Book Review: The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove

July 27, 2020
The Glass Sentence by S E Grove

I stumbled across this in Habourfront Library last year but never really felt like it was time to read it (yes, I am a mood reader) until now! Although this was written in 2016, it happened to be a very timely read with an interesting world! The Glass Sentence starts with a legislative proposal: since… Read More Book Review: The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove

Rereading: East by Edith Pattou

July 10, 2020
East by Edith Pattou

When I was younger, I had the most wonderful neighbours (they’ve since moved out of Singapore). One day, my friend suggested we gather round in a circle, dim the lights, and use a torchlight to read East aloud. It was a magical experience and still colours the way I view the book. East is a… Read More Rereading: East by Edith Pattou

Rereading: The Obsidian Dagger by Catherine Webb

June 19, 2020
The Obsidian Dagger by Catherine Webb

After binge-reading Jane Austen, I needed a completely different book to get over my book hangover so I decided on a fun, quick read: The Obsidian Dagger by Catherine Webb, the second in the Horatio Lyle series. In The Obsidian Dagger, Horatio is compelled to investigate the murder of two people – a Captain with… Read More Rereading: The Obsidian Dagger by Catherine Webb

Rereading: The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers

June 15, 2020
Rereading The 13 Half Lives of Captain Bluebear Walter Moers

Looking back at my old blog, I’ve had this book since 2010, which makes it ten years old (and explains the yellowed pages). I don’t think I’ve reread it since then because while I remember enjoying the story, it’s also very long – 703 pages to be exact! Even with illustrations and the occasional large… Read More Rereading: The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers

Finally Read: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J. K. Rowling

May 28, 2020
Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone by J K Rowling

I am majorly late to join the “Have Read Harry Potter” group but here I am! The books were so popular by the time I heard about them that I didn’t dare touch the books in case I didn’t enjoy them. Plus, I pretty much knew all the major plot points just by listening to… Read More Finally Read: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J. K. Rowling

Book Review: The Gate of Sorrows by Miyuki Miyabe

May 25, 2020
The Gate of Sorrows by Miyuki Miyabe

Alternative post title: Oh wow I need to buy a copy of this + The Book of Heroes for myself because this is AMAZING I read Brave Stories years ago and really enjoyed it, but as is quite usual for me, never really bothered to check if Miyuki Miyabe wrote anything else. So imagine my… Read More Book Review: The Gate of Sorrows by Miyuki Miyabe

Daily Reading: 13th May//The Bad Beginning in Brave Story

May 13, 2020
Daily Reading 13th May Bad Beginnings Brave Story

Today, I started Brave Story which I have been half eagerly anticipating and half dreading. The anticipating stuff is obvious – I remember really enjoying this when I read it and I just finished The Gate of Sorrows (review… will be posted soon) and I loved that too. The dread part, though, is another matter.… Read More Daily Reading: 13th May//The Bad Beginning in Brave Story

Book Review: The Truth by Terry Pratchett

May 13, 2020
The Truth by Terry Pratchett

I took the unprecedented step of borrowing a Discworld novel recently. I normally buy them because they are great for re-reads, but I was craving something new and funny and hadn’t had the time to go to the bookshop (the nearby library has a lot more books too). In The Truth, Ankh Morpork has finally… Read More Book Review: The Truth by Terry Pratchett

Book Review: Blood Heir by Amelie Wen Zhao

April 20, 2020
Blood Heir by Amelie Wen Zhao

At long last, I’ve managed to find and read a copy of Blood Heir! I’ve been wanting to read this ever since I heard about the kerfuffle on Book Twitter but was also kind of daunted because what if it doesn’t live up to expectations? But overall, this was an intense debut that left me… Read More Book Review: Blood Heir by Amelie Wen Zhao

Book Review: The Night Parade by Kathryn Tanquary

February 24, 2020
The Night Parade by Kathryn Tanquary

I first heard about The Night Parade when Wendy at Literary Feline reviewed it … in 2016. Yes, this has been on my TBR list for four years! But it’s about Obon and Japanese culture so I was definitely going to read it sooner or later. In The Night Parade, Saki is dragged from her… Read More Book Review: The Night Parade by Kathryn Tanquary
