Happy weekend! Yep, it’s that time again already.

Books acquired this week

After the frenzy of Christmas, you wouldn’t think I had any more room for new books (nor my friends and family any room in their budgets), but here we are: my wife got me the next two volumes of the Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint manhwa, I assume to assuage my whining that the next light novel isn’t due out in translation until March.

I’ve read them already, so more volumes will probably be acquired soon, one way or another.

Posts from this week

As per usual, let’s do a little roundup! Reviews first:

• Romance manga: Love in the Palm of His Hand, vol 2, by Rinteku (4/5 stars, “really liked it”)
• Fantasy romance (danmei): The Disabled Tyrant’s Beloved Pet Fish, vol 3, by Xue Shan Fei Hu (4/5 stars, “really liked it”)
• Classic mystery: Still Waters, by E.C.R. Lorac (4/5 stars, “really liked it”)
• Non-fiction: Spinosaur Tales: The Biology and Ecology of the Spinosaurs, by David Hone & Mark P. Witton (4/5 stars, “really liked it”)
• Non-fiction: The Far Edges of the Known World, by Owen Rees (4/5 stars, “really liked it”)

Also as usual, these are reviews from my extensive backlog of reviews that I’ve written but not yet posted (something like 80 in the bank at the moment).

What I’m reading

Now for the preview of books I’ve read in the last week and plan to review on here! I haven’t done as much reading as I hoped, but I still made a decent start to the year!

As for this weekend, I’m not sure. More Solo Leveling, probably, and resuming reading John Rhode’s Death at Breakfast, which is a classic mystery. Other than that… who knows?

Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz.
