Brief Description: This is a review blog of sorts, reviewing mainly books but includes reviews of other forms of media like film, TV, plays/musicals, and music. I am perpetually curious and interested in reading anything and create diversity in choice of books. With this blog, I hope to help on encouraging others to read and give recommendations for them as well. I also want to support Filipino authors by starting to read and review their work.

Dark Chest of Wonders

Blog name: Dark Chest of Wonders

Blog URL: http://darchwonders.wordpress.com/

Location: Manila, Philippines

Brief Description: Dark Chest of Wonders is a book blog maintained by a restless, soul in limbo who goes by the weird name of jzhunagev. This gloomy alley is where he mostly rant and rave about books that delighted him, moved him, disturbed him, angered him, provoked him, mocked him, taunted him, and shattered and exploded his brain into smithereens, the books he hoards, his odd reading quirks and pretty much just about any stuff that preoccupies him.

About jzhunagev: Hi! I’m jzhunagev! Reading books is my life and I have always been entranced by the power of words. I love the pull of a good, well drawn story, regardless of what age it is written for, no matter what genre it belongs, whether it’s fiction or not, whether it’s written in ink on paper or pixels on screen, or as a limerick. If it reaches for utter humanity, in jest or in earnest, I’m going to like it.
