July Book Mail: Light Novels

After escaping her abusive family and restarting her education, Miyo thought she would spend the rest of her days as Kiyoka’s fiancée in peace. But when horrible visions begin to assail her night after night, she gradually starts to break down. As tensions flare and the once-happy couple lapses into misunderstanding, Miyo finds herself leaving home once again…

Hello, dearies! 📬

I got new books in the mail and of course, I had to share them with you. 🥰

Why do I buy so many light novels? They are light, lol. They don’t occupy as much as space as the hardcover books that I want to have on my bookshelf.

But I got this particular ones because I really enjoyed My Happy Marriage Vol. 1 and I wanted to continue the story straightaway.

Drums of Autumn: TBT

“But a man is not forgotten, as long as there are two people left under the sky. One, to tell the story; the other, to hear it.”

Author: Diana Galbadon

Genre: Fantasy, Time travel, Romance

Series: Outlander (Book #4)

OMG! It’s July already!😲 Almost August! 🥲

Hard to believe but half the year already, I need two months back.

Anyway, have you read the Outlander books? I read up to this book, which is book 4, then started book 5, and… I stopped without meaning to, I really should go back to it.

But today’s throwback is about Drums of Autumn, which is book 4 and it introduces so many characters in a deeper way.

Brianna. Roger. John.

Back in DoA, It’s life in the past but what I liked about it was Brianna’s journey. Alright, that’s spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books and you have no idea who anyone is other than Jaime and Claire from the show, and that if you only watched season 1, which is book 1 (Outlander). I don’t blame you if that’s all you watched though, it was a good season and a great start, but there’s more to it.

Also abbreviated as フルバナ (or Furubana)

Genres: School Life, Fantasy, Shoujo, Drama, Comedy, Romance (?)

Hello, dearies! 🎒

I’ll dive right into this one, but please be warned that there are spoilers here if you have not read Fruits Basket (Manga) or watched the anime of the same name, which is also called Furuba.

My Happy Marriage #1 – Light Novel Review

Will they like each other in the end?

Author: Akumi Agitogi

Genres: Romance, Fantasy, Fiction, Historical Fiction

Other names: わたしの幸せな結婚. Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon.

Original published date: January 15, 2019

Page count: 153 (156 with Afterword)

🤩📖

Welcome, dearies! 💍

This is the first time I do a light novel review.

A light novel, or ライトノベル (raito noberu) in Japanese, is a popular form of literature originating from Japan. It is typically categorized as young adult fiction, with its primary audience being teenagers and young adults in their twenties.

However the review still remains the same way as it is me rambling here. Alright, alright, today’s novel is My Happy Marriage #1, why specify the one? Because so far there are 8 books in this series. I’m glad I didn’t know about it back in 2019 when it came out for Japan because I wouldn’t have been able to read it as only on January 18, 2022, did the English version come out. And thanks to Yen Press, it seems like I’m always promoting them but I really am not, I wish I got free stuff but true is that YP has a lot of my favourites so I often find myself buying the manga and books from there. In any case, I got MHM in the mail back in June, you can check out the book mail for it here.

1 Year Ago: Podcasting Life

Hello, dearies! 🎧

June was the month of my podcast premiere ✨️

This is in Spotify though, but it marked the beginning of my podcasting life, now if you haven’t listened to the podcast yet, it’s quite alright, you can find it on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music (in some countries it seems), and on Pocket Casts.

June Mini Book Mail: Manga + Light Novel

The happy mail that I love sharing: Book Mail!!!

Welcome, dearies! ✨️📚

I have some book mail to show off…

This is a mini book mail as the name clearly states because I got other things in the same package and only 1 manga and 1 Light Novel along with that.

So, I have never owned a Light Novel, not even on Kindle so I was excited to show of this one: My Happy Marriage. You might know it as: Watashi no shiawase na kekkon, and yes, this is an anime (you can watch it on Ntflix). In any case, it’s super cute, the cover I mean.

The Idhun Chronicles: About the Music of Chris Tara

Do you know about the songs from Idhún? These books also included several wonderful songs by one of the main characters… and it’s all here!

Hello, dearies! 🎶

You know my obsession (love for books) with Idhún is real, so here we are once more… the music in the book is enticing and powerful.

This post is full of spoilers if you haven’t read the books or don’t know about the story. 📚🩷

You have been warned. ⚠️

The Only Cookbook I would consider buying: Stardew Valley

‘Welcome to Stardew Valley, where each season brings a new crop of bountiful food to make for friends and family. From farm staples like veggies, fruit, milk, and eggs to foraged mushrooms and berries to fresh fish, there’s always something delicious to put on the table.’

Hello, dearies! 📖🍴

Stardew Valley upcoming cookbook, official book and filled with all the recipes. Is Darn cute and I want one.

Alas, I saw it recently and I can’t get it on Amazon because they don’t freaking ship to my country? What is this, the 1500? Oh wait, that has nothing to do with it, there has been methods of transportation since forever.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I will have to go look for it on Barnes and Noble or somewhere else, know of a good one? Let me know.
