Classic Fantasy and Stories I Want to Read

I grew up on Fantasy stories. Not so much Science Fiction (although I’m getting into it and will probably write a separate post regarding Classic Sci-Fi) because what I read as a child were folklore and fairytales. Growing up in the Philippines, some of my memories reading fantasy as a child revolves around old high……

The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan Book Review

Title: The Dragon Reborn Series: The Wheel of Time (Book 3) Author: Robert Jordan Rating: 4.5/5 stars Review: There was once a time great epic fantasy door stoppers intimidated me.

February Book Haul

I went to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale today with my family. It was the last day so there weren’t a lot of books, much less SFF books. I was lucky enough to get some Steven Erikson and Diana Gabaldon novellas, though. Too bad they didn’t have Gardens of the Moon or Outlander (they……

Currently Reading + Other Things

I’m currently reading The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. It’s the first in The Wheel of Time series which I’m currently inclined to continue. I’m really loving the book so far- I really like Robert Jordan’s writing style, the characters, and the story so far. I have no idea when I’ll finish this……

The Paper Menagerie (Ken Liu) Review

I don’t usually read short fiction but last semester, I was exposed to them through my Philippine Literature class.
