This is upsetting. I was really looking forward to this book but it didn‘t have what I was looking for. This is about a professor who is also a world class insurance claims investigator who does the major multimillion dollar cases. I was excited to see how this goes but it just seemed so unrealistic for how he solved things. Made it 30% through with even rechecking it out at the library.

Ever since binging through two series back to back I haven‘t been able to really get into anything. It‘s been about a week since anything has grabbed my attention and I‘m a bit nervous! I decided to force myself to pick this up because I need to return it before I leave for vacation Monday. I‘m enjoying it but not sure if it‘s going to save me 🤷‍♀️

night_shift I know those feels 😞 hope it gets better soon! 5y
StayCurious I go through slumps a lot - sometimes I think I have too much choice as to what to read next and I can't make up my mind! 5y
Schnoebs @StayCurious @UnidragonFrag I think I‘m putting part of the blame on my current Harry Potter audiobook which is the order of the phoenix (aka my least favorite) and I need to get through it before my hold on the next one goes up at the library. It‘s just a current moment of so many meh reads! 5y
HOTPock3tt I know that feeling... The wicked king brought me out of my recent slump. 5y

Every Monday I try to share a favorite #manga. Feel free to create your own post. I love to see what other manga readers are reading.

Today I'm sharing Master Keaton. This is a #blameitonlitsy manga since I heard about it a year ago from @AMVP. I love it because...

📚 Adult main character, not a starry eyed teen (but I love those too.
📚 Master Keaton is a MacGyvering badass
📚 History!
📚 Most of the stories are stand alone.

julesG I've never read a Manga. Can you recommend a 'beginner's' Manga? 6y
Sace @julesG what types of books do you like to read? 6y

Sace About those ☝️.... A lot of those series are loooong. Ridiculously long. 6y
Sace I've stalled out on Death Note. It's very popular but was not for me. 6y
Sace My students love Fairy Tail. 6y
Sace @julesG Bleach and Detective Conan are on my TBR. 6y
julesG Thanks. I tend to read a lot of fantasy but enjoy Sci-fi as well. I was overwhelmed by the Manga shelves at Foyels when I was in London last year and didn't remember to ask the staff. 🙈 6y
julesG Just checked the local library branch, they have Dragon Ball and Fullmetal Alchemist and it's in English and I can get it on my kids' library card (I don't have one for the local library since the English language section doesn't have much I'd like to read). 6y
Sace @julesG if you enjoy sci-fi and fantasy I'm sure you will find some good Manga. 😁 I have heard very good things about Fullmetal Alchemist. 6y
Serotonin Ooo, I like this! I have just the manga in mind 😉 6y
Sace @Serotonin Awesome! 6y

Probably wouldn't have read this manga if not for posts by @RestlessFickleBookSlut and @RealLifeReading, so thank you! I found this absorbing and fun; the artwork is detailed and gorgeous, the stories compelling. The main character is an archaeology lecturer who moonlights as an insurance investigator; his previous training with the British SAS stands him in good stead in his adventures. Think of a more taciturn, less annoying, scholarly MacGyver.

RealLifeReading Hooray!! 7y

Fabulous art, great stories, lots of research and even some survival tips. Even if you think you don't read #manga, you owe it to yourself to try this series.

MayJasper I'll give it a go ☺ 7y
