Reading Updates and Monthly Favorite

Reading Updates : 

The Lost Tales of Mercia By Jaydon Woods "Review" : 

I finished reading this few weeks ago ; These Tales were worth the Read . 

Historical fiction is by far one of my favorite genres ,These Tales turned out to be a prelude to a whole Series, that centers around Eadric the Grasper . 

These tales were random accounts of a long forgotten history of Engla-lond and their wars with the invading Viking Danes .

Each can be taken as a stand alone as well , if you are eager to know about ancient tales from a forgotten time , The Lost  Tales of Mercia is the place to start .

Doctor Who : Nightshade  by Mark Gatiss "Review": 

I finished  reading this book last Sunday ,

Doctor who adventures never ceased to amaze me whether on TV or in books . This book is part of the"New adventures of Doctor who" , the start was a bit slow  , then after few pages in ,the book was on fire (not literally lol) but you know what I mean . Its sometimes hard to place the adventures of the book at hand,  in the already existing time line of the show . but then if you focus on the companions you'll eventually know which Doctor the book revolves around.

The Doctor in this book is the Seventh doctor portrayed  on  screen by Sylvester McCoy , but while reading , I , for several times had William Hartnell and Peter Capaldi's faces in mind . solely because it lured me into thinking of one or the other . This book showed me that the core of the doctor is always the same , no matter how many faces he wears ,no matter how many times her regenerates , no matter how different he wants to be from his previous regenerations  , deep down ,it is always that old Time Lord from Gallifrey, who stole a TARDIS and ran away with his Granddaughter Susan . 

The Vampire's witch saga by Jennifer Abrahams : 

This was a quick read and still a read in progress , the writer only published three chapters (I think) and I ate them yesterday  for lunch , haha .
The author sets the chapters separately as book#1 book#2 ... but all I can honestly see is quick chapters . of 15 to 20 pages max .

This relatively brand new young adult novel centers around  a college girl "Skyla" and her Friend Brooke , and how their life was altered after a tarot card reading . 

To be honest the start was promising and intriguing, but then ,while reading the second book then the third , it didn't keep me on edge at all . The writing and the plot's flow was monotonous for the 3 chapters I read, , at times I  wanted to like it; when it started  involving other characters . I wish the writing was more detailed and had some suspense in it .  The writing was sometimes confusing as well , not to mentioned that  there was some  spelling mistakes or rather typos. The Grammar Nazi in me would like to think that they were typos . 

Sweet dream ,Silver screen by Moxie Mozcal :

I finished reading this Novella of 50 pages, last night before going to bed.  Sweet dream, Silver Screen by Moxie Mozcal is a film noir inspired Novella , what I love the most about it, is the  mystery and at times the absurdity of certain acts or events, the gruesome aspect to it is quite vulgar which is quite expected from such a genre . For me this read was like revisiting Mulholland Drive which is  one of David lynch's movies, that was also centered about two girls and a mysterious box .

The soul's code : in Search of Character and calling by James Hillman  "Stand By" : 

I m currently putting on STAND BY a non-fiction book called  "The soul's code : in Search of Character and calling" . Because it honestly needs all of my attention and focus, and for now I can't fully focus on it . Its best to read a chapter or two every now and then , and deeply reflect on them rather than just reading it all together. I took the decision ,  not because I don't enjoy reading it but because the content and knowledge is so dense , that the reader should take some time out . maybe the reviews on Goodreads will explain it better .

Currents Reads :

  I am currently reading Full Metal Alchemist.  A manga that I  always wanted to either read or watch as an Anime , I reached the 6th chapter which isn't that much to be honest ,I can't help but fall in love with the two brothers though.

Monthly Favorite : 

My monthly favorite is an App ,that I stumbled upon last week , its called "Manga Rock" , A huge amount of Manga is available in the store , its up to you to pick and choose . they also provide users with new updates and new available chapters .

the three things mentioned in their Ad , are SO TRUE .
