i need more people to be obsessed with a sign of affection, totally agree with you on mr.childlike love response. The way itsumi shuts him down the way he does, big smiles.
August as a reading month was terrible for me, i read 5 books and almost all of them were 3stars. And i dnf'ed 3 books after getting a lot of pages into all three of them and it was so heartbreaking. I still found a new fave and only one 5star which is 'the ex vows' by Jessica Joyce.
i was actually reading the windy city series this month and i really loved it. gun to my head i really couldn't tell you which was my favourite...i think objectively it would be caught up because of how the story progressed and even that bit that no one likes where they separate before the hea was executed really beautifully. it was just written very well. subjectively with all the feelings and thoughts, maybe isaiah and kennedy's story moved me the most. but my favourite character in this series without a doubt was Max, he definitely stole the show. best baby in book ever
🏀 some books I read in august were: Icon and inferno by Marie Lu (2nd book in series). This was a five star for me!, Powerless (4.5 star for me) Betting on You by Lynn Painter (4.75 star for me), and Everyone in this family has killed someone by Benjamin Stevenson (4.5 stars for me) I highly recommend all of these 14+.
i am genuinely so happy you’re reading SoA! thank you for giving it another chance. it has quickly become one of my favorite mangas and it just continues to get better with every volume. vol. 9 had me kicking my mf feet i have never read and then reread something so fast! cant wait for vol. 10!!
I loved Veronica Speedwell as well, their banter is so *chef's kiss*. And I also recently reread The Right Move and im so so glad you loved it, it's definitely my fave of the series 💜
August 1. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Edited by Scot Hicks & David V. Hicks 2. Clash of Kings by George RR Martin 3. Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness 4. Lady Audley’s Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon 5. The Visitors by Sally Beauman I'm with you on DNFing, but there are some books I go and forth with.
I agree with you about Oshi. Like, you can defend her from all those people who bad mouthed her without you being so mean/bad towards her. You can express your care in a nice way. And while Oshi wants to hide Yuki from the rest of the world because he doesn't want her to experience some bad experience (when he's actually the doing it towards her), Itsuomi wants Yuki to see the world. Vol. 10/11 made me cry because of that one specific scene. 😢 I'm glad you liked ASOA more now than before. It gave me butterflies and made me kick and punch the air every time I think about it.
I read A Sign of Affection in August because of your vlog....I only gave it 3 stars, but I will be continuing and think I will love it in further volumes. I read A Curious Beginning last year and gave it 5 stars and I also gave The Tea Dragon Society 5 stars this year too! I did read the Robot and Monk series and did not enjoy it, but I've found out Sci-fi is NOT for me. Glad you had so many amazing reads in August!
Becky Chambers is my favorite sci-fi author. I gave A psalm for the wild-built and To be taught, if fortunate 5⭐️, and A long way to a small, angry planet was 4.5⭐️ (but will probably be a 5 on a reread). I highly recommend her oeuvre
Hi Mel, if you want to check out a cozy fall manga I highly recommend Witch Hat Atelier. I recently got it for myself and was blown away by the beautiful artstyle and story, I really think it would be something you would enjoy☺️🍁
Not sure if you've read it or not, but you should read Raybourn's standalone "Killers of a Certain Age." It's got the humor present in her Veronica Speedwell series, but just applied to 60+ age female assassins and had me cackling. Also, The Tea Dragon Society is officially one of my favorite graphic novels of all time, and some of the fall pages in the third volume are STUNNING. I read a lot of mysteries in August, and some new ones I liked were the first two of the Rachel Savernake series by Martin Edwards, "Gallows Court" and "Mortmain Hall." It's a blend of crime fiction and mystery, and the FMC is very much moralistically grey.
I was prepared to hate because of other people's rating but I love it, I also like simple cute romance book don't care for much dept so maybe that's why 😅
My biggest issue with Just for the Summer was the trauma was so deeply traumatic and repressed that it makes no sense as to why she's ready for a healthy relationship at the end of the book. Also the last twist was too much for me. I was glad she came to the necessary realization to move on but it felt extreme for what we'd already been through with Emma. I couldn't believe Justin and Emma should be together in the last third of the book. I agree that it was hard to enjoy this book beyond 50 or 60% and the marketing was deceiving.
The Tea Dragon Society is such a sweet series
yesss the veronica speedwell mysteries is so underrated!!❤
I've never heard of the Veronica Speedwell series. Its on the TBR now! A Sign of Affection looks so cute
I'm all for you joining the Veronica Speedwell fan club. This series is my personality trait.

My most 2 highlights in august were "Tress of the emerald see" and "Starling House". My lowlights the first two books in the "Atlas Six" trilogy.

I almost un-hauled A Sign of Affection. You convinced me not to now…
Could you make a video about how to start a social media platform revolving around a hobby such as reading?
I’m sending you love❤
I love a sign of affection

I want to read the Veronica Speedwell series so bad 🥲

I haven’t read not in love yet but I’ve heard a lot of people saying it’s not as good as her other novels and that makes me so sad😭
I've seen people who haven't liked her previous work enjoy this too. It might just be something that's polarizing.

After mile high I refuse to read any Liz Tomforde book but everybody swears the other books are better 😂
