The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

This book has been on my must-read list for the summer. The teaser for it was so incredibly interesting that I couldn’t resist. I’ve had so many books to read so far that I only just got time now. But boy am I glad I gave it a shot! When Father disappears, Carolyn and her…

The Devil You Know by Elisabeth de Mariaffi

I’ve never been someone who has been partial when it comes to books. What I mean is that I don’t go out of my way to seek out books that have a Canadian background or an Indian background. But when I do come across a novel that is set in a country that I have…

Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card

I remember seeing this book in my elementary school library. I would always pass by it because it looked boring or too “sci-fi” for my taste. Why did I choose to read it now? I don’t know. I guess I just felt like stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m glad I did. After having…

Half a Crown by Jo Walton

This is the final book in the trilogy and I must admit that I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey of “the world that could have been”.
