diary of a wannabe writer

I went into the story not knowing anything about it and got instantly hooked. It's so dark and moody and so addicting! :) It's set in a world full of magic. Some have a lot, some a little and some none at all. Six of the most talented people are recruited for a unique position every decade, and only five will make it through the first year. The Alexandrian society guards the lost knowledge, that is not for all to see. The five who make it through will be the guardians of the knowledge. They will have a life of success, wealth and power. Libby and Nico can control the world around them. They fit together, even though they want nothing to do with each other, Reina is a naturalist, the nature around her talks to her, but she doesn't like her power that much. Parisa can read everyone's mind and can travel to the unconscious mind to unravel what is hidden behind each and every one. Tristan can see through every illusion and Callum, an empath who can make anyone do whatever t

  I never expected that there would be another book in the original Percy Jackson series. I was looking forward to reading it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Percy is almost done with high school, but before he can enter college, he needs three recommendation letters from Gods. And the only way to get that is to do random quests for whichever God needs something. First, he has to help Ganymede, who lost his golden goblet. He needs to find it before it gets into the wrong hands because it can turn any mortal into a god.  Nothing is ever easy or straightforward in Percy's world. He, Annabeth and Grover are back together and it's the best thing! :) It has all of the elements that made the Percy Jackson series so good, friendship, adventure and awesome mythology. The only thing that it hits differently is that the stakes are a lot lower...  ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ book info published September 26, 2023 number of pages 268 GoodReads Amazon happy reading, anie

One of the most romantic stories I've read in a long time. It's a super slow burn and super romantic.  Xie Lian has ascended to godhood three times, angering a lot of gods in the process. Now he has a lot of debts to pay and no money to do so. in the 800 years since he was a beloved crown prince, people forgot about him and there are no temples dedicated to him anymore. He is sent to the mortal realm to hunt down the violent ghosts that are causing trouble and earn enough to pay off all that he is owed. He meets a mysterious stranger along the way, who is clearly a lot more than he pretends to be. They have an instant connection... :) The fantasy world created is detailed and well-written writer and the romance is just the sweetest. The show is very similar and I can't decide which one I like better. :) I highly recommend it! book info published December 14, 2021 number of pages 432 GoodReads Amazon happy reading, anie

This was the book that started it all for me. I remember getting it and reading it for the first time. There is nothing quite like the feeling of diving into a new magical world and getting lost in the book. 11 years ago a child was born to a witch and a wizard. One year later evil wizard tried to kill him, but he couldn't. He disappeared, and his parents died protecting him. He was left with his aunt and uncle to be raised alongside his cousin. It wasn't a happy childhood. He was neglected and punched to the side until 10 years later letters started to arrive. They never let him read it, going to the extreme to prevent him from getting one. Until the evening of his 11 birthday. They were hiding in an abandoned cabin in the middle of the lake when there was a knock on the doors that would change his life forever. Hagrid delivers his letter and tells him who he really is. He took him shopping the next day and one month later he was on the train to Hogwarts. His life at school wa

Kali is a teenager, with an immortal soul. She is being punished for something that happened in Pompeii to live as a mortal girl along with her family. If she manages not to use her powers by the time she reaches 17 years, she and her family will go back to being immortal beings.  She hasn't managed to come to that age in 200 lifetimes, but what no one else knows, is that that is on purpose. She doesn't want to lose what she has and doesn't want anything to change.  This is the lifetime when it all changes. She is being blackmailed and is left with little to no choice. I like the premise of the story, but I had time to get into it. Kali is a very hard person to like and root for. ☆☆ ☆ book info published April 30, 2024 series The Wanshiqi Trilogy #1 GoodReads Amazon happy reading, anie

In the 5th grade, they became pen pals for a school assignment and never stopped writing to each other, until 2 years ago, when the letters stopped.

book info published January 15th, 2024 number of pages 306 GoodReads Amazon giveaway a Rafflecopter giveaway follow the book tour here excerpt A current hummed between us. An undeniable connection. I couldn’t remember a moment like this when I wanted to bury my hands in a woman’s hair and discover the taste of her lips. In past dating experiences, I had all the romance planned out in my head well ahead of time. Right now, I was running on spontaneity, which wasn’t one of my strengths when it came to relationships of the past. Maybe it was time I tried something different. She pulled cash out of her mini-purse and held it out. "That's too much." "At least go halvsies." She shook the bills. "Keep it. Call it a thank you for making my first date in a long time memorable." She nibbled on her lip, an endearing quirk. "Okay, thanks. Walk me to my car. Then we’ll say goodbye." We strolled up the hill away from the restaurant in silence,

The story is set in the future, where everyone is playing an immersive virtual game. The MC is not the best player, but he is very persistent. He doesn't have the best luck and tends to make the wrong decisions. I liked the art and the idea behind the story but found it very hard to follow. I kept getting lost and losing focus on the story. rating❤❤❤ cover❤❤❤❤ artwork  ❤ ❤ ❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie

When Oceans Rise is a Little Mermaid retelling, with Filipino elements and alternate universes. It's such a great story, with great writing and interesting characters. It's a great and impactful story full of fantastical elements, but the ones that had the biggest impact on me were the realistic ones. The bad relationship that Malaya finds herself in, the intricacies of gaslighting, the subtleties of gaslighting, and abuse were portrayed in a very, very realistic way. We all feel like we couldn't find ourselves in that situation, it could never happen to me. And when you find yourself in that kind of situation, there is so much shame that you too, feel speechless, like Malaya did. Highly recommend it! rating❤❤❤ ❤ cover❤❤❤❤ Goodreads || Amazon happy reading, anie
