The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 2
The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 2 | Natsu Hyuuga
6 posts | 5 read
Dismissed from the rear palace, Maomao returns to service in the outer courtas the personal serving woman to none other than Jinshi! That doesnt necessarily make her popular with the other ladies, but a bit of jealousy might be the least of her problems. A mysterious warehouse fire, an official with a very bad case of food poisoning, and the mysterious last will and testament of a deceased craftsman all demand her attentionbut are these cases really separate, or do they share a troubling connection? Then theres the mysterious military man who continually visits Jinshi. Hes strange, maybe even a little twisted... and he seems very interested in Maomao.

New lesson learned: when you have only about 5-10 minutes left to read in a book, then don't try to go to sleep without finishing it... My brain kept buzzing for AGES.

Volume 2 is a lot of fun, and I read it so fast. I really should order volume 4, since I'm sure I'll devour volume 3 as well...

Clare-Dragonfly You might as well buy the rest of the series since you‘re enjoying it so much! 😇 1w
imthatniki I love this! Are you going to watch the anime? 1w
shanaqui @Clare-Dragonfly Right?! Though... probably don't have the budget this month, ahaha. 1w
shanaqui @imthatniki Possibly! But probably not as a priority -- I don't watch much TV or anything, so it's hard to fit it in, and I'm quite fidgety. 😅 1w

Yep... this was the right choice for my mood. I've read two thirds of it already; saving the last part for right before bed, or maybe tomorrow. I only have one more volume already owned, so I might have to shake my book budget later to see if I can order volume four.

I still swear I'm not deliberately avoiding a #BookSpinBingo, but... I think if I can grab some time today, I'm going to start the second Apothecary Diaries light novel. I love Maomao and her scientific approach to the world so much.

I started The Apothecary Diaries last week, and I'm currently on vol. 2... LOVE IT. These are a few others I nabbed from the library as well. Will probably spend a good chunk of my day tomorrow reading them.
A not pictured shout out to, SHADOWS HOUSE by Somato because that started getting Really good in volume 4, and I'm also watching the anime.. however, I'm reading the series illegally on the internet, so shhhhhhh 🤫

This light novel is a little different from the manga version. Get a little more character storyline. Either way light novel or manga this series is fun. The FMC is sassy, smart and very clever. And quite rhe mystery solver to boot. This was my March #bookspin book read. @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y

Uh oh someone is targeting the consorts of the emperor and one lady in waiting is the taster and detective who can sense poison. Really good storyline and I really enjoy the characters.
