Hi all! Continues to be a bit of a tough time for me (re: my grandmother’s death as discussed last week), but I do have an extension on my assignments now, which helps a bit. And I got out to the library this week, which is always nice.
Acquired this week
As I said, I got down to the library, so I got a bunch of books out as usual (including my hold).
A bit of a weird mix perhaps, but you’re used to that from me.
I did also pop into my local indie bookshop, because indies need our love. I found a couple of options, but picked the first volume of the Solo Levelling manhwa in the end, as someone I know is a big fan.
Posts from this week
Let’s have a bit of a roundup, as usual!
- Fantasy manga: A Gentle Noble’s Vacation Recommendation, vol 2, by Misaki, Momochi & Sando (4/5 stars)

What I’m reading
I did quite a bit of reading earlier this week, and then stalled out again. Ah well; that’s what my brain does when stressed. Let’s have a look at what I finished:
As for this weekend, I’m trying to settle down with Carter Dickson’s The Ten Teacups, and other than that I’m not sure. Might be some time for some manga/manhwa, if my attention span’s that bad.
As with last week, I might be a little slow to reply/visit back, but I’ll do my best!
Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz, as usual!
These books are all new to me. I’ll check to see what they’re about.
