Of course I judge books by their covers

SOMEDAY I WILL FIND MY YA NOVEL ABOUT A MUSLIM TEENAGE GIRL WEREWOLF CAUGHT UP IN INHERITANCE POLITICS AND I WILL CLUTCH IT TO MY HEART AND NEVER EVER LET IT GO.

In totally related news, the cover for Jatta is a LIE. =(((((( Boo, don't get my hopes up cover artists.

(Seriously I wasn't projecting right? That looks like a hijab right? It was a totally reasonable expectation to think I had finally found my YA paranormal with a Muslim heroine RIGHT?)

I looked around on the Internet!

I found scans for Nabari Volume 5! I FEEL LIKE AN ACCOMPLISHED PERSON.

Also Hanabusa is awesome in both manga and anime form. \o/

But when will Yoite backstory start? -stares very hard at chapter 24- I have seen all this already, I need my extra canon and I need it now.

I keep rewatching bits of GOLD episode 1 and stalking the Hifumi scans website, someone stop me. T_T I really want to be Yuuki Saotome when I grow up.

Also I have given up on reading Darklight. =( I really WANT to like it. Canadian author writing about Shakespeare and fairies! But seeing as I am making myself keep going through my total lack of character investment there really isn't a point.

Tiny Things Make Me Happy

Guys, I am so genuinely proud of myself for reading an entire volume of Nabari on my computer! Do you know how long it is since I've read manga online? Not since my Loveless revival! And even longer before that, I think way back when I was still following Nana online.

Though uhh now I remember one of the many reasons I don't do this anymore is it's crazy frustrating when you're merrily reading along and you just can't find one chapter no matter how you try. :/ What's up, chapter 32? Why are you so determined to elude my grasp?

Picked up P. C. Cast's Warrior Rising today. Have little to say so far except that if you want to tell the Totally Heterosexual Love Stories of Two Ancient Greek Men and the Time Travelling Women Who Love Them then maybe Achilles and Patroklus aren't your best choices for your heroes. :/ It is really really weird reading Venus insist that Achilles is 100% straight and needs the love of a good woman to tame his inner raging berserker.
