Two Different Viewpoints on Queer Life in Japan

I Want to be a Wall (Vol.1) by Honami Shirono

X-Gender (Vol.1) by Asuka Miyazaki

June 20, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I'm very much enjoying the wider variety of manga that's being translated now, especially the autobiographical and LGBT+ books. These two volumes are a combination of both and I enjoyed them for different reasons. I Want to be a Wall is about an asexual woman and a gay man getting married, seemingly … [Read more]

Lorna Doone by R. D. Blackmore

June 20, 2022 by elderberrywine Leave a Comment

Written by a contemporary of Dickens, and a favorite of mine since I was a teen.  Ah, so romantic, and sometimes disarmingly funny too.  So let me set it up for you.  Set in Exmoor during the mid-1600s, young local wrestling champion John Ridd is Gaston, except make him responsible, kind, and with a … [Read more]

Take a bow

Middle School Misadventures by Jason Platt

June 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My weekend included too much laundry, a miserably cold and rainy Saturday, not feeling well but actually reading a few easy children’s reads (in between getting seating ready on the front porch finally). Granted, most were not huge hits, but Middle School Misadventures by Jason Platt was not a … [Read more]

This is the third of the Witcher novels, and the sixth book of the series I have read now, having completed the two story collections, the digressive novel Season of Storms, and the first two of the main storyline. The throughlines of this book: Triss, Philippa, Keira and other witches are … [Read more]
