Fantasy The Crack at the Heart of Everything by Fiona Fenn I like it okay as a redemption story but it hasn’t really struck any deep seated chord with me. The ending is somewhat interesting but I’m not sure what it does for the story exactly. An exchange of Gifts by Anne McCaffrey Okay forContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2025”

Mini Reading Challenge 2025
Overall, I’m quite pleased that I had undertaken the themed mini reading challenge this year. It took me to different types of books outside my usual reading habits and I had some quite pleasant surprises. I think my favourite out of the 4 books for the Constellation theme would be Defy the Stars which hookedContinue reading “Mini Reading Challenge 2025”

Fantasy The Wilderwomen by Ruth Emmie Lang Technically this is the subgenre of urban fantasy or supernatural fantasy but to be honest it felt more like a family story to me because it’s all about two sisters’ efforts to find their missing Mom. It’s okay, the pacing is a little slow at bits but IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2025”

Fantasy The Sisters Mederos by Practice Sarath I do like this book in that the two Mederos sisters are well developed and you can easily throw in with the two of them in their quest to restore their family. An okay reading experience, not sure if I will come back for more. Mystery 13 byContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries : December 2024”

Fantasy Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman I got curious because His Darkest Materials was the title for the lesson on research for the novel writing course that I did with the University of British Columbia up on the edX platform. As I was reading it, it reminds me a little of one movie that IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: September 2024”
Broadening Horizon Reads 2024
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (audiobook) To be honest, this book doesn’t really grab my attention. I started tuning out after chapter 7 or 8 and I finally decided to abandon it after chapter 16. There is nothing really wrong with the author or the narrator per se but it is just not my cup ofContinue reading “Broadening Horizon Reads 2024”

Mystery The Mercenaries: Blood Diamonds by P. W. Storm It’s a complete mystery to me why this is filed under fantasy on my local library catalogue and this is the ebook catalogue nonetheless. The book cover also doesn’t speak fantasy either. Technically this is not a mystery like I usually read but a thriller aboutContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: March 2024”

Fantasy A girl called Corpse by Reece Carter This is actually a juvenile fantasy but I’m drawn by the blurb. And I quite enjoyed the story. If you like heartwarming stories I think this will be exactly your cup of tea. The Last Mapmaker by Christina Soontornvat This Thai fantasy is quite interesting. I didn’tContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2023”

Fantasy Venom’s Taste by Lisa Smedman I haven’t read a Forgotten Realms novel for quite some while ever since they turned the whole from high magic to low. And I picked this up purely because I know the author from the Shadowrun setting and the blurb reads all right. And I’m not disappointed. This isContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2023”
