Disis19 Diaries: June 19-25 | 2022 - June Wrap Up 4 and One More Finished Pair of Socks!

Image
Welcome to my June reading and crafting vlog! I've decided to rename these Disis19 Diaries, because that's what these videos really are - diary entries as opposed to following me around while I do things. This vlog will encompass what I finished reading in June. Includes reads for #MangaPrideReads #Whateverthon and #ReadYourEReader There's some knitting and movie chat in this one too ^-^ ~Mentions~ Monochrome Manga Club First Impressions | I Want to be a Wall and Whisper Me a Love Song Witch by Iain Rob Wright Sailor Moon Eternal Edition 3 by Naoko Takeuchi Death Note Black Edition 6 by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata I'm Looking for Serious Love! by Shoko Rakuta Jemima Sock Pattern by Kay Jones of the Bakery Bears Podcast

Manga: My Thoughts on This Wonderful Season With You

Image
This Wonderful Season With You by Atsuko Yusen My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this one. It was very sweet and I enjoyed the art style. I especially loved the fact that all the character's surnames were food related! This story worked better for me than [book:Dekoboko Sugar Days|48752709]. I do think that the additional pages in this volume helped the story development. This volume does contain mature content in the last chapter, just so you know. View all my reviews

Monochrome Manga Club First Impressions | I Want to be a Wall and Whisper Me a Love Song

Image
It's Manga Monday! Today I'm sharing my first impressions of I Want to be a Wall and Whisper Me a Love Song. I thought I'd have a dedicated video to these selections in case anyone wanted to read and talk about the selections with me here. I also announce the July selections, in case you want to read those and talk with me about them.

Finished Series: Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 6

Image
Death Note: Black Edition, Vol. 6 by Tsugumi Ohba My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 The further I got into this series, the more tiresome it became for me. I think this would've worked much better for me if it was from one character's point of view. The panels became so cluttered with text towards the end, that you couldn't appreciate the illustrations. I am glad I have finally read through this series though. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Witch (The Cursed Manuscripts 1)

Image
Witch by Iain Rob Wright My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was an entertaining read but just ok for me. It wasn't particularly scary or suspenseful, but the story kept me interested through to the end. The synopsis for this book has nothing to do with what happens in this story and in looking at the next book in this series, that doesn't seem to connect either. I do not think I will be continuing to the next one. View all my reviews

Books: The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians 5)

Image
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan My rating: 5 of 5 stars Really enjoyed my re-read of this series! This installment definitely felt like it moved quickly, though it could also be because there's a lot happening. I didn't remember most of what happened in this one, but there were pieces here and there that I did. This will definitely be a series I will re-read again. View all my reviews

End of Month Reading Reflections | May 2022

Image
In May, I decided to do my wrap ups a bit different. Instead of putting together a compilation video of my reviews over the month, I just included my wrap ups in my Disis19 Diary videos every week. This video will include a few of my reading stats for the month and a review of my best and worst reads of the month. I also discuss where my reading is at right now. If you are interested in hearing my thoughts on any of the things I read during the month, please check out my Disis19 Diaries for May. I do have short written reviews available on Goodreads or my blog for the novels I read, but not the manga. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is a stat you'd like to see me include in the future! ~Mentions~ Monochrome Manga Club First Impressions | The Fox & Little Tanuki and A Man & His Cat

Manga: My Thoughts on Tomorrow, Make Me Yours

Image
Tomorrow, Make Me Yours by Kaoruko Miyama My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really enjoyed this one. Cute romance with a lot of blushing from both characters. Not a perfect romance by any means as there is miscommunication and jealousy, but I still enjoyed reading their story. This title does include mature content, so be aware of that before you pick this one up.  View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Ghost in the Headlights

Image
Ghost in the Headlights by Lindsey Duga My rating: 4 of 5 stars I thought this was highly entertaining! I have to admit I was a little unsure I would like this with what goes on at the beginning of this book, but as I got further into the book I enjoyed it more and more. I'll definitely be reading more of this author's work in the future! View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Deadlocked Dollhouse (Locked House Hauntings 1)

Image
Deadlocked Dollhouse by Mixi J. Applebottom My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 This was an entertaining read but there were a few things that didn't add up for me especially with the family's finances. There was quite a bit of swearing in it. This doesn't bother me, but I thought there was more than necessary. I did read the sample of the next book which was provided at the end and I'm not sure that I would continue this series. I do feel like several of the books can be read as standalones, if not all, but in looking at the summaries it seems some of them connect a bit with a previous installment. I may pick up another installment of this series later on, but it probably won't be a series I read completely. View all my reviews
