anime or the taste of my BFF for Japanese music. Either way, I’ve fallen in love with this intriguing, different, and “strange” culture. One of the reasons I wanted to learn Japanese was because of a manga: Ao Haru Ride (Blue Spring…
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.
