Bad girl me had left this series by the way-side for too long! But, to be honest, I haven’t been reading as much so I possibly could in the past, since reading does compete with my writing time. And I’ve also been doing more of what I consider light reading too. But that’s enough preamble,Continue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- January 2018 (1)”

Advanced Reading Review- Reapers of Soul and Magic
I’m doing something new, which is signing up to be an Advanced Reading Copy (ARC) reader for a debut novel which has already gone live at Amazon . Here’s a picture of the front and back covers. Below is my actual review which is already up on Amazon and Goodreads. I’m not big on stars since I don’t thinkContinue reading “Advanced Reading Review- Reapers of Soul and Magic”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2016
I didn’t read much between the last Book Discovery post and this one because first I was engaged with the epub and now I am contemplating a slow transition towards being a FT writer on my own. So fiction has been pushed out of the way as you can see below. Third Girl by AgathaContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 2016”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- June 2016
Due to my involvement with the ePub, I had mainly been reading short stories or Agatha Christie mysteries. Short story collections Wonders of the Invisible World by Patricia McKillip I like her prose which belongs to the flowing school, what others potentially call verbose. I’m generally a fan of such a style and that’s theContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- June 2016”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2015
I think this post is actually due last Sunday but because I was so excited to share the news about short story writing, it gets pushed back. But I’m sure we’re all used to my whims now if you’ve been following me and isn’t a casual passer-by. If you are, this is a series IContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- December 2015”
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. I had just finished a non-fiction about falconry and Mongolia. It was really research for the fantasy novel based upon the Mongolians that I’m tryingContinue reading “Moonlake’s Reading List (1)”
Moonlake’s Book Tastes (5)
My light reading list covers the following that were not already discussed in previous posts of this series: Robert Aspirin’s Myth Adventures series which is hilarious, covering the adventures of a magician’s apprentice after he had acquired a ‘demon’ that his master had summoned. It stands out because its main selling point is the introductionContinue reading “Moonlake’s Book Tastes (5)”
Moonlake’s Book Tastes (4)
So today I had promised to share some of the ‘unusual reads’ speaking from the perspective of my own tastes. I’m not going by any order of personal preference but first up is….. 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)”
