I paused with #BookishMonopoly for a couple of months, because I landed on "e-book" and I had a certain one in mind. But I never got around to read that 700 pages chunkster, so I move on and decided to go with SpyxFamily instead ? Just got volume 2 and will rather read this, than waiting for another two months...

pickNow I'm also joining the club, after everyone has told me how awesome this series is. And I wouldn't have read it if it wasn't for @VaniBarelyReads ❤
But yeah, what else should I say that hasn't already been said? That I like some of the Italian translations better than the English ones? 😁 Perfect reading material after a long day at work.
My youngest son, Patrick suggested this magna series to me. I am trying to read more books in this genre and this first book didn‘t disappoint.
Book 190 of the year.
pickI honestly don't know how to rate this one. It was wild from start to finish. I can't tell if I loved every second or if I found it absolutely ridiculous. Maybe it's a little bit of both. It was definitely fun. I also plan to continue reading the series, so I must have enjoyed it.
pick5/5🌟 - I recently started this series (currently reading vol 5) and it is so adorable! The Forger family is so cute together and I can‘t wait for them all to realize they love each other and are the perfect family. I am devouring this series and I am already dreading the hang over that hits when I catch up to the current volume.
pickBook no.8
What an amazing , fun,and action filled first volume!
Right from the first few pages I was intrigued by Twilight, loved Anya's spirit and fell for Yor.
Endo went straight into the story with little fuss but in a great and fun way of letting the action depict more of who they are through facial expressions and body language.
Loved this first volume a lot and I can't wait to jump into the next one!
pickI‘m a huge fan of the show so there was little chance going in that I wouldn‘t love this. And what‘s not to love? A spy needs to marry & have a child for his next mission—perhaps the most dangerous, important yet. And so he does, little knowing that the child he picks is a telepath, the woman he marries is an assassin. Yep, a secret mission, a marriage/family of convenience, & three people hiding important secrets from each other. So fun!!!
pickI started watching the anime and had to pick up the manga! These stories just feel like a warm hug and a great pick-me-up.
pickThis was a great deal of fun! No wonder there was such a long holds list for it at the library. Looking forward to Vol. 2!
pickFinished my first manga, and it won‘t be my last. Confession: In the beginning it was weird to read a book the wrong way, but I got used to it
This vol‘s about a spy that‘s told that he need to infiltrate a prestigious school. So he has to adopt a child, and it turns out she can read minds. When the school want to interview both parents, he needs to find a wife as well. She turns out to be an assassin.
pickWelcome to my #Manga era. 😅 I‘ve resisted for years, decades, really. Because, I knew it would be such an expensive hobby. But I just couldn‘t resist any longer. 📚 I‘ve already picked up several series or parts of series. And they are giving me all the joy! I read the first three #SpyXFamily volumes and it‘s just so cute! 🥰 I feel like graphic novels and manga are a great way to switch up my reading pace and help me to avoid the dreaded #Slump
pickHilarious, adorable, a heartwarming sort of ridiculous, with a fair amount of violence and heteronormativity mixed in. Now to see how long that hold list at the library is for the second volume! 😩
Ah, yes, teaching family values, like thrift! 🤦🏼♂️
pickVery cute. Manga is a good exercise for my brain. Lol I turned the page the wrong way a couple of times.
pickThis was my first ever manga and it was hilarious and well written. Twilight is a spy whose latest mission is to find a fake family to help him infiltrate a school. What he doesn't know is that the child he adopted is a telepath and his new wife is an assassin. He finds it increasingly difficult to balance his mission and his new family.
This was my #doublespin for Feb @TheAromaofBooks
Adding to my #SeriesLove2023 list @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
pickAwe this one was fun. I loved little Anya. Another one I can now understand it‘s popularity. Fast with great characters.
Welcome to Hour 15 of the #ReverseReadathon! How‘s everybody doing? I took my stack outside for a little while, but after weeks of heat we‘ve got a relatively cold day today (21°C and cloudy) and I got too shivery! Back inside I go.
pickA spy thriller where each of the three main characters must not only hide who they really are from the world, but also from each other as they pretend to be a family. The tension of not wanting to be found out plays nicely with the characters desire to be known and understood by someone. A wonderful beginning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Promised a friend I‘d check this out, and figured there‘s no time like the present. Reading right-to-left is a bit challenging though.
Excited to read this one! I have an extreme book hangover from reading “Credence” and I think this will help 🤓
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My first five star read for the year! This was cute and adorable in the most action-packed way!
Currently reading this series and have up to book 5!
Spy X Family is hilarious, and has bad ass fighting. I wonder how things will go when everyone has a secret 🤫
pickI loved this. It was a quick read with a clever storyline, and it was fun - literally laugh out loud funny. This was absolutely what I needed right now and I already broke my no-spending challenge on day 1 because I had to have the rest. Of course, they are sold out everywhere, so I grabbed Vol 2 on Kindle and will see how that works. I may grab the others on there, too, while I wait for physical copies.
Thanks to @Matilda and her Book Riot Unusual Suspects newsletter, I learned that spy manga exists. Y‘all know I can‘t resist a good spy story and I like how manga works my brain since it‘s read right to left. I have other things I should be reading. If you need me, I‘ll be on my deck reading this…

P.S. If you like mysteries/crime/thrillers - Jamie‘s newsletter is awesome and you should totally subscribe. 😍
pickI was SO very wrong about manga not being for me and now I‘m obsessed.
Booktok whispered to me that I needed to read this one - and the fact that volume one was hard to find just made it all the more exciting when it finally arrived!
pick(The rest of the sentence is:) “...maintains its thin veneer of peace.” My husband started reading this manga series first, and then recommended them to me. I just read the first. The man is a spy and must have a family for a mission, but they turn out to have their own secret identities. His new daughter is a telepath and his new wife is an assassin. I love that they all need each other in very different ways and are clearly not what they seem.
My first #manga 🙌 After getting accustomed to reading from right to left, I had a blast with every moment of this endearing spy comedy. Highly recommend!
