Three months, Six books – III

by moonlight lady 02. October 2017 The Reading Corner 0

At the beginning of the year I decided to do for the first time that of the “New Year’s resolutions”. I have to admit that I did it completely on my way since I only thought of one resolution, and more than resolution I would say it’s a challenge. This year, at the beginning of ...

Dracula – book review

by moonlight lady 12. September 2017 The Reading Corner 3

Before anyone gets surprised I want to make it clear that I already knew the story and that it isn’t the first time I read this book. I read Dracula for the first time about 8 years ago, and I read it in Spanish. As you can imagine 8 years is a long time and after seeing several films my memory of the book was a bit blurred, all that not to mention that I wanted to read it in its original language.

A Darker Shade of Magic

The Phantom of the Opera

by moonlight lady 07. March 2017 The Reading Corner 2

For years I’ve been avoiding all king of information, conversation and, basically, everything that had something to do with the story of The Phantom of the Opera. For years I have run away screaming every time someone seemed to feel like talking about it or closed my eyes every time any visual reference to the ...
