May - August Rapid Reviews Wrap-Up

I think I am too much of a yapper to actually do rapid, flash reviews, but I'll try to make them short because there's a lot to get through, and most of it has faded from my memory already.

I went on a trip that spanned May through the end of June, and I thought I'd have so much more to talk about, but I was on a big DNF'ing spree, unfortunately. I am quite sad to say that my reads from these past months were a bit lack luster. Thus, my reviews will be a bit rough today

March & April Wrap-Up

I am posting March + April all the way in September because that's just how behind I am on reading and reviewing. I promise I haven't stopped reading!

February Wrap-Up

This month's fixation is very obviously danmei. More specifically, Meatbun. I went to the Animate store earlier this month and very spontaneously bought a copy of Bing An Ben, since it's a new release and it looked so pretty on the shelves. Now I wish I had bought a copy of Yuwu too.

Catching Up

It has been a very long time since I've yapped about books here! My initial excuse for this was that I haven't been reading, which was true for some point of time, but now that I've written out all the books I've read since the last post I realize that isn't necessarily true. 

However, a good amount of these books I read on vacation, which was way back in June. And I have a very short term memory, so most of these are just going to be flash reviews from the fragments I remember.
