Moby Dick by Herman Melville

-
Who hasn't heard of the great, white sperm whale of legend? While most people have heard of this beast of a whale, few have read about its origin. I remember seeing a theatrical version of Moby Dick playing on the television a few years ago. I only watched for a few minutes before being bored and going to my room. It wasn't until last year (2021) that I decided to give the book a read. There are very few books that have prompted such a reaction from me, but this book was quite the read.

The Shadow of Fallen Gods by V.R Cardoso

-
Being the second installment of the  Wounds in the Sky  series by  V. R. Cardoso , I was excited to see how the story continued from where it left off. This book does an excellent job picking up where the last one left off and seems to build up to its own plot nicely while expanding its universe as well. While the first book had its own share of deaths and high-risk situations, this book seems to take everything to the next level. Unfortunately, it appears that it'll be some time before we get to read the third book, so, for now, I'll have to make do with these two!

Ember's End by S.D Smith

-
Looking through my ebook library, I saw one series that I had started but have yet to finish. When I first got my Fire Tablet, I looked through the free-to-read books, and this series caught my eye. Although a children's series, it provided me with adequate stimulation before heading to bed. I'm not a fan of rabbits. I prefer their predators, birds (which are the villains in this story), but the protagonist won me over, and so did the plot. Mainly, the idea of rabbits with swords was entertaining enough.

The Dragon Hunter and the Mage by V.R. Cardoso

-
To add some variety to my readings, I came across this book. It caught my attention at 'Dragon,' so I decided to give it a shot. Being more of a young adult novel, it's different from the other books I've read. Still, I don't look at complexity in books, but rather the story and this one seemed promising.  The Dragon Hunter and the Mage  is the first book of the  Wounds in the Sky  series by  V. R. Cardoso , who, I believe, is a relatively new author.

2020: Book Rewind

-
I started this vlog earlier this year to read more and help improve my diction. I've been letting my mind rot for a while and decided to start working my brain out more. Unfortunately, I took a long break between my first two posts and now, but I'm not backing down next year! Linking with Goodreads has helped push me to keep reading while crossing off some books I've always wanted to read. I also decided to take Goodreads' 2020 reading challenge, but I think everyone knows how that turned out.
