Image
Crush by Tracy Wolff My rating: 4 of 5 stars Very entertaining even though the trope I dislike the most reared it's head. Last line was pretty predictable. Looking forward to the next one. View all my reviews

Welcome to my February 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 February.

Monochrome Manga Club First Impressions | Romantic Killer, Sasaki & Miyano, and Erased

Image
It's Manga Monday! Today I'm sharing my first impressions of Romantic Killer, Sasaki & Miyano, and Erased. 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 March selections, in case you want to read those and talk with me about them. I am helping to host #MarchMysteryMadness again this year and several of the selections are mysteries, if you'd like to participate. Let me know your thoughts on these volumes in the comments below, but please no spoilers past volume 1 ^-^ ~Mentions~ If you'd like to read the selections and chat with me about them, join the Monochrome Manga Club Discord Monochrome Manga Club Playlist

Books: My Thoughts on Living Dead in Dallas (Sookie Stackhouse 2)

Image
Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was entertaining, but I wasn't really invested in the characters or the story. I listened to the audiobook and do feel the narration helped the entertainment value. Will eventually read the next one, but not in a big rush to continue the series at the moment.
