Moonlake’s Reading List (2)

All right, I skipped Sunday again! Two consecutive days of 30+ Celsius cooked my brain but mostly, I’m still out of my blogging routine. Ah well, I’m still owing one and I will be keeping tabs.   Hmmm…. I did say this won’t be an actual series but well, I’m not really in blogging moodContinue reading “Moonlake’s Reading List (2)”

Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- May 2015

I’m going out tomorrow so posting in advance again. As I promised, this will be about the books I’ve read in the last 3 months and what I thought about them. For my new followers, I don’t do book reviews per se because I’m not really objective as a reader of books in general. IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- May 2015”

Moonlake’s Reading List (1)

This is not an actual new serial that I’m not starting, merely a teaser/foreshadowing thread for the Moonlake’s Book Discoveries series that I had promised to do every three months.

Taiko by Eiji Yoshikawa. It is a historical fiction that tells the story of one man’s rise from a low starting pointContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Tastes (4)”

Moonlake’s Book Tastes (3)

Today, I’m going to change the tone slightly by talking about the mystery books that I’ve read and enjoyed. While not the main staple of my reading (mystery books to me are more like side dishes or desert, they serve as in-betweens for my trips into long serious fantasy epics), I do frequently read mysteryContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Tastes (3)”

Moonlake’s Book Tastes (2)

So I am continuing with the authors and books that fall into my comfort zone but not necessarily brilliant by themselves. I am quite picky (if you had read the post before this, there are only two authors that I named as my favourites) so there are more substantial number of authors that I diligentlyContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Tastes (2)”
