I had, for me, a relatively light reading week. Mostly because of a dumb game on my phone I've been playing a lot, and because sick!brain has been struggling to focus on words.

1. What are you currently reading?

only my continuing, slow plod through 盗墓笔记 vol. 2. I'm almost halfway!

2. What have you recently finished reading?

• I had an extremely rare (for me) DNF - I think the first DNF since I started doing these weekly check-ins. It was Apothecary Diaries vol. 5 by Natsu Hyuuga. I was struggling to maintain my interest anyway, and then the last chapter I read was just so unpleasant that I decided no future chapter would possibly be engaging enough to make up for it, and I put it down, returned it to the library, and I'm done. I've tried so hard to enjoy this series, and to figure out why everyone else seems to like it so much, but I'm just baffled. It's not for me. Oh well. That was last night so I haven't started a new novel yet.
• The Beauty's Blade by Feng Ren Zuo Shu: it kinda picked up the last 100 pages? And then the pacing fell off a cliff the last ten pages. Oh well. That sure was a book.
• Yona of the Dawn vol. 28 by Mizuho Kusanagi
• Daybreak vol. 2 by Moosopp: this was exactly as fluffy, sweet, and lowstakes as I'd hoped it would be.
• A Gentle Noble's Vacation Recommendation manga vol. 5 by Misaki: yeah I love them.
• Yellow omnibus vol. 1 and 2 by Makoto Tateno: holy early oughts yaoi tropes batman.
• Dan of Green Gables by Rey Terceiro: speaking of pacing in the end of things fall off a cliff, what a terrible last few pages of an otherwise good book.
• Just Like Mona Lisa vol. 3 by Tsumiji Yoshimura
• Kaiju No. 8 vol. 15 by Naoya Matsumoto: KAIJU ORIGIN STORY WUT??? This volume was so good omg. I want the next right now

3. What will you be reading next?

Novels: Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

Physical graphic novels from the library: Pizza Witch by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins

E-Book graphics novels via Libby: nothing I have is due in the next 7 days so idk, whatever I feel like I guess.
