On writing – book review

by moonlight lady 29. April 2019 The Reading Corner 2

Today I’m going to talk about a kind of book that I don’t usually read. Moreover, I would say that I had never read anything like it before. The book is On Writing by Stephen King and is a hybrid of writing manual and autobiography. Why do not I usually read these genres? Some may ...

The pleasure of enjoying a good book

by moonlight lady 17. April 2019 The Reading Corner 0

those people whose faces light up when someone asks them about their passions; but also who can spend hours talking about the same thing once someone has brought up the subject. It is true that many things fascinate me, but few have that effect on me, rabbits and books are among them. As I wrote ...

Pet Sematery – book review

by moonlight lady 03. April 2019 The Reading Corner 0

Pet Sematery is one of the many books that Stephen King has written and it may now sound especially familiar thanks to the movie that is out tomorrow. Well, the trailer caught my attention (I’ll return to this later) and, as I NEVER see a movie without reading the book first, I ran to buy ...

by moonlight lady 10. January 2019 The Reading Corner 0

Have you ever had a crush on a book? No kidding, this happens and it’s a very intense love at first sight. You enter a bookstore completely unawared to find yourself face to face with a book that, for some reason, catches your attention. There are books that also have the ability to get into ...

Carmilla – book review

by moonlight lady 26. December 2018 The Reading Corner 2

You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word ...

Shannara is a series of fantasy books by the writer Terry Brooks that narrates the adventures of the various members of the Ohmsford family.

Mystic Topaz – book review

by moonlight lady 26. September 2018 The Reading Corner 0

I know that at the beginning of the year I said that I was only going to read book series during 2018 but fuck it! Considering the fact that I am eternally waiting for some series to launch their final volume and that I’ve chosen series of more tan 15 books I wasn’t going to ...

53 Valencia’s Book Fair

by moonlight lady 02. May 2018 The Reading Corner 0

For the first time, for a while now, I’m talking about books again. And that is because the 53 Book Fair has little time left in Valencia and couldn’t miss the chance of writing about it. Yesterday I went to Viveros and toured the fair for the second time, this time with the intention of buying. ...

The madness of books

by moonlight lady 15. January 2018 The Reading Corner 2

This past year has been, by far, the year in which more books I have acquired. Of that I had no doubt, but this morning I was curious and I decided to take all of them out, I don’t know whether to see how many they were or to see what I still had to ...
