1. What are you currently reading?

​Sort of nothing. Baker Thief by Claudie Arseneault is waiting until I can re-borrow it from Libby, and I'm of course picking through 盗墓笔记 vol. 2 and I'm one day behind (I'm aiming for a page a day and I started on the 1st, but I've only finished 13 pages, mostly because I was too busy this morning and while I read MOST of a page, I didn't finish). I probably won't bother mentioning DMBJ every week considering that at this rate I'll finish in like September or October  so... yeah. 

2. What have you recently finished reading?

• Lout of Count's Family vol. 6 by Yu Ryeo-Han: unsurprisingly I motored through this. I just want Cale to collapse in a pool of his own blood once before all the volumes of the book are over. Is that too much to ask???
• Delicious in Dungeon vol. 7 to 14 by Ryoko Kui: finished my "now I own it, Imma reread" read-through. Still love it. Zero regrets on purchasing the box set, especially because once I started reading it, my daughter (who is 7) binge-watched the show, wanted more, and is now reading the manga too lol. I warned her that there's some graphic stuff in the later volumes (like [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS])
• Firefly Wedding vol. 1 by Oreco Tachibana: I have absolutely no idea how this m/f historical Japan thing ended up on my TBR? Maybe I thought it was m/m? anyway, once I had it I figured I might as well read it. It was... interesting? I'm gonna give it one more volume but I'm not terribly enthusiastic about it. It is at least more interesting than a lot of shoujo is to me these days.
• Yona of the Dawn vol. 21 by Mizuho Kusanagi
• A Tropical Fish Yearns for Snow vol. 3 by Makoto Hagino: modern gl. This volume was soooooooo slow that I'm not sure I'll keep going if the pacing doesn't pick up at least a little.
• Nirvana in Fire manhua vol. 1 and 2 by Hai Yan: I reread vol. 1 before reading vol. 2. The art continues to be lovely. I'm not sure the story would be followable to anyone not already familiar with it, tho.
• The Way of the Househusband vol. 12 by Kousuke Oono: I read these out of order cause the order doesn't matter at all; I've now read 1 to 14 and am caught up! with the next volume coming out next Tuesday, lol.

3. What will you read next?

Novels: I'm vending four days this week (Fri - Mon) and will have a fair amount of time at my booth doing nothing, so I'm gonna bring four books: The City We Make and The World We Make by N. K. Jemisin, and Don't You Like Me vol. 1 and 2 by Lv Tian Yi.

Physical graphic novels/manga: nothing from the library right now, and nothing from my own pile that I intend to read this week (next up, whenever I do it, are the four volumes of the Link Click cinemanhua.

Libby loans: I've got two due in the next week, so definitely them - Fragtime: The Complete Manga Collection by Sato and Kase-San and Yamada vol. 3 by Hiromi Takashima.

Technically, didn't he already do this the first time he used the Fire Ancient Power? But regardless, I think you will be satisfied going forward lol. Cale continues to get injured to the point someone on tumblr started tracking it, though the post is full with spoilers.
