Welcome to Litsy!

I was debating whether or not to give this 3.5 or 4 stars. I finally decided on 4 because the story was so clever!

This was my third Jane Austen novel. Previously, I had read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility and enjoyed both of them.

My immediate impression of this book was that it was hilarious.

What a beautiful collection of poems!

Going into this, I was only vaguely familiar with Rumi and his poetry. I was always curious about his work and I‘m happy I finally read it.

I love that the translator gave a ton of context to the poems. The book opens with notes on the transliteration, Rumi‘s life, and on the poems.

This was such a cute and sweet manga!

The story is very interesting to say the least. Essentially, the main character, Nasa, gets saved by a mysterious girl named Tsukasa. He immediately asks her out and she says yes on the condition that he marries her. This volume primarily explores the very early days of their marriage.

#Prison (er) is my favorite HP book. My daughter and I are starting a HP read through this year and I can't wait to get to this one.
