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”
Broadening Horizon Reads 2025
Hard Rain Falling by Don Carpenter This was to be my first foray into the heist thriller, a subgenre of mystery that I have never delved into before. But the novel itself had too much of a literary fiction bend and the pace was just too slow for me so I DNF’ed it. Withered HillContinue reading “Broadening Horizon Reads 2025”
Moonlake’s Book Discoveries- September 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”
Oriental Fantasy 2025 (2)
Continuing with Striking the Zither by Joan He, I think it’s best seen as a fantasy set around certain historical events as detailed in the Romance of Three Kingdoms. In fact, after section 1, the fantasy element is so much that it’s enough to tip the whole story into the fantasy genre. On the otherContinue reading “Oriental Fantasy 2025 (2) “
Oriental Fantasy 2025
I am now eyeing Song of Silver, Flame Like Night by Amélie Wen Zhao and Strike the Zither by Joan He. The former is apparently more romantic fantasy/historical fiction/mystery whereas the latter is more reimagined Romance of the Three Kingdoms with female characters. I’m actually leaning towards the latter right now. Since I am goingContinue reading “Oriental Fantasy 2025”

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”
