Hi everybody!
It’s been a while.
I’ve been reading! I promise. Just not the books I posted about the last time.
Except maybe this writing craft book while I’m rewriting the 4th novelette in my Cape of Good Hope series. It would actually then be a brand new story I’ll be adding to my Blog A Story project here on my website.
How to Write A Novel Using the Snowflake Method by Randy Ingermanson
Progress: 60 of 211 pages
I did however discover a new-to-me author: Morgana Best. An Australian author that writes cozy mysteries. I’ve read the following of her Vampires and Wine Series:
Now I’m busy with the 6th book in this series:
Witches’ Craft by Morgana Best
Progress: 55%
It’s a colourful bunch of characters that’s developed over the books. Every book is a standalone with their own mystery to solve but an over arching mystery has been unfolding over the books.
The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski
Progress: 70 of 281 pages
The Witcher! Yes. I am a fan. And an avid watcher of the series on Netflix. What fascinates me about this book is that it’s written in the same way I love to write my stories – a series of short stories. I should start doing that again. I do however want to reread this book from the beginning.
The Dirty Duet (Dirty Universe Book 1) by Laurelin Paige
Progress: 458 of 542 pages
The only romance I’ve read in a while. And not a sweet romance. I’m not particularly enjoying this book. It’s a strange book of confused misogynistic alpha male habits and emotionally traumatised sexual abused victim behaviour. With that weird ‘sex-is-the-answer’ scenes which I page over. I cannot get myself to care for sex scenes in books. All that said, there’s some interesting character development in this book with quite a lot of slow-burn progress. Not my cup of tea but hey, now I just need to finish it. Yes. I am a completionist!
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Progress: Jumping around…
This is a relisten of this jewel of a book. But so much more valuable to me than a few years ago when I listened to it the 1st time. I have to admit, MUCH happened since then. I’m also not listening to this with the intention of getting it done.
I would say, go get this book and read or listen to it. On repeat! All humans, sharing this journey with their fellow humans, need this book.
Last but not least…
Progress: completed it x 2
Where The Power of Now can be perceived as whoo-whoo, this book is pure science. Their philosophies might be somewhat different, but both strive to help us wake up to our wholeness. So powerful and a book I’ve been relistening to since last year.
In closing…
What are you reading?
Have you read any of these books?
For now I just want to finish the 3 fiction books I’m busy with. I’ll definitely move on to the next book in Morgana Best’s series and probably the same with the Witcher series.
Until next time, thank you for reading.
