I'm sharing with you the final part of my very first Manga Collection video! This series of videos includes what I had in my collection as of December 31, 2020. I have 1,500 volumes in my collection as of that date. Have you read any of these titles? Are there any that you think I should pick up right away?

College Weekend by R.L. Stine My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 - Read for #FlashbackFebruaryReads At the beginning of this book, I wasn't sure if I had read it before. Towards the end things started to feel familiar, so maybe I have read it before. In any case, this was a fast and entertaining read. The main character in this one got on my nerves a lot, but I'm enjoying revisiting authors I enjoyed growing up. View all my reviews

Execution of Innocence by Christopher Pike My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was my read for The Booktube Spin and #FlashbackFebruaryReads This book had such a nostalgic feel to me as I had read a lot of Christopher Pike's work growing up. I don't believe I read this one before, though parts of it definitely felt familiar. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, but I still really enjoyed this read and am looking forward to reconnecting with my collection of his books. View all my reviews

My thoughts on The Crimson Crown, the final book in the Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima, and Silent Night, Deadly Night, the fourth book in the Year-Round Christmas Mystery series by Vicki Delaney. Introduction: 0:00 The Crimson Crown: 2:08​ Silent Night, Deadly Night: 8:36​ Just a reminder that in this set of videos there could be spoilers ahead since I am talking about books further along in each series. I try not to be too spoilery, but just be aware going in. If you would like to know my thoughts on each of these free of spoilers, check out my thoughts on each of these books on my blog or Goodreads!

Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really enjoyed this one. There was a lot that happened that I was not aware of being only familiar with an adaptation of this series. Of course this volume ended on one my most favorite notes and everything from here will be new territory for me. I'm looking forward to continuing my journey with these characters.
