Book Review: Beautiful Owls by Marianne Taylor

Can't say I've read a lot of books about owls, but they do speak to me from time to time. Here's a non-fiction I picked up about them.

More animal non-fiction, of course.

Book Review: Fire Girl by Dirk Bracke

 

 Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Vuurmeisje.

Another prehistoric ice age human book, because I thought it'd be interesting to read more of those outside of Earth's Children. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Island of Shadows by Erin Hunter (Seekers: Return to the Wild #1)

 

I've tackled arc one, so let's jump over to the second arc. Will it reach the same highs as the first? Or reach a few lows like other Erin Hunter books? Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Man Who Lives with Wolves by Shaun Ellis

 

Yeah, as a certified Wolf Book Reviewer I had to cover one of Ellis' works eventually. He's a bit...(in)famous in the "wolf community".

Book Review: Twelve and the Frozen Forest by Aisling Fowler (Fireborn #1)

 

"Don't judge a book by the cover", they say. Well, true, but I sometimes pick up a book just because the cover looks cool, anyways. It is a big factor in drawing me in. So let's have a look at this one. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Shadow of the Lion by Linda Dielemans

 

 Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Schaduw van de leeuw.

I do really like reading some prehistoric fiction from time to time. I find it to be a very interesting time period and I wish I read more about it before. So why not do that now. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Viper's Daughter by Michelle Paver (Chronicles of Ancient Darkness #7)

 

BAM, here we are. It has been a while since we last visited the prehistoric world of Torak, Wolf and Renn, but at long last we return. Originally this book series spanned only six books (which I have all reviewed on this blog already), however in more recent years three more extra have been published in the series. Unfortunately it looks like the recent books will not be getting a Dutch translation (since I initially collected the Dutch hardcover editions), so I'll just have to make do with the English ebooks instead. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Outsiders by Michelle Paver (Gods and Warriors #1)

 

Another series by Michelle Paver. As you probably know if you've been following this blog for a while, I'm a huge fan of what I've read of her Wolf Brother series so far! So I was excited to see she wrote another, this time set in ancient Greece in the Bronze Age. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Waya and the Wolf by Jonne Kramer

 

Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Waya en de wolf.

A neat little Inuit-inspired story about a boy and his wolf going on an epic journey. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Valkyrie by Inge Pietjouw

 

 Note: The title of this book has been translated into English by me for the reading comprehension of this blog's viewers as the book itself isn't available in English (yet). The original title reads Valkyrja.

Another one of Pietjouw's Viking-inspired fantasy books, though this one isn't directly a part of the Dreamwalker series! Rather, it's a separate standalone prequel that takes place in the same universe. Spoilers ahead!

The final book in the duology! Spoilers ahead!

Book Review: Wolves by Dan Greenberg (Animals, Animals)

 

Okay so a while back I started my ridiculous quest to read every wolf-related book I can get my hands on at the local library. This led to me reading a lot of books about them, including quite a few non-fictions for younger readers. And I think (key word being "think)" that this is about the last one of those I can read until the library adds more to their collection. I've searched their catalog of wolf non-fiction and this is about the last I haven't yet read I can find on there. So let's have a look.
