1. Hmm... I would just take my second or third name in use, I am boring 😂 My second name is Satu and that means fairytale in English 😂😂😂

2. I read so much in English, maybe that's why I have not met my name too often in books. But Finland's first feminist was a writer named Minna Canth and in one of her works Johanna is a main character.

I am eager to start Stay a Spell series. I have the first one, so the second one is something I have been oogling. So Don't Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross is my answer 😀

I hate characters with age crisis and 30-yo Cameron thought several times how old he was. And 70-yo Tova was living like she had one leg in the grave already. Depressing. I didn't like Cameron: he was lazy & wanted to find his father for the money. Marcellus was awesome!

I was surprised how this was mentioned as a feel-good book somewhere. The ending was happy but it was too coincidental to my liking.

I definitely had too high expectations.

I liked Zilan, she worked hard even when she had immense troubles. Secondary characters were lacking some depth.

I was happy with the last part of the book: it was more unpredictable and there were some nice twists. It was also a bit creepier.

The middle part was a bit slow, the last part made it worth to go through. Romance was lacking some building up. Entertaining, creepy, gory - okay but not the best book by the author.

#serieslove2024

I liked Hollis and she was cute with Aini. But this didn't feel like a romance, I think this was more about Hollis finding herself. And because I thought I was reading a romance I was a bit disappointed.

This had way too many long and detailed scenes where a group was playing a roleplaying game. I wasn't that invested in that.

This was a cute story but nothing really special.

This book had everything I love! Characters were fabulous, I can't wait to meet them again! Flavia is so clever and hilarious, amazing main character.

I also adored the setting, I could imagine myself there, riding a bike. It felt so alive!

This was pure pleasure to read and I am so happy that I did that. It's super rare to find a pearl like this.

“Maybe humans need animals to help them understand the world.“

I read Finnish historical fiction and found it enjoyable. I loved the character growth, but I would have loved to know more about characters' pasts.

The ugly war was horrible, but I loved the writing. This made me wonder how people who have lived through war can ever be able to continue with their lives.

The ending felt a bit rushed.

Characters were underdeveloped, there were secondary characters that were names only. Main characters didn't feel really unique.

I loved the world & magic in it. And I also adored the beginning of the book. But then something happened at 50 % and there were nothing else than long & dragging marriage negotitations.

This was predictable story, I enjoyed scenery but plotwise this didn't offer that much.

I got some lovely #LitsyLove 💚 @TieDyeDude

Characters were likable but I also loved that they did mistakes and weren't flawless.

This was a bit rough to read, this told about people who were living in the middle of the war and there weren't that many happy moments.

This had some repetitive sentences and also could have been a bit shorter. But this was pretty intriguing to read.

I love characters in this series, I enjoyed meeting them again.

There was a lot of action, but the plot wasn't really surprising: every single thing got solved maybe even too smoothly and I was a bit disappointed. At the beginning there were several impossible looking challenges ahead but they weren't that challenging after all.

This was a fun book, made me laugh and I enjoyed reading.

#SeriesLove2024

Chapters were like short stories: every chapter was from different POV and main characters were from different generations.

Writing felt a bit dull and didn't get me to feel all those emotions. And it's a shame because everybody's story was interesting and touching, but still managed to left me a bit cold.

I would have loved to have some plot, because this felt a bit like an anthology and I didn't love that.

I loved how well written characters were: some are super despicable and some really likable.

This was pretty dark book, and that's the atmosphere I often love. But this also felt a bit confusing to read: there were questions you wanted answered - but not so many answers were given. I think things make more sense in the next book.

#SeriesLove2024

This was an insta-love, and that didn't work for me at the beginning. The present timeline felt more believable, and flashbacks about things that had happened years ago gave some depth.

Plot was a bit missing, it took some time before things got interesting. But the last part of the book was really intriguing and everythings ends with a cliffhanger.
