AS WELL AS WATCHED AS THE LOVE OF HER LIFE DIED IN HER ARMS. this sweet girl needs a really good therapist.

The Scholomance by Naomi Novik (2020-2022)

A Deadly Education is set at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death (for real) — until one girl, El, begins to unlock its many secrets. There are no teachers, no holidays, and no friendships, save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter grade, for the school won’t allow its students to leave until they graduate… or die! The rules are deceptively simple: Don’t walk the halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere. El is uniquely prepared for the school’s dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out millions. It would be easy enough for El to defeat the monsters that prowl the school. The problem? Her powerful dark magic might also kill all the other students.

Fablehaven by Brandon Mull (2006-2010)

For centuries, mystical creatures of all description were gathered to a hidden refuge called Fablehaven to prevent their extinction. The sanctuary is one of the last strongholds of true magic. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite...

 Kendra and her brother, Seth, have no idea their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws keep order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken, powerful forces of evil are unleashed, forcing Kendra and Seth to face the greatest challenge of their lives, to save their family, Fablehaven, and perhaps even the world.

Ranger's Apprentice by John Flanagan (2004-2011)

They have always scared him in the past--the Rangers, with their dark cloaksand shadowy ways. The villagers believe the Rangers practice magic that makes them invisible to ordinary people. And now 15-year-old Will, always small for his age, has been chosen as a Ranger's apprentice. What he doesn't yet realize is that the Rangers are the protectors of the kingdom. Highly trained in the skills of battle and surveillance, they fight the battles before the battles reach the people. And as Will is about to learn, there is a large battle brewing. The exiled Morgarath, Lord of the Mountains of Rain and Night, is gathering his forces for an attack on the kingdom. This time, he will not be denied. . . . 

Ruby Red Trilogy by Kerstin Geir (2009-2010)

Sixteen-year-old Gwen lives with her extended - and rather eccentric - family in an exclusive London neighborhood. In spite of her ancestors' peculiar history, she's had a relatively normal life so far. The time-traveling gene that runs like a secret thread through the female half of the family is supposed to have skipped over Gwen, so she hasn't been introduced to "the mysteries," and can spend her time hanging out with her best friend, Lesley. It comes as an unwelcome surprise when she starts taking sudden, uncontrolled leaps into the past.

She's totally unprepared for time travel, not to mention all that comes with it: fancy clothes, archaic manners, a mysterious secret society, and Gideon, her time-traveling counterpart. He's obnoxious, a know-it-all, and possibly the best-looking guy she's seen in any century...

The Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale (2003-2009)

She was born with her eyes closed and a word on her tongue, a word she could not taste.

Her name was Anidori-Kiladra Talianna Isilee, Crown Princess of Kildenree, and she spent the first years of her life listening to her aunt’s stories and learning the language of the birds, especially the swans. And when she was older, she watched as a colt was born, and she heard the first word on his tongue, his name, Falada.

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins (2010-2013)

Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father—an elusive European warlock—only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters. 

By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect. 

As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

Fables by Bill Willingham (2002-2015)

When a savage creature known only as the Adversary conquered the fabled lands of legends and fairy tales, all of the infamous inhabitants of folklore were forced into exile. Disguised among the ""mundys,"" their name for normal citizens of modern-day New York, these magical characters created their own secret society that they call Fabletown.

From their exclusive luxury apartment buildings on Manhattan's Upper West Side, these creatures of legend must fight for their survival in the new world.

Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey (1968-2018)

On a beautiful world called Pern, an ancient way of life is about to come under attack from a myth that is all too real. Lessa is an outcast survivor--her parents murdered, her birthright stolen--a strong young woman who has never stopped dreaming of revenge. But when an ancient threat to Pern reemerges, Lessa will rise--upon the back of a great dragon with whom she shares a telepathic bond more intimate than any human connection. Together, dragon and rider will fly . . . and Pern will be changed forever.

Thursday Next by Jasper Fforde (2001-present)

England is a virtual police state where an aunt can get lost (literally) in a Wordsworth poem and forging Byronic verse is a punishable offense. All this is business as usual for Thursday Next, renowned Special Operative in literary detection. But when someone begins kidnapping characters from works of literature and plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Bront 's novel, Thursday is faced with the challenge of her career.

The Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir (2019-present)

The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead nonsense.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will be become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

Of course, some things are better left dead.

Rereading books and rewatching movies rn

Where have all the fans of this book series gone?😭

[multifictional]

Ehi guys!

Recently, I got commented in my fic if I would continue updating.

Short answer: yes.

And yeah, I know the last time I posted was nearly a year ago, but my life had been crazy last year and let’s say my dog passing took an hold on me. Thing is, I’m finally getting out of my writer’s block!

So yeah. I will post Chapter 3 of A Court Of Burning Seasons in these days (I will try to upload it today or tomorrow… Monday by last resort).

Can’t wait to be back because I’m really got inspired to write even other fanfiction recently. Some of the ones I’m started writing apart for another one about Eris are about Supernatural (I got obsessed with this series, PLEASE), and Ruby Red trilogy (we need more fanfiction of it, absolutely). So yeah. I’m back.

While waiting, though, I wanted to tell you that I decided to put my fanfiction even on wattpad and ao3!!

If anyone is interested in supporting me there or just prefer reading fics there here are the links:

• wattpad

• ao3

And I also created a tik tok account where I will post scenes, spoilers, videos… and so on!

You find me here: • tik tok

See you soon!!❤️

"Ready?"- "Ready if you are"

I have finished the three part series in practically two days. It's so adorable. And I have realized that many parts of my love for the series is probably due to nostalgia but I love Gwen's family.

I aspire to be an aunt Maddy when I grow old. I aspire to be a cool friend like Leslie Hay. I aspire to be as cool as Madame Rossini (and I wished she and Aunt Maddy had more scenes). The scenes with Lucy and Paul were also always a highlight ❤️❤️. I love the Montroses generally ☺️.

Not gonna lie... The men are hot. Even the questionable ones x.x. I want a bite out of the de Villiers. I'm annoyed with myself for wanting a bite specifically out of William Whitman(at any point) and especially out of Falk de Villiers.

Aaaaa.

It's a cute insta love romance. I'm surprised how fast paced everything is. The whole trilogy practically has a play time over maybe a few weeks which is so crazy to me considering how much has happened. And outside Gwen's powers there are little to no plotholes throughout the story despite the matter being time travel.

I'm confused why the trilogy is so cozy to me but it is. It felt like a warm blanket for me.

As a huge fan of time travel stories, I wanted to share one of my associations.

In the Bridon Arc's Ending, we have this sequence:

This intricate machine that Cheng Xiaoshi seems to be trapped in reminds me a lot of the chronograph from Kerstin Gier's Ruby Red Trilogy, the German series that was adapted into the movies.

The chronograph is an invention used for time travel. It contains twelve gemstones that correspond to twelve time travelers who have a special time travel gene.

On the chronograph, you can set a specific date to which the traveler should go back in time and for how long (time is limited; the traveler's maximum time depends on what gemstone they are). The traveler reappears in the exact same place from which they disappeared.

The chronograph is powered by the blood of a time traveler. The person inserts their finger into the machine, the blood punctures their finger, and the blood ignites a gemstone that is subject to the traveler.

This is how the chronograph works in the first movie, Ruby Red, where the Ruby time traveler uses it:

Quite similar to what we see in the Link Click's ending.

What is also interesting in the Kerstin Gier's series, the chronograph contains an elixir of immortality, which can only be extracted when the blood of every time traveler appears in the chronograph.

It is also worth mentioning that the chronograph is not necessary for time travel. It simply makes the time travel controlled. Travelers go back in time randomly, they themselves are not able to control when and to what time they go back, nor how long their journey will last. The chronograph prevents such uncontrolled travel.

I honestly doubt the creators of Link Click had any prior experience with a German teenage paranormal romance about time travel, but who knows.
