Candy Bunny Reader

Part 1 of some series that I tried in the last 2 or so years where I read the first book or the first couple of books in its series and have no interest in continuing. For various reasons. 1.  The Wayfarers Series by Becky Chambers . Listen: I ADORED the first book The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet , but I felt the first book was already satisfying enough on its own. I don't feel the need to read the rest of the series.  2. The original Nancy Drew books by Carolyn Keene . If you've been on my blog since the beginning you'd know that I read the first 5 or so books. They were pretty interesting, but I found after a while that I wasn't really that passionate about Nancy and her adventures. I respect how influential they are on youth literature, but I won't be reading anymore of them. 3. The Moomins series by Tove Jansson . I do love the Moomins very much! But I found more enjoyment in the TV show adaptations than in the books. It's kind of like how I switched fr...

  I also do this tag every year in September! If you choose to do this tag, I hope to see your answers. 1.  A popular book or series you didn't like.  As always, I have too many answers for this one. I guess I'll have to go with one I read this year that was pretty disappointing: Josee, The Tiger, and The Fish by Seiko Tanabe. 2.  A book/series a lot of people don't like, but you liked.  I think these two books are more divided than widely disliked. They are The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I really liked those two books, especially A Little Princess! 3.  A love triangle where the main character ended up with the person didn’t want them to end up with/an OTP that you don’t like. I will try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible, but let's just say I do not like who Xingyin (the MC) ends up with in Heart of the Sun Warrior (the sequel to Daughter of the Moon Goddess ) by Sue Lynn Tan. Very disappointing ...

This series (both the manga and anime) has gained some popularity recently! I got around to starting it a while ago. As of writing this I read the first 4 volumes. They've all been 4 stars. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End by Kanehito Yamada and Tsukasa Abe is about an immortal female elf mage named Frieren. She and her group of traveling magical fighter companions defeated the Demon King a long time ago, and have gone their separate ways. The fellowship lasted 10 years, and for Frieren, being an long-living elf, it felt like a very short time for her, and she didn't develop much attachment to her peers. But then one day years and years later one of her peers in the group, named Himmel, dies of old age. Frieren feels sad that she didn't spend more time to know him better, and she plans a new journey with new friends Fern, Stark, and Sein to go to the land of souls to talk to Himmel's spirit. Along the way, they encounter and accomplish mini-missions, just like any ty...
