Captivating First Lines Pt. 2

April 28, 2024 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader or listener, I hope you’re enjoying your Sunday! I once again have literary appetizers for you.

Since I recently received a (very amusing) spam bot comment on one of my old list posts, I thought I might as well make a part 2 given it’s been three years! As you can guess from the title, I felt like listing the very first (or first few) lines from books currently on my shelves, that I found especially captivating for one reason or other. Maybe they’re particularly ominous, or amusing, or intriguing, but in each case, they set the tone incredibly well.

Books She Read: Mid Year Check-In

July 3, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again, dear reader or listener, we’re officially in my favorite month so it’s about time I look back at my standout reads of the year so far.
It has been a bit of a weird one for me, which means my reading moods were all over the place. This also means that of the several books I started, I only managed to finish reading the ones that hooked me the most, so picking out favorites out of the ones that made it is a lil hard.

Three Mini Reviews in One

March 18, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader or listener, I hope you are well!
Seen as I haven’t brought any reviews for your reading pleasure in a while, but I’ve also struggled to sit and write my usual long form ramblings because of reasons, I thought I’d try something a little different and present three mini reviews in one.
A Fantasy, a Gothic Romance, and a Romcom.
