Time to begin my irregularly scheduled full-series SKIP BEAT! reread! I dunno if I‘ll finish before the next volume drops in November, but even if I can‘t make that target I‘m gonna have an awesome time immersing myself in my favourite comic.

Cheshirecat913 Yes!! I love Skip Beat! 💓 I have taken a break from reading the newest volumes when they come out because I was dying from the lack of forward process. I am due for a reread soon. 2y
xicanti @Cheshirecat913 ooh, you‘re in for some major progress when you catch up! I feel like we‘re in the homestretch now. 2y
Cheshirecat913 That is quite exciting! It is one of my favorite reread, always makes me laugh too. 2y
xicanti @Cheshirecat913 this is the sixth time I‘ve read these early volumes, and they‘ve still got me chuckling away! 2y

Pickpick

#inspiredbylitsy (since I've decided I don't like the negative vibe I get for myself when I say #blameitonlitsy) and @xicanti.

For me this first volume is a pick on the so-so end of the spectrum, but sometimes the first volume of a #manga can be that way. I love the determination of the main character and I'm already in love with the president of the agency. I had several laugh-out-loud moments. I'll definitely read the next two volumes.

xicanti Lory is fabulous! I think he might be the most flamboyant character in all of fiction. I wasn‘t initially hooked by this first volume, either, but the next two pulled me in. Nakamura‘s layered approach pays off in a big way as everything rolls along, too. 5y
Sace @xicanti I loved him in the second volume too. I think I'm getting used to the writing maybe? I've been reading more straightfoward manga with fewer asides and thoughts so sometimes I'm having trouble following who is saying/thinking what. Does that make sense? 5y
xicanti @Sace definitely. This last reread really hammered home for me that SKIP BEAT! is a hard manga. Nakamura often juggles three or four narrative streams at once, between the dialogue, the characters‘ surface thoughts, and their deeper observations. It takes a bit to get used to. 5y
Sace @xicanti that makes me feel better. I might give it more that 3 volumes. 5y

Presenting my September spending log, plus my third quarter total. I'm pleased to report I promptly read all but one of the books I bought last month, and I started the straggler this morning so it'll get its checkmark soon.

So far as quarterly spending goes, I shelled out less than I did in the first quarter but more than I did in the second. Last month's TREMONTAINE season pass skewed things a bit, but my sad Book Market haul balanced it out.
