2009 – Digital, or Brevis Est, modern take of “world power” seduction theme, second in associative “Metamorphosis” cycle. Authors Marina and Sergey Dyachenko .
I read this book in one sitting, but it was probably five years ago. A light fantasy book with elements of the matrix of this world, that th...

I recently read The Fatal Stillness of the Sun by Benjamin Weberink, and I can’t stop thinking about it. This book is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of grief, addiction, and redemption that feels both deeply personal and incredibly relevant to the times we’re living in. Benjamin’s raw, evocative...

I think I am falling in love with ebooks especially the perfect secret love; the bad new wife is a little sweet by author Jiong Jiong You Yao. Ebooks might not be for everyone but this specific one really converted my thoughts. It talks deeply about growing up with filmmaking ambitions, challenges i...

Beautifully crafted handbook on film noir, with almost 700 pages detailing common themes from popular film noir classics, tons of movie stills, and concludes with TASCHEN’s top 50 film noir picks.
I’m an Indie Filmmaker and voracious reader to improve as a filmmaker and I’m currently developing a fil...

I'm revisiting books I read in college. Just before picking up this book again, I had reread (for the hundredth time) Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway" -- only to say, I find similarities in the wonderful humor of these authors!
In "A View of the Harbour," all the characters have ideas about one an...

I’m not usually one for high fantasy but I love this one with its theater centric plot and incredibly complicated and nuanced characters
As a film composer trained in classical violin I have always been obsessed with the story of the foundling girls in Venice that Vivaldi wrote The Four Seasons for. They were abandoned children raised by the church who were trained to be virtuoso musicians.
This book is a historical fiction about them...

Picked book cos missed the lecture on it at university. Meaty prose opposed to minimum expletives of shorter sentences in recent modern fiction. Follows inner workings of protagonist’s mind in a bonkas sadistic dystopian society & smacks of sinister warnings for the future. Author highlights things...

I recently read Down and Out in Paris and London, which I definitely recommend. All about Orwell struggling to get by in those cities during the Depression. For all that, we see a quite funny side of Orwell and his writing.
Debbie Croysdale On that Note- If you look for similarities you can see this one is a current event.

@Simon Thanks for info on Animal Farm. @Malcolm Thanks for info on Down and Out in Paris and London. I've got those two titles on my must read list!
Great review, Debbie, I really enjoyed it. Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm were life-perspective changing books for me. Those, along with Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451...
A great book. I read it when bed-ridden with a flu and I think it made my flu last longer.
Neither Animal Farm nor Brave New World are much more hopeful, but Fahrenheit 451 ends with a tinge of hope.
Hi, creative community and book lovers! Hope everyone’s having a wonderful week! What’s on your fall reading list? I’d love to hear your recommendations!
My husband and I listened to that audiobook on a road trip last year, Suzanne Bronson! It made us laugh a lot. We really enjoyed it!
Last book I read was The Book of Elsewhere a one off by China Mieville who played in the sandbox of Keanu Reeves' imagination. The novel crosses multiple genres among them science fiction, military th...

That sounds awesome, Annie Marie Burdeos! I've never read China Mieville's work before. I'll have to check it out!
Screenplays! Just read Godzilla (2014), so now:

Bang-bang-boom. Going through an action-phase but oddly enough I'm currently writing a dr...

I love group pages like this but can't join in, only watch from the sidelines... (sigh!). I write books therefore don't read as many as I'd like due to time and fear of copyright/idea stealing. Keep reading folks, a good book is good for the soul. A big thank you from Authors ✨️ .... still jealous! ✨️

I started reading Eragon because my son was reading it and he wanted to discuss it with me. I really did not want to read it on account that I have so many other books to get through, but I'm finding it really well done, and I actually like the author's writing style more than I like most other fant...

I never read this series, but I remember when all of my friends did and loved it. I'll have to go back and read it someday!
I just finished Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash, then started the sequel A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire. This series has been recommended to me a lot over the last few years and I know that its popularity led to a spin-off prequel book series that is concluding with a final book this fall,...

I haven't read this but I love the cover art.
All of the covers in this series are gorgeous, Lark Anderson! This is the cover for the sequel that I'm reading now-
Ashley Renee Smith gorgeous! I am a pro at Photoshop but I don’t have the vision and I’d never think to make this.
