I bought this volume years ago at a comic convention. It lived in my TBR pile until recently when I learned that it was adapted into an anime series. And I think it really cool since it‘s done by a US artist, kickstarted into manga publication, and then made into anime in Japan 👍🏼 So awesome!!

Anyways, it‘s a rom-com set in gaming culture, woman working in STEM, deals with mental health and internet celebrity-ism.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs

I just reread (relistened?) to this novella and still loved it. Standard Ali Hazelwood territory, with enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity tropes and a great literary/gaming bent. Due out in print early next year!

#Romantics @ChaptersofChaos

Anyone else enjoying a good romance this week? You‘re tagged!

The book was well written but not well researched. The book takes place in 1982 and mentions things that did not happen until 2010. Also while I know the town is fiction the geographic details are off.

I did not know the story of Tetris was such a legal thriller filled with international intrigue!

#graphicnovel

This was a great novella for a quick read.

A video game that brings out the worst of a person‘s personality? One that literally turns people into murderers? Super creepy concept - especially given how addicting all video games seem to be for a lot of people. The author did a good job of keeping my interest and keeping me listening. The narrator though? Not a favorite. She was so monotone, no matter what was happening! Still happy I finished it! 🌟🌟🌟

I initially got this to try listening with my son to see how he‘d do with an audiobook that didn‘t accompany a shorter picture book. It didn‘t hold his interest beyond the first chapter (but I think it would have been different if Libby had a whispersync feature like Kindle/Audible does). Normally I would DNF a book I intended to read with him when he loses interest, but I thought the sound effects were really cool and kept going with it. ⬇️

Zaddy is always my favorite 🤩
