To be honest, I am running out of things to say about reading on this blog other than my Book Discoveries. Also, I’m feeling like changing things a bit with reading other than just relying on my whims. To this end, I’ve set myself a mini reading challenge which is this: I would read 4Continue reading “Mini Reading Challenge”

TBR list for 2025
I am yet to read the Doom of Odin and the new Black Jewel trilogy that I mentioned last year. I know I will definitely want to finish the Griminir trilogy but to be honest I am a bit iffy about the new Black Jewel trilogy given the new relationship developments (don’t want to giveContinue reading “TBR list for 2025”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries : December 2024
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”
Craft and Curiousity Reads 2024
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote I first learnt about this book through the UBC online novel writing courses and I was rather curious about it but the curiosity was not that acute that I searched for it straight away. In fact, it was only because I saw it in my library’s online catalogue thatContinue reading “Craft and Curiousity Reads 2024”
Craft and Curiousity reads 2024: Change of Plans
I had just ordered In Cold Blood by Truman Capote from my local library because I had heard about it during the UBC novel writing courses and I found it on my local library’s electronic catalogue so I switched out the Lovely Bones. I’m still contemplating the idea of swapping out the Shipping News forContinue reading “Craft and Curiousity reads 2024: Change of Plans “
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: September 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”
Book of Thematic Resonance 2024
As the title tells it all, I’m going to crown The Lost Choice: a Legend of Personal Discovery by Andy Andrews with this. At the time of writing I still have not finished this novel yet. But the meaning of Lost Choice does resonate with me. I don’t think this will be spoiler alert becauseContinue reading “Book of Thematic Resonance 2024”
A Changing Relationship with Cozy Mystery
I feel like I have said this N times already but sub-genre is a concept that comes slowly to me. Hence, I never quite grasped the concept of cozy mystery until recently and my first time experience didn’t amount to anything even close to liking. I felt the pacing was too slow and there wasContinue reading “A Changing Relationship with Cozy Mystery”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries: March 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”
