Update I fucked up. In early November 2024, I decided to close down my self-hosted site, moonlightlibrary.com. What I didn't realise though, was that coming back to my original free WordPress blog http://www.moonlightlibrary.wordpress.com would destroy my direct subscribers. I exported my subscribers, so I do have the record of everyone who was subbed before I … Continue reading November Update
October Wrap Up
News I have made the difficult decision to close moonlightlibrary.com. This has not been an easy decision to make. I've been book blogging for 14 years, and reviewing under the Moonlight Library for 12. I've been self-hosting for 10 years. But all good things come to an end, and I no longer see the value … Continue reading October Wrap Up
Quitting self-hosted blogging

It’s totally natural to have those burning questions, but let’s talk about why not every nook and cranny of a world needs to be explained for the story to shine. Worldbuilding … Continue reading Authors Don’t Owe You Everything
The Ivies by Alexa Donne
I quite enjoyed The Ivies by Alexa Donne. Donne debuted as a sci-fi romance author, but it appears she has pivoted and found a niche in YA thrillers, and I for one applaud that. I love it when an author who has found moderate success in one genre pivots into another and it takes off. … Continue reading The Ivies by Alexa Donne
September Wrap Up + Stacking The Shelves
News I feel like I had a pretty damn good reading month for September after I DNF'd a book I wasn't feeling, then read another over a weekend. I read a 5 in total, including a very rare re-read. What's even more remarkable is that I re-read a book I've already read this year. That … Continue reading September Wrap Up + Stacking The Shelves
