What Am I Reading, Anyway?
Dec. 6th, 2017 01:44 pmWhat am I reading these days, anyway? A lot of manga still. This week, I read My Hero Academia / Boku no Hero Academia volume 10, “All For One” / “Ōru Fō Wan,” Blood-C 1 by Kotone Ranmaru, and four and a half volumes of Nana by Ai Yazawa. I was sort of 'meh' on the first two series, but I'm really enjoying Nana so far, which is good since I think the library has all 21 volumes. In fact, I was thinking about taking off a little early to go get Mason by way of Roseville Library, so I may just return what I've read and pick up as many as they have in a row.
Nana is about two twenty-something women, both of whom are named Nana. Both are originally from small towns and they meet each other on the train to Tokyo, one wintery night. Nana Komatsu is frivolous and the sort of giggly girl who pretty much falls for every man she meets. Nana Osaki is a hardcore punk rocker, hoping to make it big. It's slice-of-life with a heavy dose of romance/sexy times. I have this huge weakness--particularly lately--for slice-of-life stories where there's just not a WHOLE lot at stake, beyond people just trying to live good lives. So, I'm not entirely surprised that Nana is the one working for me out of the three series I read this week.
Otherwise, I continue holiday baking. Today, I made spritz:
Here's a close up of ones I was surprised to discover have six-pointed star. Perhaps for Hanukkah?
The funniest part of all this baking is that we're really not expecting anyone for the holidays. Shawn just really, really likes having a lot of cookies around.
Who doesn't?
How about you? Reading anything good this week?
