My reading year has been extensive and quite hectic. And it’s not over yet. Between amazing books and a huge reading slump, I’ve been conflicted about my feelings towards this pet project. On one hand, I want to see it through, but on the other, I’m questioning if it’s worth it. If it will change anything. Lately, I’ve been thinking about joining my read and unread…
Some people judge books by their covers. I judge them by their titles. With such a bold title that makes you question the mental state of the reader, How to Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie is exactly what you should expect. Not a step-by-step guide if that’s what you are wondering, but the tale of an unhinged woman in her quest for revenge against her…
I already wrote a post detailing my journey to explore crochet and everything I learned in just two months. However, there’s one thing I never did. Read a crochet book. I’ve been thinking about it, but until this month, I have never followed along or seen the inside of a crochet book. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher, Walter Foster Publishing, I finally got to see…
Whether TikTok book recommendations are good or not, one thing is for sure: they are everywhere. I don’t have TikTok, and even I know what books are blowing up there. While this is nowhere a testament to the quality of TikTok books, I appreciate it whenever I discover new books. The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is one of them. A mystery YA series full…
I was not planning on rewriting a review for We Were Liars by E Lockhart. I read this book five years ago, loved it, and obviously, I had to write a review and post it here on the blog. And now, as I finish reading that review, I have a question: what is that girl talking about? Memory is a funny thing. I could swear to…
I was never planning on writing this review. I wasn’t even planning on watching the TV adaptation. Yet out of boredom, I clicked on the first episode. And then I watched one more. And another. And another. I already read and reviewed One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus, and while it’s a book that failed my expectation, I liked it. I was looking for…
I adore the Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown. Ever since I read The Da Vinci Code, I’ve been making my way through the series. Although, I’ve been reading it in the most out-of-order you could ever imagine. And that’s the beauty of this series. It doesn’t matter where you begin. With the last, Origin, in the middle, The Lost Symbol, or with the very first,…
Have you ever rage quit a book? You know, getting so done with a book that you want to shut it as hard as you can or throw it away without minding if it gets damaged? Either way, I’ve read some books that I did not like, but most times, it’s always left with a meh feeling, so I just put them away to forget they…
Back in May, I decided one random day at 2 am to crochet flower pot coasters for Mother’s Day (celebrated on the first Sunday of May here in Portugal). I found it while casually browsing Pinterest and decided it was the right gift. I didn’t even know if I had any yarn I could use. But I was determined to make them myself. And this late-night…
The first time I read The Final Six by Alexandra Monir was back in 2020. I listened to the audiobook while working on a puzzle and really enjoyed it. Right after that, I listened to the sequel The Life Below, but I’m not going over it in this post. I enjoyed listening to this story so much that I had to buy a copy to have…
I have no words. You’re about to read a full review of This Mortal Coil by Emily Suvada, but I want to state that I’m at a loss for words, even though I’m about to write a bunch of them. This is the biggest takeaway from this review. After I closed the book, I was speechless about what I’d read. And here is why. Title: This…

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.
