About the Blog

 Welcome to the Moonflower Library!



    The Moonflower Library is the perfect place for book reviews, recommendations for me or from me, and anything else book-related.
    Here, I post weekly on Saturdays containing my thoughts on a book I've read recently. I stick to no specific genre and read every type of book, including graphic novels and poetry.
    Feel free to request book reviews in the comments, chat about random book things, or anything else!

    I started this blog out of a love for reading and later discussing what I read. Unlike the majority of people, when I was in school, I loved writing essays on novels I'd read and talking with my teachers about the books we were reading in class. (Yes, I was the class nerd. It's a compliment in my book.)
    I hope you understand what I have to say about the books I post about, and that if there's a book you enjoyed that I did not, it is okay to have different opinions. I do not mind if you state your opinion, however, please don't start arguments in the comments (or in general).

    I wish you many lovely journeys ahead--whether they be through the walls of Hogwarts or the forests of District 12. Now, let's go find a nice little corner to listen to some good music and read!

Author: Sydney Lee Number of Pages: 90 Publisher: self-published Publication Date: 21 April 2023 Genre: Horror, Paranormal Age Recommendation: 13 and up My Rating: ★★★★★      Hello, everyone! I am back with another book. This book is unsettling and spooky (which I am so here for!), so grab your popcorn, hug your pillows and pets close, and let's dive straight in. Blurb      Sydney Lee's Have We Been Here Before? experiments with the many boundaries of surrealist fiction through eight imaginative stories. Each narrative offers a new perspective of the inexplicable and the absurd, from childlike uncertainty to mundane acceptance. By coupling senses of dread, excitement, and uncontained curiosity, these carefully crafted stories prompt thorough exploration of every line. My Opinion (no spoilers)     I've recently been plunging deeper into the more spooky, scary books an...

Something in the Woods  by L. Crow Morgane Title: Something in the Woods Author: L. Crow Morgane Number of Pages: 82 Publisher: self-published Publication Date: 17 April 2023 Genre: Memoir, Nonfiction Age Recommendation: 16 and up My Rating: ★★★★★     Hello, fellow book lovers! This book was recently published and I was clicking through Amazon and found this treasure of a novel. It's Something in the Woods by L. Crow Morgane. Let's get started. Blurb      Something in the Woods is a collection of short stories and personal essays about the experience of growing up queer, trans, and mentally ill in the South. It details some of the mental processes and not-so-talked-about aspects of having an identity contradictory to everything you're taught to be "normal" as a child, and how being told that you aren't normal can affect a person. Something in the Woods includes lyric essays and bizarre concepts for short stories that hit on these strange aspects. My Opin...
