April 2020 Wrap up

This month was a very good reading month. I did better than what I expected, I had given up powering through and get through more than 12 books. I had a little slump last couple of weeks in winter. 

 Let's take a look at what we had this month.









As I said I did better than what I thought.

Complete tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe

Castle books Introduction by Wilbur S. Scott So in my try to incorporate on my readings more classics I bought the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe because I have always enjoyed reading his work. But it isn't as nice as I had imagined becuase well the lovely Poe uses a complex language and the font  of the book is super small. I managed to read only: The Unparalleled Adventure of one Hans Pfall The balloon hoax Mesmeric Revelation Ms. Found in a bottle A descent into the Maelstorm Von Kempelen and his discovery The gold bug The facts in the case of M. Valdemar The 1002 tale of Scheherazade The Murders in the Rue Morgue The mystery of Marie Roget The fall of the house of Usher The purloined letter The tell-tale heart The Black cat So yeah I did not get through many yet.

5 star prediction

Image
So I am taking a look in the books I have in my owned TBR and do a prediction on those I will love. The fantasy I have a lot of faith in The way of kings by Brandon Sanderson. An epic fantasy story people have been hyping it so much that I have big expectations. From the book description, I get nothing other than it is full of magical fights. Children of time by Adrian Tchaikovsky a sci-fi. The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age—a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. They have to fight for the planet, who will win? That just sounds ...

Danse Macabre- DNFed

  Author: Stephen King Genre: NonFiction Original Publication date: 1981 Book description(I read this only after DNFing the book):   From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers and the creator of many unforgettable movies comes a vivid, intelligent, and nostalgic journey through three decades of horror as experienced through the eyes of the most popular writer in the genre. In 1981, years before he sat down to tackle On Writing, Stephen King decided to address the topic of what makes horror horrifying and what makes terror terrifying. Here, in ten brilliantly written chapters, King delivers one colorful observation after another about the great stories, books, and films that comprise the horror genre—from Frankenstein and Dracula to The Exorcist, The Twilight Zone, and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. Thoughts: This is an interesting book, but you need to understand that a lot of references are very particular and for the most part I was unfamiliar with what it was...
