The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

I have heard a lot about this book on the blogosphere over the past few years. It has popped on and off my radar. I have read a few Sandman graphic novels, among certain other ones and know what the author usually sounds like. Despite that fact, I was a little surprised by the content…

Equal Rites (Discworld #3) by Terry Pratchett

I continue with my rereading of the Terry Pratchett books that were reprinted quite recently. This should have been read before the previous one that I reviewed (Wyrd Sisters), but it does not make much difference except show one of the characters in a whole different light. The story had the trademark humour, and I…

The Quicksilver Court (Rooks and Ruin #2) by Melissa Caruso

I am still reviewing books that I have read a while back and yet to catch up with my current reads, which in some cases is good. This is because I am focusing a lot on craft works and this takes me away from actual reading (for now) Strangely enough, I preferred the first book…

Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor

I usually do not pay attention to books when the descriptions liken them to something else. If I had, I might not have chosen to pick it up! Unlike a majority of the readers whose reviews and gushing I have had the privilege to read, I am not a fan of The Night Circus. Something…

The Becoming (The Dragon Heart Legacy #2) by Nora Roberts

I have read and reviewed the previous work almost exactly one year ago: The Awakening (The Dragon Heart Legacy #1) . I am a big fan of all versions of the author's works, with only a few falling through. I was pleasantly surprised when I read the first book of this series since it had…

Wyrd Sisters (Discworld #6) by Terry Pratchett

It was only toward the very end of this book that I realised that I had read it before. For those who have read this and others who might in the future, it was the reveal that did it. It was so odd and clever that it must have stuck in my head from a…

A Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash

Truthfully, it was the cover that drew my eye to this book. There was something very haunting about the presentation. Coupled with the title, I knew I wanted to read it. It took me a while to get to it, but once I did, I really enjoyed it.It was a highly unexpected setting. I would…

Eight – Fantastical Tales from Here, There & Everywhere by Poornima Manco

The book is by an author I had not read before, but the cover and the intriguing prospect of different stories from across the world was a big draw. It took me some time to work my way through the books for one main reason, even though the length of the stories is short, it…
