Glass Houses by Rachel Caine My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this read. I definitely was the change I was looking for. The bullying/hazing scenes were almost too much for me, but there shouldn't be any more of that going forward. This book does leave off on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm looking forward to what the next installment brings. View all my reviews

I'm sharing with you my very first Manga Collection video! This series of videos includes what I had in my collection as of December 31, 2020. I have no idea how many volumes I have, but am counting along the way. Will let you know at the end how many I have. I believe it will take 3 videos to encompass my entire collection, so stay tuned for Part 2! Have you read any of these titles? Are there any that you think I should pick up right away?

Silent Night, Deadly Night by Vicki Delany My rating: 4 of 5 stars Read for #Book1CoziesClubBonus As usual, I got a late start on this seasonal read but still really enjoyed it. It was nice to have more of a focus on Merry's parents. While we do see them quite a bit in this series, I feel like we really didn't get to know Merry's mother until this volume. There are definitely characters in this town that have worn on me as the series goes on, but I still find it nice to visit this town every year and see what everyone is up to. Can't wait to see what the next installment holds! View all my reviews

  I'm sharing my December Manga Haul plus an anime DVD, and a couple Funko Pops I received for Christmas in this one. Since we've completed another year, maybe a manga collection video might be in order? Let me know if you'd be interested in that!

Welcome to my first Manga Series Sampler video! These videos are just like my Series First Impressions videos where I tell you my thoughts on the series and whether or not I will be continuing it. The only difference is that I will talk about the first three volumes instead of just the first volume. In this video I give you my thoughts on two series being published by Yen Press, The Elder Sister-Like One by Iida Pochi and Im: Great Priest Imhotep by Makoto Morishita. Let me know which of these series sound interesting to you down in the comments below!

My approach to Make 9 for 2021 will be mostly WIPs I'm trying to complete, however there is one garment that I definitely want to knit this year. Links after the break are all to Ravelry, as I have not yet created the project pages on my blog. As I work on them, you will find the blog links in my Yarnie Updates ^-^ What's on your Make 9 for 2021?
