Over the past few years, there has been a boom in the gaming industry. They come out like mushrooms popping from the ground. There hasn’t been a time with so many games as we have now. They are everywhere and are more diverse than ever. I’m sure there’s a game for everyone, even for those who don’t play video games. Although there always has to be…
It has been a hot minute since Dan Brown released a book in the Robert Langdon series. The most famous symbologist had many adventures and probably will have many more. It has been 9 years since I started on this journey. And it took me until last year to finally sit here and say I’ve read every book in the Robert Langdon series. Update: The next…
I wanted to read Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco since I first discovered Booktube. The OG place where books got their hype before TikTok was a thing. Something about it always appealed to me, but the more time passed, the less likely I was to pick it up. I was scared the book would feel too young or just too cliche. Fiction changes a…
My first Brandon Sanderson book. It has been a while since I wanted to read one of his books. He’s so loved by the reading community that I was curious to understand why. Although, he’s a fantasy author. And if you don’t know by now, fantasy is not my cup of tea. He has at least one sci-fi series, but I haven’t found the will to…
It finally happened. I finished my first prompt! Light the fireworks. Cut the cake. Let’s celebrate! I’m beyond excited for this accomplishment. Thank you all for your support. I couldn’t do it without you. Thank you to my mom and dad… Too soon to make an acceptance speech? The challenge isn’t over yet? Ups. Sorry, I got carried away. Still, it was a good month, and…
Mysteries are the cornerstone of autumn. The falling leaves, paired with falling dead bodies, fill the air with some creepy magic. To gruesome? I’m sorry. I’m still feeling the remnants of Halloween. The A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series isn’t weird or scary – at least from what I’ve seen so far. If you are new to this series, hi! Welcome! This is a review…
The first time I ever saw the name Harlan Coben was on Netflix. Little did I know how chefs kiss his stories can be. The Stranger was the first and most certainly not the last I saw. It’s mysterious and thrilling, and with each episode, you just want to watch more and more. Since it’s a mini-series, there’s a lot of time to develop the story…
June marks a new year. A new reading year. Another year of reading my TBR. But before I do anything else, I need to recount my books. I want to start with a clean sheet. I’m afraid I miscount some books. Here’s the thing, I never wrote down a list of all the books. So, I’m not sure which books I counted for the TBR and…
Every time I have to write an update for the Hardest Reading Challenge You’ve Ever Done, I get so excited. I would lie if I said it was so easy and that I’m not starting to question my life choices… BUT! I’m enjoying to see the progress. The books of September After the flop of A Study in Charlotte last month, I was missing a 4+…
Does the name Albert Kiefer mean anything to you? And how about Housesketcher on Instagram? If you walk around the artsy and sketching side of the internet, you have probably crossed paths with some of his works. The first time I heard about Kiefer was browsing the Domestika website. When I saw Housesketching, something felt familiar. And so I jumped at the opportunity to see what…
I want to keep these updates monthly and neat… And I’m doing a terrible job! I swear I’m not taking this long to read the books. Once again, I bring you another late update for the Hardest Reading Challenge You’ve Ever Done. Please don’t be confused. I know we are at the end of September, but this post is about the books I read in August.…
Family secrets, grief, and an icon, The Essential Elizabeth Stone by Jennifer Banash, tells the tale of a woman who created an empire around herself. And even in death, she can crumble down her daughter’s life. With the release date of the 10th of September, just in time for a gloomy rainy day.
