The Weight of Heaven: A Novel by Thrity Umrigar

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
The first thing to realize about Jones’s books is that they’re actually quite hard to understand. Every time I re-read her books, I’d find out something new which I had missed before. Therefore, it is important to read her books ‘carefully’.
About Howl’s Moving Castle, I’m sure some of you …

Kiki Strike, a novel by Kirsten Miller
First of all, I feel a little bit cheated when I first read this book. I thought I would read some chicklit, but instead of that, it is a teen lit. I blamed the cover because of the gloomy and dark design of the cover made me thought so. …

The Beast of Noor by Janet Lee Carey

Waltz with a Black Cat manga
Waltz with a Black Cat isn’t the usual yaoi manga where the manga is focused on the love making scenes. Made by Homerun Ken, the manga maybe yaoi but certainly worthy of reading because of the mixed genres- comedy, drama, and romance that blends well together.
Hirose throws a …
