Book Review - The Legendary Mo Seto by A Y Chan

This year has been an average one in terms of books. My reading habit has been dwindling since last year and has been that way. If not for The Write Reads and their book tours, I wonder where I would be with the habit. I have also noticed that my blog posts have got shorter and shorter. Where once I wrote three-minute reads, I am now writing one-minute reads. I am placing the blame on my social…

Book Review - Red Tunic by Kate Wiseman

History has never been kind to women. Even if many female historical figures inspire the generations after them, their struggles and trials are often underreported. Wartime and women are synonymous with untold horrors. Red Tunic by Kate Wiseman is a book based during the First World War. The Mullins twins – Alfred and Nina; their lives and their incredible situations were wonderfully written.…

Book Review - Legacy of Brightwash by Krystle Matar

A book that delves in to the realms of fantasy is not one that I look forward to enjoying. A prejudice that has been very seldom been proven wrong. When I signed up for the BBNYA, I chanced upon the Legacy of Brightwash. And I came to enjoy it.  Naturally, I was glad to be able to sign up to review it. The story starts off with a cozy meeting of colleagues. The setting, the camaraderie are all…

Reviving...

More than 5 months and a couple of posts only. I have neglected this space for the past year or longer. Such a phase happens. Life happens. Lethargy creeps in, Laziness takes over. So many reasons and so many excuses. But neglect is neglect. Soon, or soon-ish, there shall be posts. À bientôt!

Book Review - Black Fox One by Elyse Hoffman

Historical fiction is always an eye opening genre. It introduces one to a different timeline and there on it becomes a rabbit hole of learning. World War II is a much written about time. And, sometimes fiction fares better non-fiction. Black Fox One is set in this timeline but it is also, at its heart, a romance. Jonas has loved Avalina since childhood. Just when he was about to propose, Avalina…

Book Review - The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams by Victoria Williamson

Sometimes we all have that period of time where boredom is our best friend. I was stuck in such a time. The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams by Victoria Williamson was what I needed to get out of there. After reading Whale, it was only natural to ruminate and rusticate. And The Pawnshop of Stolen Dreams provided the right amount of gaiety. Continue reading Untitled

Book Review - Whale by Cheon Myeong-Kwan

As all serious reading goes, one starts the book and puts it down only to pick it up again. The need to savour the richness of the written word, to relish the work is necessary for such reading. Like a crystal glass filled with golden liquid, shimmering with that forbidden flavour, sip-savour-relish-sip; and so we live. Continue reading Untitled
