Welcome to Litsy!

At 89% and I had to pause - again - or I might would've started to cry. I mean, I did read about about shutdowns and autistic burnouts, but hearing her talking about them that openly? That hits differentky, again. I'm the one who goes nonverbal and got in trouble for that not only as a child, but also as a grown-up. Finally I know, why this happens. I think I need to feed my ADHD side for a while before continuing this.

Always reassuring when a long running series has a particularly good entry in a later volume. As has happened in the past, this one shone not because it was particularly zany (though the comic quality of this series is to be treasured) but because it managed a multi-episode narrative that was semi-serious in tone, and, as has regularly appeared in the series, commentary on how war affects people as individuals.

Pfft. 😏

Marriage Toxin, volume 6
Arashiyama is my favorite candidate so far!! Why? Her hamster-minions are so adorable 🐹 ☺️

You and I are Polar Opposites, volume 3

So many pairings, but these two are still the cutest couple ☺️ And apparently there is an anime of this series coming out next year!

This is an amusingly daft book. It's quite self-indulgent and very silly, with Ayoade interviewing himself and going off on rambling tangents, but that's kind of the point. There are a million foot notes, which he's very keen to point out don't come across well in audio and he keeps saying you should have bought the print book instead, which I found really funny.

Just had to pause the audiobook, because Fern threw me back into my own childhood. What she tells us about her childhood friend was basically the same thing I experienced. I already related to a lot of things she wrote about in the last hour, but this scene just really, really got me ❤️‍🩹

Next up

Refreshing myself on the beginning of a new story arc before I catch up on this series backlog 👍🏼 I have about 4 more volumes 😅
