So far this manga is really cute. There isn't much that happened in this volume other than establishing the main story, but I enjoyed it still.

#Celebrate IncludPhobia I'm not a fan of punk rock, so I couldn't listen to this song to its entirety. I never there was such a thing as Somniphobia. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A Christmas Carol (Collins Classics) | Charles Dickens

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner.

Wow, another great book from @rachelsbrittain ‘s #AuldLangSpine list! It‘s another 5⭐️ for me. It was perfect timing for a book I wanted to get lost in as I had a sick day so extra reading time. (Just a cold)

Think magical boarding school, mostly from the point of view of a professor who teaches high level demon summoning and dispatching. I felt like there was some influence from Terry Pratchett and a bit of Scholomance. Bi main character. Win!

Soubhiville Also I love this cover! And hello from Venkman. 5d

Bookwormjillk Hope you‘re feeling better! 5d

monalyisha OOooo. I‘d sort of discounted this one (I brought it home a while ago and the first few pages didn‘t grab me) but maybe it‘s back on my list? 🙈 I thought the Scholomance books were very diverting! 5d

slategreyskies Hope you feel better soon. Hi, Venkman! 😻 5d

Leftcoastzen Oh feel better ! Cats make great nurses! 5d

Soubhiville @monalyisha it‘s somewhat of a slow start, and I wondered in the first few pages too. But then it clicked and I ended up loving it! 5d

rachelsbrittain Wow you're blazing through them! I'm so impressed. Glad this one was such a great read for you, too! I also highly recommend her sci-fi novel if you enjoy that genre as well. (I read it a few years back.) Hope you start to feel better!

Some Desperate Glory

rachelsbrittain Also your kitty is precious. Those ears and eyes! And the little curled up paws 😍 5d

Soubhiville @rachelsbrittain I did almost nothing but read the first and second, plus I can listen to audiobooks while I‘m working so that helps me read a lot more. 🙂 I read Some Desperate Glory a couple years ago too and thought it was good, but this was better! Also her duology is very good- first one

Silver in the Wood

rachelsbrittain @Soubhiville yeah I thoroughly enjoyed Silver in the Wood. I didn't even realize it was the same author when I initially read all four books 😂 5d

Speechless: A Graphic Novel | Aron Nels Steinke

I learned a lot about social anxiety and selective mutism through this one. It‘s given me food for thought for myself and my kiddos. I appreciated that Mira‘s concerns with friends, speaking in front of class, and interacting with a younger sibling are pretty universal even with everything else she‘s dealing with.

We Like Kindergarten | Clara Cassidy

I've picked 60 of my favorite books to reread in 2026 as part of my birthday celebrations.

Starting with first book I remember. Someone gave it to me, I'm assuming right before I started Kindergarten. Best part was it had a character with my name - Annette. (Didn't become Annie until later.)

I took with me when I left home. Obviously that one didn't survive the house fire but I found a replacement on Ebay for $5. 🤓
