Reading Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan

 

Hello Bookies,

I meant to read this book sooner. In all honesty, I wanted to have had this book done before it came out on November 18th, but life didn't go as planned. I worked hard and try to read my library books before they had to go back. Also fighting colds and infections isn't something you want to read with. Anyway I started the book officially a few days ago. I've been so excited to read this book and it isn't starting at slow as the first book did. The book is in three parts again. I'm wondering if we are going to get a slow beginning again, an okay middle, and the final part being the one that makes you refuse to put the book down. If that is the case, I'm already drawn into the book. Especially when a man who isn't who he says he is shows up and Xingyin's home. I literally just started and I'm already asking questions. Who is this guy? What does he want? Why is he after the seeds of this one tree? What use does he have for it? What will happen next? So many questions and so much to still read. I'll try to post when I'm finished with part one. Unless the book has me hooked, then you'll just have to wait for the end.

So until next time....

Manga Post #30?

 Hey there Bookies,

It's been a while since I wrote a post about manga. I figured I would get back into it after so long. The first one I read since my reading hiatus was Komi Can't Communicate. Not much goes on in the volume but I didn't expect much since it is the first one. All I know about this series is that it was recommended to me through a Youtube video and that the main character can't speak. Since I read this volume, I get an idea as to why our main character Komi can't talk. She has a disorder that keeps her from talking. She gets so nervous that she can't talk because she is too scared to. I think this story is cute to see fellow classmates trying to help Komi in their own way. Also they are all helping her achieve the goal she put up for herself. That goal being that she wants to have 100 friends. She wants to change and she tries to work at it. It's good that she has some friends that understand her enough to figure out what she is trying to say. I find this series pretty cute so far. I've already requested the second volume from the library and I'm ready to continue the adventure. 

So until next time....

Downside to Being Sick

 Hey there Bookies,

Remember when I was sick for a really long time and I didn't get any reading done? Well it turns out that during that time my library books ended up being due, so I had to return them all. Hopefully I recorded the correct pages that I left off in some books. If not, I guess I'll be restarting the book or hunting down where I left off. Both don't sound fun. Anyway, I'll try to request them from the library when I can. I have too many holds at the moment and I figured I'll only request one book at a time because I still get sick every once in a while. Winter is the season of colds and flu. Also getting a chest infection and recovering from it means that I'll most likely get it back if I'm not too careful. Anyways, hopefully I'll finally get caught up on reading. I really fell behind after getting sick and finding some books I just couldn't finish.

So until next time...

Started reading Firstlife by Gena Showalter

 

Hello Bookies,

I'm breaking into my stack of library books finally and I picked up Firstlife by Gena Showalter. I'm a big fan of this author and it's my goal to read all of her books. Also I skimmed through the book to see what I have a head of me and it looks like the book is written in the form of emails. Interesting take and something I've never seen before so I'm interested. I predict this will be a quick read, but it depends if I can get into it or not. The only way is to read it to find out. Wish me luck.

So until next time...

Been sick and took a small break.

 Hey there Bookies,

I haven't been around for a while and I'm sorry. I ended up getting really sick for a two weeks and I spent most of my time just sleeping when I could. It wasn't covid, luckily, but might as well been with a respiratory infection. Do not recommend. But I'm well and during that time I didn't read. I did try to read but didn't get much done. I did have to return some books including Poet X. So I'll be taking a break from Poet X until I can request it from the library again. I know I went through two months of not reading. Life has been pretty busy and I haven't found a book that really gripped me to finish reading it. I have DNF three books so far and almost a fourth. Hopefully my next book will be a winner in me finishing it. Also hopefully I can post more frequently, but so far it isn't looking good.

So until next time...
