Took the kids to the bookstore today. They got some books, and so did I 😬

Hell‘s Paradise, volume 3-4

Way of the House Husband, volume 2 (from my TBR pile)
Such a simple and hilarious read! Also…I somehow have TWO copies of this volume??!! I‘m fuzzy as to how this happened 🤔 Most likely ordered twice without realizing, and then too lazy to return? Yes, most likely 🙄😆

Devils‘ Line, volume 5 (from my TBR pile)
Been a while since I last read this series 😆 Had to do a bit of recalling to catch myself up to the story. Will probably need to flip through some previous volumes later. Overall enjoyed this read. Nice seeing the main and side characters again. But that backstory in this volume….😭

#manga #devilsline #tbr

Witch Hat Atelier, vol 1
Decided to pull this one from my TBR pile and read it! I have SO been missing out! Should have read it a long time ago. Loving the artwork and story! Why did it take me so long to read it 😆 #manga #witchhatatelier

*sighs….

Placed the order for Dandadan volume 1 back in October for a November arrival. But looks to be delayed until December 😭

#manga #dandadan #delayedorder

Books I‘ve finished reading - a few from my TBR pile and some recently purchased 👍

TBR pile:
Sorry for my Familiar, vol 5
Natsume Book of Friends, vol 29 - this series is such a relaxing read that (even at 29 volumes) I don‘t want it to end ❤️

New Purchase:
Marriage Toxin, vol 1 - been reading online, now adding the physical
Sakamoto Days, vol 1-3 - this series is pretty funny 😆

You and I are Polar Opposites, Chapter 5

Turn of phrase. Let me say that there are still a few expressions that confuse me 😆

#youandiarepolaropposites #manga #shoujo

One Piece, Chapter 1125

Let‘s just say the boss was quite disappointed 😅

As a boss myself, I would never (I think) zap my staff into a pile of bones. But, who knows!? 🤪

#onepiece #manga #bosslife

The kids are doing the One School One Book this year, and this is the book! Started reading to them the other day. So far, pretty good 👍 #oneschoolonebook #awolfcalledwander

My book purchase today while waiting for the tea shop to 📖 🧋☺️ #mastersofdeath

Snowy day means reading day ❤️❤️❤️

Apothecary Diaries, vol 1: love, love, loved it! I‘m a pharmacist and the main character is an apothecary (aka pharmacist). Great story and artwork! Check out the anime too - so good! A definite addition to my library 📚

Noragami, vol 26: omg!!! Only 1 more volume before series end!!!!

D. Gray-Man, vol 28: very slow releases, but still good.

#manga #apothecary #apothecarydiaries #dgrayman #comics #noragami

Golden Kamuy, volume 10-11
I forget how much this series is both entertaining and educational. I‘m also half way through the English releases 😆 So many volumes to get caught up on!

#goldenkamuy #manga

D. Gray-Man, volume 24-27

Finally read these four volumes at once! It‘s only been since 2004 that we‘re finally getting answers to some very big plot questions. I‘ve pre-ordered volume 28. Sadly volume 29 probably won‘t get released until 2025 😩

#dgrayman #manga

Henry Heckelbeck, volume 9
Currently reading this to my boy and girl before they go to bed. We‘re about halfway through the book and (like main characters) are wondering about a possible sighting of…an alien at the space center 😆 To be continued tomorrow evening 👍

#henryheckelbeck #kidsbooks #momlife

Overlord, volume 1

Reading manga on my Kindle while Alaskan Cruising. Brr…

Wow. What a story.

SPYxFAMILY, vol 3. This is such a fun and adorable series!

Blue Exoricist, vol 25. Time for the big reveal!!!

Devil‘s Line, vol 6. What gonna happen!?!

#manga #spyxfamily #blueexorcist #devilsline

Ascender, volume 2

This series (and I include this with Descender) is definitely one of my favorite science fiction comics. So good 👍 Love following the new characters, and also learning more about the old characters ❤️ Can‘t wait for volume 3!

#ascender #descender #comics #graphicnovels #comic #graphicnovel #sciencefiction #scifi

Blue Exorcist, volumes 23-24

I actually finished these two volumes a while back - and they great! The end of volume 24 definitely left readers wanting more. So, I went online and read it! I was too impatient 😆 And let me say it was good! I still plan on collecting the the rest of the physical volumes of course 👍

#blueexorcist #manga

Devils Line, volumes 4-5

I still think this series a true and good combination of romance, supernatural and suspense! Gotta remind myself to order the next several volumes 👍

❤️🧛 👮‍♀️

Natsume‘s Book of Friends, volume 24

It‘s been a long time since I last read manga and posted to Litsy 😆 I‘m glad I chose this book!

Reading Natsume is always relaxing, especially on a gray and drizzly day such as today. I also enjoyed this volume because reader gets to learn more about Natsume‘s friends - which is nice 👍

8 Little Planets 🪐

This was quite the fun and colorful read 👍 My girl approved ❤️

#momlife #8littleplanets #babybook #toddler

The pediatrician‘s office gave the missy a book when I brought her in for the WellChild check up 😊 I love it when they do that! And boy! She totally loved the bright colors in this book 📚 ❤️

#momlife #baby #babybooks #boardbooks

Here‘s the finished manga library in the new house 👍 BUT...I think I just found another box of manga that didn‘t get unpacked. I am unsure how the additional books are gonna fit 😑 Spacing is more limited in this house than the previous 😔 *sighs...

#manga #library #mangalibrary

Finally moved into the new house! The siblings are helping to set up the new manga library. Sadly, ALL will not fit 😑 Trying to figure out what to do with the rest 🤔

Never too young for books! 👶 ❤️ 📚 👍

Ascender, volume 1

The wait is over! It‘s here! It‘s here! I can finally continue the story post-Descender 😁😁😁

How exciting!

Kakuriyo: B&B for Spirits, vol 1

I remember watching the anime a while back and enjoyed the story. So when the manga was released, of course I had to collect it 😉

This series is about a girl was taken away to the spirit realm as a debt-payment owed by her grandfather. To pay it off, she works at a shop preparing food for various spirits who stop by. 😲😆

Simple and relaxing read. Can‘t wait for more!

#kakuriyo #manga

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, vol 2-16, Chapters 143-169 (via MangaRock)

Oh, so good 👍 Despite having read volume 2 and beyond online & free, I‘ve enjoyed this series so much that I plan on purchasing and adding it to my manga library at home 😊

If you enjoy action/adventure with strong family bonds and friendship, then read this series 😉 The anime is also currently airing 👍

#demonslayer #manga #mangarock #siblingbonds

Has anyone read a graphic novel series called Y: The Last Man? I haven‘t. My husband has the complete series hanging out in the bookshelf. Maybe I should read it sometime? 🤔

#ythelastman #graphicnovels #comics

Demon Slayer, vol 1 (vol 2-8, via MangaRock)

Tanjiro‘s family was killed by demons, leaving behind a surviving sister who‘s become a demon but without their malicious intents. Tanjiro decides to train as a demon hunter while on the search to finding a way to make his sister human again. He‘s also a gentle soul who changes the lives of others during his journey 😊

And I love it! This is seriously becoming a favorite for me 👍

#demonslayer #manga

Golden Kamuy, vol 10

Another entertaining and educational volume 👍 I should try watching the anime series one of these days 😉

#goldenkamuy #manga #ainu

Spy x Family, Chapters 2-10 (MangaRock, MangaPlus)

OMGosh, I am so loving and enjoying this series so much!

I also discovered that readers can access this (and a bunch of other Shueisha titles) via MangaPlus app - the official reader for Shueisha, Inc (they‘re simultaneously releasing chapters from selected titles at the same time as in Japan 😲, and free too!).

I highly suggest reading this series 👍

#spyxfamily #manga #mangaplus #mangarock

Spy x Family, chapter 1 (via MangaRock)

I just started this new series online and already love it! It‘s funny and pretty cute. It‘s about a master spy who has to go under cover with an under cover “mom and kid.” The “family” dynamics crack me up 😂 It‘s a newer series from Japan, and I hope that translations keep coming 👍

#spyxfamily #manga #mangarock

Devils‘ Line, vol 4

Traitors!!! Other than that, good to see our main characters are officially together 😊❤️👍

#devilsline #manga

Golden Kamuy, vol 9

It was nice to learn more about Shirashi‘s background - the guy is such a goof 😂

#goldenkamuy #manga

Food Wars!, volume 23

It‘s been a while since I last read this series - glad to have picked it up again. I enjoyed learning about Soma‘s dad in this volume (it ONLY took 23 books to find out more about this mysterious person 😆). Gotta order vol 24 next!

#foodwars #manga

Birthright, volume 2

Two things: I‘m glad the mom finally came to her senses, and I‘m curious to learn about Mikey‘s true intentions 🤔 Overall a good volume.

Like Papergirls, I also read somewhere that this series will be adapted into a live action show. We. Shall. See. 😆....if so, then it‘d be really really cool!!

#birthright #comics #graphicnovels

Wayward, volume 4

This was a pretty good volume! I enjoyed learning more about Rori‘s Irish heritage (her dad) and especially about the Celtic folklore and supernatural creatures - a nice separation from the Japanese folklore and creatures from the first three volumes. I‘m curious if the series will include other cultural folklores later on. I‘m excited for the next volume now 😉

#wayward #comics #graphicnovels #folklore #supernatural

Ooo, how exciting! I‘m curious to see how the live-adaptation of this strange strange series turns out 🤔
