Welcome to my January 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 January. There's a little bit of knitting and TV chat in this one as well ^-^  ~Mentions~ Game: Between the Suits, Volume 2 by Mai Nishikata Demon Slayer, Volumes 13 & 14 by Koyoharu Gotogue Pretty Guardian Salior Moon, Eternal Edition Volume 10 by Naoko Takeuchi Yarn haul from Lolodidit 2018 Yarn Advent Calendar from Pineapple Yarns Flax Light pattern from Tin Can Knits - free on Ravelry

Light Novels: My Thoughts on Heaven Official's Blessing Volume 1

Image
Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu (Novel) Vol. 1 by Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was just ok for me. Definitely not what I was expecting. It was entertaining, but it didn't draw me in. I will continue to the next one and see how I feel about the series after that one. Artwork within was gorgeous. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on Darkfever (Darkfever 1)

Image
Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning My rating: 4 of 5 stars More like a 3.5 on re-read. Definitely an entertaining read, but not as enjoyable as I remember it being. It's been over a decade since I read this the last time, so I didn't remember much but I still found the story enjoyable. Decided to listen to the audiobook this time around to give me a different experience. Didn't really jive with the narration but speeding it up a bit more really helped. Not sure if I want to continue with the audiobooks going forward, but I will be continuing to the next one soon. View all my reviews

Books: My Thoughts on The Christmas Murder Game

Image
The Christmas Murder Game by Alexandra Benedict My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was entertaining, but never really drew me in. Interesting game but there was one character that grated on my nerves for a majority of the book. Some aspects were too predictable but there was a slight surprise in the end as well. I listened to this entirely on audiobook and do wonder if I would've felt more connected to the story if I had read it physically. It might be something to try in the future. View all my reviews
