I finished rereading all 13 volumes of Ao Haru Ride, by Io Sakisaka. Manga. Romance. On the Viz Manga app. I had no memory of this one at all and having just gone through it all I can see why. If I'd found anything better to read I wouldn't have finished it. 📚❤️🌶

I finished rereading 11 volumes of Like a Butterfly, by Suu Morishita. Manga. Romance. On the Viz Manga App. They don't have the 12th and final volume, but it is apparently just side stories, so there isn't the sense that one is missing the end. This story so so sweet 💙📚🌶

I finished reading the first 6 books of A Star Brighter Than the Sun, by Kazune Kawahara. Romance. On the Viz Manga app. They only have the first 6 books. That they insist on treating a 5'6 girl like she's a horribly massive giant is wild, but if you ignore that bit it's fine. 💙📚🌶

Screenshot of a book cover. A boy in gym clothes running passed the viewer and smiling over his shoulder. The words written are: Story & Art by Kazune Kawahara, 1, A Star Brighter Than the Sun.

I finished reading book 12 of the Black Jewels series, by Anne Bishop. Fantasy. From my own collection. This is the last book and it didn't feel like the end? It felt open to more tales. If she ever writes an other, I'll be there for it 💙📚🪐

I don't want a "Smart Fridge" that orders milk for me. I want a fridge that lasts 25 years and doesn't have a privacy policy that allows it to share my late-night snacking habits with my health insurance provider.

Finished reading book 10 of the Black Jewels series, by Anne Bishop. Fantasy. From my own collection. Someone here told me there were 3 more books to this series and I have them now and this was wonderful. It picks up right where book 9 left off despite being written so many years later 💙📚🪐

I finished reading Two Can Play, a novella by Ali Hazelwood. Romance. From the library. I had reserved this without realising it was a novella or I wouldn't have bothered. It really -is- too short. Laughed out loud a few times. The bonus chapter at the end from his perspective was fun 💙📚🌶

Lots of raspberries, cherries, and bunnies in the woods today. I snacked all the way and filled my pockets with cherries to eat later while carefully trying not to scare the bunnies

I finished rereading book 8 of the Black Jewels series, by Anne Bishop. Fantasy. From my own collection. This book concludes the story told in book 7 and 8. In some way I like this story better than the one in books 1-3. I am enjoying rereading the series and will soon start on the next book 💙📚🪐

Finished rereading book 7 of the Black Jewels series, by Anne Bishop. Fantasy. From my own collection. This book and the next one focus on a different set of characters with plenty of peeks at the original cast. I always really like this one ad the next one as they are a pair 🪐📚💙
