Series I Won't (Probably Ever) Finish Part 2

  More series I attempted to read in the last few years that I don't care to finish.  Here's Part 1 in case you missed it! It was also yesterday's post.  1. The Spy x Family series by Tatsuya Endo. The story was cute at first but I got bored of it pretty fast.  2. The Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman. I did love the first four volumes but I didn't really vibe with volume 5. I even DNF'd it. There are other queer stories I am more interested in right now.  3.  The Molly Moon series by Georgia Byng.  I read the first book back in 2021 and I really like it! But then I read the second book in 2022 (before I started my blog) and didn't like it as much. It was disappointing. Again, don't care to read the rest.  4.  The Mr. Lemoncello series by Chris Grabenstein.  The same thing with the first Wayfarer's book, I though the first book was satisfying on its own. I bet the rest of the books are good, but I'm okay with just the first book....

Unpopular Opinions Book Tag 2023 Edition

Like my favorite booktuber Merphy Napier, I plan on redoing this tag every year as I read more books and I have more answers. Check out last year's answers here .  This tag was originally made by TheBookArcher on Booktube. Her original video is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYfgq8HgDc0&ab_channel=TheBookArcher As usual, feel free to do this tag if you see it! Here we go! 1. A popular book or series you didn't like.  I once again have too many answers for this one, but I will have to go with The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte . I found this book soooo boring! It was more of like a Jane Austen novel (an author you already know I don't like), where we have people just visiting each other's houses and gossiping about random stuff. Also, I found the MC to be kind of creepy.  2. A book/series a lot of people don't like, but you liked.  I'm gonna have to go with Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson . This book seems to be very divisive online. I...

August Wrap-Up

Here are all the books I read in August with their respective links to their reviews, if applicable. Yeah, I've gotten kinda lazy to rewrite their summaries here. And some I didn't write summaries because they are sequels. 😂 I read a total of 12  books. Yeah, more than I usually read on average each month! But that's because some of these books were graphic novels/manga or thin middle grade books (almost novellas?) that I could finish within a day. So that meant more books were read.  What was your favorite/least favorite book you read in August? One Piece Volumes 2, 3, and 4 (3 books) - All 5 stars! Skullduggery Pleasant 1 -Full review here . 4.5 stars.  The Tea Dragon Festival and The Tea Dragon Tapestry (2 books) -Both 5 stars! Middle School and Other Disasters: Worst Broommate Ever - Full review here . 5 stars My Calamity Jane -Full review here . 4.5 stars Comet in Moominland -Full review here . 4.5 stars Spy x Family Volume 2 - 5 stars Ronia the Robber's Daughter ...

I'VE STARTED READING SPYXFAMILY!!!

Image
  I unfortunately can't watch the anime right now because I don't have a subscription to Crunchyroll. But reading the manga is equally a fun experience! Spy x Family by Tatsuya Endo takes place in a location that seems to be inspired by Germany during the Cold War in real life. This fictional country is divided in two: Westalis and Ostania. Our MC is a spy with the codename Twilight and is from Westalis. He is tasked with a mission to get information from a shady government official from Ostania named Donovan Desmond, who only makes public appearances at his son's elite school. Twilight has to carry out the mission by adopting a kid, getting married to some woman, enrolling the kid into the academy, and pretending to be a parent in order to get information on Donovan. Twilight adopts the name Loid and adopts a telepathic girl from an orphanage named Anya. Anya immediately becomes attached to Loid, which is really cute to watch. Like all kids, she is a handful, but also real...
