Book Review: Into the Realm of Dreams by Chen Jiatong (Dream Keeper #1)

 

Note: This book has, at the time of publishing this review, not been translated into English (yet). I am unable to read the original Chinese release, therefore I'll be basing my review on the German edition which I read.

By the author of White Fox, this one looked very interesting to me. Bonus points for the cute cat on the cover. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Wild Boars by Geert-Jan Roebers

 

 

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 Wilde zwijnen.

I like boars, so let's read more about them!

Book Review: Birth of the Firebringer by Meredith Ann Pierce (Firebringer #1)

 

 

This one definitely looked interesting to me, and by some luck I managed to find the entire trilogy in paperback for like a tenner at a local book market. So let's take a look. Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: Tuschka by Astrid M. van Ginneken

 

   

Note: This book isn't available in English (yet).

I practically never read sea life xenofiction because, well, quite frankly, I'm just generally not that interested in it. I'm a general animal lover don't get me wong but stuff like fish, marine mammals, corals, etc. just don't really interest me that much and never have. But when I saw this book up for grabs for cheap at the local bookstore I did want to give it a read. Xenofiction is xenofiction.

Spoilers ahead.

Book Review: The Beauty of Beasts by Ralph Helfer

I've read one book by this author before, Zamba, which is about one of his most famous animal stars, a lion. When I saw this book covers generally his entire time of working with real wild animals for Hollywood, I thought it was interesting so I gave it a read.

Book Review: The Girl with Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee

 

Not the type of non-fiction I usually read, but I once saw this mentioned by a BookTuber a few years ago and ever since then I've been meaning to read it. I only found out a few weeks ago that my library actually owns a copy of the Dutch translation, so obviously I borrowed it.
