Dec. 11th, 2024 09:48 am1. What are you currently reading?
I'm making slow progress on Delta of Venus by Anais Nin but progress is progress! I'm about 60% done, I think there are like 5 short stories left?
I'm also about a third of the way into The Apothecary Diaries vol. 2.
2. What have you recently finished reading?
I spent a lot of the last week running around, esp going places with my kids, which was NOT conducive to carrying around a paperback that says EROTICA in big bold letters on the cover, but was conducive to reading manga on my phone.
Graphic Novels
- Haikyu vol. 15 by Haruichi Furudate
- Between the Pipes by Albert McLeod, Elaine Mordoch, Sonya Ballantyne, and Alice RL (modern, indigenous characters, queer characters): short and hopeful story about a young gay First Nations (I think it was specified as First Nations? I might not have been ) hockey player who is dealing with homophobia and toxic masculinity on his team finding acceptance from his family and two-spirit mentor.
- Cut-Over Criteria by Koala Omugi (modern BL): porny single-volume modern age difference BL about an new employee and his boss (new employee is the pursuing party). Fine for what it is.
- Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation manhua vol. 8 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu
- Spy x Family vol. 2 by Tatsuya Endo
- Dungeon Meshi vol. 3 and 4 by Ryoko Kui: definitely glad to see this at the library. Am surprised that Falin is back and looks human? when does she become the weird harpy monster I keep seeing fanart of?
- The Apothecary Diaries vol. 1 by Natsu Hyuuga: borrowed 11 volumes from tryslora, am trying to get through them and the other books I've borrowed from her by the end of the year. I like it so far, am looking forward to seeing how it develops over time.
3. What will you be reading next?
I've got through vol. 11 of The Apothecary Diaries and I want to return them, so I expect to power through those in the next week+. My Libby loan of the next volume of My Hero Academia will also be coming due before next Wednesday. For books, after I finish Delta of Venus, the seventh volume of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat and the third volume of The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish by Xue Shan Fei Hu. So much to read, so little time, or something.
