I know the story from the manhwa (which is up to this point preeetty faithful to this version), but it was still fun to read it in this format and get just a little more of the detail. Jinwoo is so clueless about people's feelings, ahahaha.

Enjoyed it a lot.

I seem to have caught a winter cough so Rolo is helping me recover as I read in bed. This book is interesting and kind of gives me the urban fantasy equivalent of The Last Wish vibes.

Today‘s BN #bookhaul to spend my Christmas gift card. I asked for the tagged, but didn‘t really expect to get it. The Hekate has the gorgeous sprayed edges, and I can‘t wait for the next book (both to read it and to see what it looks like). The Time Machine is for homeschool literature on a few months - I thought I had it, but can‘t find it anywhere. Kiddo didn‘t spend all her gift cards in one go, but very carefully considered her purchases. 👇🏻

ravenlee Her treasures already got put away, so I didn‘t get a pic, but she got some Keeper of the Lost Cities, the new beautiful hardcover of Howl‘s Moving Castle, and a manga coloring book by Christopher Hart (her favorite manga drawing book author, and this book draws on his how-to series). And maybe something else, who knows. 13h
TEArificbooks We did Time Machine for our homeschool literature in November. In January we will do Diary of Anne Frank. 13h
ravenlee @TEArificbooks what grade/age is that for? We‘re about to start Little Women for January. Anne Frank will be for history, rather than literature, around the end of January-beginning of February. My kiddo is seventh grade. 13h
TEArificbooks I have an eighth grader and high school grad in his gap year that is still learning and preparing for college. We go to a teen homeschooling literature class/book club each week and Anne Frank is what they picked for January. They switch between classic/requires school reading books and modern books. They did Little Women last year. 13h

The B&N I went to for all my childhood is moving buildings, which means: 50% off everything in the store! Not a bad little haul.

TheEllieMo This is another that I haven‘t read on the grounds that it‘s “not my thing”, but this year I‘ve read and enjoyed a few books I would have said weren‘t “my thing” so I ought to give this one a go 21h
jenniferw88 @TheEllieMo the MC is basically an adult Harry Potter solving crime in the muggle world, if that helps you decide! 19h
TheEllieMo @jenniferw88 ah, well, HP was one (well, 7) of the books that surprised me this year, so I guess that does help me decide! 19h

Whew Whee!!! I adored this book. Ox and Joe may be my all time favorite couple. Especially for 2025. #QueerBC @PuddleJumper This promises to be an amazing series.

I started on this on Christmas morning, while waiting for my wife to get up (we got to bed late because of Christmas prep, but I can't sleep in on Christmas morning). I was tearing through it, already pouting about the wait for the next volume because stuff won't be shipped for a few days...

Look what my sister-in-law (to be) got me for Christmas! Whew...

Feat. my “new old friend“, a little plush Hythlodaeus from FFXIV, which my wife got me. 😁

The events from last book are still heavily impacting Mercy‘s behavior and judgement in ways that are true to life. The metaphysical stuff in this one was all over the place (pack magic, vampire bonds, controlling ghosts, vampires making zombies?) which made this one a little annoying (can‘t predict what‘s going to happen with all this shenanigans). But it was still good.
