The Silver Eyes by Scott Cawthon My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really entertaining read. It was a little slow to start for me but once things started rolling, I became very interested in the story. Looking forward to the next installment! View all my reviews

Disis19 Diaries: September 18-24 | 2022 - September Wrap Up 3, Knitting, and Another Birthday Gift

Image
Welcome to my September 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 so far in September.  There's some knitting and TV show/movie chat in this one too ^-^ I also received another special Birthday/Booktubiversary gift from Amy at AStar Reads   ~Mentions~ Demon Slayer Vols 5 & 6 by Koyoharu Gotouge Sailor Moon Eternal Edition Vol 6 by Naoko Takeuchi

Monochrome Manga Club First Impressions | Animal Crossing: Deserted Island Diary & Solo Leveling

Image
It's Manga Monday! Today I'm sharing my first impressions of Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Deserted Island Diary. We also read volume 1 of Solo Leveling, however I already have a dedicated first impressions video for that title and will not be talking about that title here. If you are interested in my thoughts on Solo Leveling, please check out the video linked below. 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 October selections, in case you want to read those and talk with me about them. Let me know your thoughts on these volumes in the comments below, but please no spoilers past volume 1 ^-^ ~Mentions~ Series First Impressions | Solo Leveling (Light Novel, Audiobook, and Manhwa)  Monochrome Manga Club Playlist

Light Novels: My Thoughts on My Happy Marriage, Vol. 1

Image
My Happy Marriage, Vol. 1 by Akumi Agitogi My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 4.5 I really enjoyed this one. The summary for this book does not mention that some of the characters in this world have certain gifts. It was a nice surprise and definitely helped to keep my interest. Looking forward to the next volume! View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Tokyo Dreaming (Tokyo Ever After 2)

Image
Tokyo Dreaming by Emiko Jean My rating: 4 of 5 stars I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first. I can't even say why because it would be a spoiler! I still enjoyed the story quite a bit. View all my reviews

Bl Metamorphosis, Vol. 5 by Kaori Tsurutani My rating: 5 of 5 stars Really loved this series! Such a nice, wholesome story.

Books: My Thoughts on Sharkwater Beach

Image
Sharkwater Beach by Tim Meyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 I enjoyed this one more before the twist. The twist was just a bit strange for me and definitely not what I was expecting going into this one. Even with that, I still thought this was an entertaining and fast read. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Kushiel's Dart (Phèdre's Trilogy 1)

Image
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey My rating: 4 of 5 stars Really enjoyed this one. I was surprised by how much it kept my interest as I usually have a difficult time with books this long. The torture scenes were a bit much for me at times, I will admit. I almost want to jump into the next one right away, but if the next one is anything like this one, it will take a bit of a time commitment that I just don't have at the moment. View all my reviews
