Happy Halloween :D Hope you are all having a great day. <3 I don't do anything for Halloween, but I have a bunch of scary and cute decorations up for all of October, haha :) And tomorrow I will be decorating for Christmas, ahhh :D I am so very excited, eee. <3 I love my Christmas stuff the very most. Sigh. It makes me happy :) Though this week have been a goddamn pain. Started tidying my attic to get my Christmas stuff down, so I have less to do tomorrow. Did not realize how very much I had to do then all week long -.- It was exhausting and I am feeling dead. Not done yet, but making progress :) I finally started reading a book yesterday, and I read so much, and managed to finish it today. And a five star :D Eeee. Made me so happy. And today I had my final spa bath of the season, aw. And took it down for winter. Sigh. So rude. It will be forever to wait until April to get it up again. But also kind of happy to have it down now, so I now can start bathing in my bathtub again, haha. It is less stress, though much warmer, as outside at least I have air for my head. Ack. Anyway. I got my Labubu cats this week, eee :D Waiting on much more, oops. But first set arrived, and goddamn. They are the cutest things ever. I love them to death. Anyway. Written way too much now; started with my review, which ended up being so very long too. Oops. After I get all of Christmas ready, I will finally watch things again, ha :) This week I'm waiting on The Traitor Game. <3 And I shared my review of Reliquary :D Hope you are all doing well. <3 When do you decorate for Christmas?

The Sixth Faction. Whoops, another edition. This time the UK hardcover edition, haha :) Still gorgeous.
Victorious. Been forever and ever since I read Vicious; around when it came out. Will re-read one day :)

Review: Reliquary by Hannah F. Whitten

I had a hope that I would love this book, as I adore Hannah and her books, and this looked creepy. But I didn't know that I would love it as much as I did. And I am so very happy about it. I could not stop reading once I started it. It got too exciting and stressful and I just enjoyed it to pieces. Five stars for this incredible book.

I'm not sure where to begin, honestly. It is an adult story, with the main girl being twenty-seven years old. It's told from the point of view of Claire, whom I liked a whole lot. Though I do not usually like books set in our world, and this was set two years ago, I did not mind in this one. As this story takes place on a small island.

Which made it feel more fantasy at times, less real world. Plus the sea monster, of course. Which was honestly very awesome. But first, this book is all about Claire. Her boyfriend of five years just died suddenly. And it is destroying her a little. I did not like all the drinking she did for a few days, but also didn't blame her either. During the first days after his death, we get to know their relationship a bit. And I honestly did not really like Elias much at all. Hmph. And I was kind of happy that he was dead. Oops. Sure, Claire was happy with him. But it was not a great relationship at all. She just wanted to belong, to have a family, after she lost hers at thirteen. Then she gets an invitation from his mother, to come to their private family island, to get to know them.

Elias had no contact with his family. But Claire wants to belong so badly and so she is all kinds of excited to get to know this family she has not yet met. Which is where this book truly begins, once Claire arrives at the island. I'm honestly not sure how to describe this book. I do not want to share too much about it. It is also only three hundred pages long, and I felt like reading it went by so fast. Probably because I was so invested in the story and so very stressed about it all, ha. Which I enjoyed very much. It made me happy.

But it was all kinds of disgusting at times. And scary and creepy and gruesome. Yet I loved every moment of it. It was not completely perfect, but it was just perfect enough. And I truly loved this story. Things start feeling weird the moment Claire arrives at the home of the family of her dead boyfriend. Well, it felt weird to me. Claire was mostly just happy to be there. His mother, Audrey, was so kind and sweet towards her. The others as well. It was such a huge house on the island, going down and down deep under the ocean.

Which was all kinds of creepy. And Claire did not like it very much either, as she had big trauma from her childhood. I very much loved getting to know more about what happened to her when she was thirteen. It took a while before we got to know everything, but it was such a sad yet great story. The family was not very big, they were just six adults, and then the brother of Elias, Ash. And he did not want her to be there at all. They very much seemed to hate each other at first. Yet had some fun angry banter between them.

This book only takes place during four days, somewhat. Which went by so very quickly. There is so much that I want to share. But going to just write a tiny bit about the plot, so this review of mine will not be that long. Spoiler: it got long. It is a story about Claire spending time with the family, getting to know them all. Getting to know this creepy looking house they live in. And slowly realizing that something is very wrong at this place. That there is a reason for why Ash is trying to make her leave, even when she wants to stay.

I just want to share all the spoilers, haha. But not going to. But oh, this book was exciting and scary and I loved it so much. This family is not normal. They are so very rich and it did not come for free. And Claire is not there for a regular visit. I loved getting to know the monster in this story. It was creepy. It was scary. And so very amazing to read about. I felt like this book reminded me a lot about the movie, Ready or Not. It's one of my most favorite ones. And the reminders were all good. This story was honestly just exciting.

I'm not sure what else to share about Reliquary. It was such an incredible story. A story about a monster. A story about a woman learning to care about herself again. I loved how Claire changed, how she started to see herself differently. While also trying her hardest to survive. There were some scenes in this book that were disgusting and awful. And I loved it so, ha. A true horror story. There was no romance, though, which was a bit depressing. Yet I shipped Claire and Ash the most. They would have been perfect. Sigh.

One thing I wish had been different was the ending. Even though it was all kinds of incredible and I loved it so, so very much. It was epic. I just wanted a few more chapters, ha. I wanted to know more. I wanted a little bit more at the end. Felt like it ended a bit too soon. How rude. Yet it was such a great ending. Sigh. This horror story left me feeling happy, even though it was pretty gruesome. I must confess that I peeked a bunch before starting this. But that just made me love it even more. And it still surprised me all the time.

I'm honestly so glad that I read this book. It made me so happy. Even though it made me so very stressed most of the time. I so enjoyed reading about Claire. I loved getting to know her better and to get to know Ash as well. I adored him so. I liked Theo as well, somewhat. The others I didn't like very much at all. The ending was truly amazing and thrilling to read. This book was very much for me. The ocean scenes were scary. I loved it. Do read this book too. And I so wish Hannah will write more like it. Also a sequel, please.

Meh. Unsure what to say about this week, haha :) I have not managed to start reading yet. Aw. But will have to read this book before the end of the month, so must start it in the next few days. Fingers crossed I can manage that. Just feel like I have no time and no extra energy. Ack. But trying my best. Had some great times out this week with my family, eat lots of delicious food. <3 Also had too much stomach pain. Ouch. Tried to be without my pain pill that I have taken since August, as I did not like all of the dreams it gives me. Hmph. But got the most intense pain in my shoulder again some days without. So I have now started it again, and pain is better, and I'm sleeping so much better too. Definitely works as a sleeping pill for me. Though the intense dreams are back again. How rude. I got less mail this week, still spent more money than any other week. Ha. So many Pokemon cards. But gods, it's giving me so much joy. <3 Love the feeling of excitement it gives me :) Hope I can buy more soon. Though my money is saying no. Ha :) Still have my spa bath up, eee. But it needs to be taken down next week for winter. Aw. We just have not gotten it cold yet, which is the best. But it will get here in early November. Brrr. Though it has been cold wind for the past days. So bathing less than I should. Rude. So very excited to decorate for Christmas right after Halloween, eee. This week I'm waiting on Heiress of Storms :) Hope you are all doing well. <3

HEIRESS OF STORMS (Riders of Earth and Sky Trilogy #2) 
BY NORA CARMODY 

Goodreads Description:

At the risk of losing the bond with her beloved horse, a princess must save her people—and the man she loves—from an ancient evil threatening to consume her home.

Zara had one shot to defeat her enemy before it regained its full power. She missed. Now the ancient Devourer is no longer content to lurk in the shadows, relentlessly hunting magic and warping the wind that she once trusted. Meanwhile, Zara is haunted by visions of the man she loves, imprisoned and tortured beyond her reach. Every instinct urges her to fly back and save him—but doing so may doom them both.

Determined to save Talon and stop the Devourer before it targets her people, Zara searches for answers. But the answers involve secrets her mother has kept hidden for years. With only her beloved bonded horse and her newly bonded eagle by her side, Zara seeks out the one alliance powerful enough to stand against what’s coming . . . even as trust in her family and her magic frays.

Unwilling to let Zara risk herself for him, Talon escapes captivity into an empire already falling to the Devourer’s corruption. Hunted by undead Eagle Riders, he races to find Zara, desperate to help secure the alliance that could save both their peoples.

But to stop this monstrous being, Zara will be forced to sacrifice more than she can imagine—and loving Talon may be her most dangerous choice of all.

SILVER DAWN (The New Alchemists #2) BY MARIE LU

Goodreads Description:

Return to a world where The Godfather meets The Magicians, alchemists reign, and ambition will be your undoing in the highly anticipated sequel to Marie Lu’s bestselling adult debut, Red City.

DELUXE EDITION―a stunning hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges.

A new era of alchemy is about to dawn…

The empire of Grand Central, built on its foundation of sand, has crumbled. But in Europe, Belle Epoque believes it has the key to a bright new golden age. A new formula for the philosopher’s stone, so strong it stretches the limits of the impossible. They plan to unveil the drug at a global Exhibition, where they will unleash wonders the world has never seen―and rain destruction upon their enemies. It’s a plan that’s missing only one thing: the Ghost who brought down Grand Central.

Set adrift by her own victory, Sam takes Belle Epoque’s offer, but all she wants is to turn their plans against them. Set free of the syndicates for the first time in years, Ari follows her back into their grasp. All he has ever wanted is for those he loves to be safe.

But forces greater than them both are on the move, bringing new enemies–and old–into their orbit. Sam and Ari have never had the luxury of being on the same side. Now, it might be too late to reclaim the innocence of the children they once were, but perhaps they can still find their way back to each other… unless this deadly new age forces them to pay for their ambitions with their lives.

What are you waiting for on this deadly Wednesday?

Fifteen Years of Blogging

My blog is 15 years old today :D Ahh! Time have moved so fast. Does not feel like it has been that many years since I started reading. I'm still not reading as much as I want to, I am just not well enough yet. But I still read every month, and I'm trying my best. I still love reading the very most. As when I finally manage to start a book, I absolutely love the feeling it gives me. Just waiting to be able to feel well enough to read much more often. I still buy way too many books and pop figures and pop mart items. Oops. My Labubu collection is the biggest and I am loving it the very most. Makes me so very happy, eee. About the photos shared at the end. Still take photos of the northern lights at all times. Love it. My cat is now thirteen years old and she is the most precious. Adore my sister's dog. Mokoko is just the most beautiful Labubu. Just. Oh. Buying these plushes have been a big part of my year. Then my most treasured books for years. So happy to own these. Then another photo of my girl. For the next year, I hope to finally read lots more :)   

This past year has been both amazing and also not the greatest. Still no vacation for me, though we went on a one-day road trip in August, which was so lovely. Hope to manage to do the same next year. Hoping to win some money, so I can go on a longer and sunnier vacation. Fingers crossed. This year I managed to get my most wanted book from two publishers in different countries. And that meant the entire world to me. Feeling so thankful and so very happy. And at the same time, I have been so very sad this year. I got kicked off the funko nordic ambassador team, which I had been a part of for six years. And it truly hurt my heart. I'm still a bit broken about it. But trying to let it go. I still have things that make me happy. But yeah, being a part of that group meant so much to me. Sigh. I'm still reading, but way too little. I am still playing pokemon go daily on my three users, while also going on daily walks. I still play my animal crossing new horizons every day too, and now pokemon pokopia as well. Love it so very much. My games are the best.

When it comes to my health, it has not been going very well at all. I walked daily on my treadmill for 410 days. Then I decided to stop and sell it. And I am so glad I did so. As I did not go down anything in weight and it did not make me feel better either. Been weeks without it now, and I'm still feeling the same. Tested out several new medicines this year, and they did not work well at all. Now trying another new one, and it has been going so badly. But I'm hopeful that it will work better soon. Crossing my fingers. Been way too exhausted and hurting this past year. Very rude. Had psoriasis cuts all the time. Shudders. That is better with the new medicine, though. I have been having a bunch of spa baths outside this year, and it is still the very best. Did not have summer, though, which was the worst. Barely any warm days. Way too few sunny days. And now it is already snowing. Brrr. Not ready for winter at all. Hmph. I'm still taking outdoor photos for instagram and posting daily. Still blogging. Will not be quitting. Thank you for following me. <3

Brrr. We had the first snow of the winter this week. How rude. And it's so cold. Ahh. I hope it will get a little warmer again, though, as I do not want to have to take down my spa bath this coming week. Aw. Hope I can have it up a little longer. Fingers crossed. This week have been pain, though. Have not had enough energy to read anything new yet; but will start a book in the next days sometime. I had another hospital visit this week, second dose of the new medicine. Was an easier full day away, as the hospital part went faster this time. But still a full day and still exhausting. Especially when the plane got delayed for ages. Ugh. Anyway. Went fine to get more medicine :) But I am not feeling any better at all. Still have intense stomach pain often, though a little less. Still headaches, but also a bit less. Still hurt everywhere, though. But trying my best :) And hoping to feel better soon. Fingers crossed. Taking medicine at home in about four weeks, and no more hospital trips for ages, thankfully. Though I so loved going shopping with my mom and eating different and good food and going to their very warm and nice swimming pool. Which my town doesn't have. Hmph. Got a bit too much mail, and bought a bit too many pokemon cards. Oops. But it makes me so very happy, eee. <3 Been trying to tidy a bit more this week. Not going the best. Ha. I'm too exhausted. But, I managed to look through a bunch of my fairyloot books, and ended up with 38 that I have put up for sale. Ahhh. Hope to sell them all; already sold 2 :) Took forever and ever to decide that I did not want to read them, and then to take photos, and put them up for sale here in Norway. Ack. But have been meaning to do so for ages. Though I so love how gorgeous fairyloot books are. But there were way too many love triangles. And they are just not for me. I kept a few books, but trying to sell more than I'm keeping. Oops. Yet I'm still getting the YA and Adult duo each month. Sigh. Anyway. Writing way too much. So time to stop, ha :) Also, my wrists are killing me now. Ouch. But I had too much to say this week, oops. <3 This week I'm waiting on A Bittersweet Spell :D Hope that you are all doing well lately. <3

Mockingjay: Illustrated Edition. Book three. <3 Will peek at this one soon; looks gorgeous. But damaged. 
The Sixth Faction. First of many copies, haha :D I love Veronica and I loved Divergent with all my heart.
New Moon. Ohhh. New collector's edition :D Excited to open and look at how gorgeous it looks inside. <3
Better in Black. US paperback edition. <3 I know, so far behind on Cassie's books. But own all editions :)
Dead Beat. UK paperback edition :D Also looking gorgeous. Really hope to get to read this series soon.
The Vanished Sister. Oh, how I loved the first books in this series. So far behind. Must read them soon :D
Plushes. A bunch of different plushes this week. Oops. Three new Bukowski from the airport. Eee. Love them so very much. Two Jellycat ordered; finally got the bathrobe Bartholomew. <3 And a cute Ty shark.
Pokemon. Oh, help. I spent way too much money this week. Yet so awesome. Brought me way too much joy, haha :) Got a bunch of great cards. <3 Trying to sell a few :) Love my Pikachu's the most. Need more.
Diverse. One popmart mystery Skullpanda figure; not my favorite, but cute. Got one more Sonny Angel while in hospital town, one that can hang :) A cuter one, so love this elephant. And eee. I finally found that gorgeous Monsters Inc. pop figure while away too :D Yesss. Been looking for it for ages. It is so adorable.

ECHOES ACROSS THE WATER BY LIVIA BLACKBURNE 

Goodreads Description:

In the aftermath of the Chinese Civil War, two girls, one in Mao’s China and one in Kuomintang-ruled Taiwan, find their lives intertwined.

It’s 1958 in Mao’s China and eleven-year-old Shan is an outcast, facing constant persecution because her parents fought against the communist troops during the revolution and then fled. With no access to education and few prospects for the future, she wonders if she and her grandparents will forever be marked as traitors.

Nine-year-old Lihui has lived in Taiwan all her life, but she knows it’s not home. The adults in her life constantly remind her that they’re only staying until the Nationalist armies can take China back from the communists. But those lofty plans seem distant compared to the day-to-day of school, homework, and her parents’ financial struggles. When Lihui has visions transporting her to Shan’s world, the girls find their lives inexplicably intertwined, opening up a doorway and a lifeline neither expected to find.

Spanning the Taiwan Strait and a poignant moment in history, this deeply researched, emotionally resonant novel offers a rare glimpse into the long aftershocks of war. Told in alternating voices and laced with magical realism, it is a story about sisterhood, memory, and the small everyday rebellions that can change everything.

Format: 256 pages, Hardcover
Expected Publication: May 11, 2027 by Nancy Paulsen Books
Pre-Order: Blackwells and Amazon US and Amazon UK

Eee, new middle grade from Livia :D And much longer than her recent picture books. Which makes me so happy. I think it looks so gorgeous. It sounds so thrilling and magical. And sad. Can't wait to read :)

Ugh. This week have been the actual worst. Yet I am trying my best.

But yeah. This week actually sucked. And I'm so, so very exhausted. Oh. The medicine I got last week have made everything so much worse. Well, my psoriasis is all gone, but that is the only positive thing. I have had such bad headaches. And my stomach is truly killing me. I have the worst pain pretty much all day long. Oh. It hurts so very much. My stomach have not been this bad for years; not since I was ages without medicine. And now I tried a new one, and am so much worse. The rudest. Sigh. Will try taking it up with the hospital next week for my second dose. Sigh. So yeah. I'm tired. So very tired of hurting all the time. Ouch. Also just been playing games on aliexpress on my phone all week long, haha :) Just hope to be without pain soon. Hmph. Anyway. Some lovely mail this week. <3 This week I'm waiting on A Bittersweet Spell. <3 Hope you are doing well :) Did you get anything good?

Bomberman. New Switch game :D I remember playing this on my computer back in the day. Excited for it.

But these two were great as well; so love the pink one. Got one more Twinkle farm; finally got a cute one, eee :D I so love this wolf. My favorite, I think. Not buying more. Then I got a spooky Labubu purse; cute. Tried for a bracelet, wanted a Labubu, got a weird one instead. But still cute :) Then got one of the new spooky figures. And got one of my least favorites. Sigh. Hope to order more soon :)
