Day 30: Your favourite book of all time. It’s a tie between Thieves of Blood by Tim Waggoner and Dune by Frank Herbert. Thank you so much for visiting me today. Until next time, keep reading and keep otakuing. 💜 Hello, friends! If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting me with a one-time Ko-Fi ($3)…
Day 29: A Book everyone hated but you liked. I Am a Cat by Natsume Sōseki. Everyone I know hated it because they felt it was super slow, tedious, had names for characters that didn’t make any sense. But that is the beauty of Sōseki: there was a point to everything, and the story itself…
Day 28: Your favourite title for a book. Asteroid Made of Dragons by G. Derek Adams. It’s awesome. Thank you so much for visiting me today. Until next time, keep reading and keep otakuing. 💜 Hello, friends! If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting me with a one-time Ko-Fi ($3) donation, so that I can…
Day 27: The most surprising plot twist or ending you’ve experienced. The many deaths in A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire #3) by George R.R. Martin. Holy bloody beheadings, Batman, did they make my jaw drop left and right and up and down. Thank you so much for visiting me today.…
Day 26: A book that changed your opinion about something. The Legend of Drizzt saga by R.A. Salvatore from the Forgotten Realms universe was my first sword-and-sorcery series, and it taught me that, not only could I read and enjoy fantasy, but I could wholeheartedly love it. Before then, since my English wasn’t the greatest,…
Day 25: A character that you can relate to the most. Diran Bastiaan, who is the protagonist in the Thieves of Blood trilogy by Tim Waggoner. Like Diran, I have many dark things in my past that I have tried to move forward from by learning from them and working hard to be a better…
Day 24: A book that you wish more people would’ve read. Thieves of Blood by Time Waggoner instantly pops into my mind as it’s phenomenal sword-and-sorcery adult fantasy from the Eberron (similar to Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms) universe. The second (because apparently I can’t just stick with one book for this damned challenge) is Koko…
Day 23: A book you’ve wanted to read for a long time, but still haven’t. I have a feeling that some of you will be surprised with one of my choices here given the author, but I have two books to share. The first one is Blood Rights by Kristen Painter, which I talked about…
Day 22: A book that makes you cry. The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa. THIS BOOK FUCKED ME UP SO BADLY that I am still unable to write a review for it because every single time that I sit down to do it, I fucking bawl my eyes out. With that said, it is…
Day 21: The first novel you remember reading. Oh man, this was sooo long ago, and even then, I’m not sure if it was my first novel. But, either way, the earliest one I can remember is Welcome to Dead House (Goosebumps #1) by R.L. Stine. I was in the fourth or fifth grade of…
Day 20: Favourite romance book. None so far, at least nothing that is strictly from the romance genre as it is not a genre that I read from much at all. Thank you so much for visiting me today. Until next time, keep reading and keep otakuing. 💜 Hello, friends! If you enjoy my content, please…
Day 19: Favourite book turned into a film. I’m going to choose the Japanese live-action TV adaptation of Erased, which is a seinen manga series written by Kei Sanbe. I felt that the TV serial did an excellent job of capturing the suspense and overall essence of the manga, with a much more fitting finale…
Day 18: A book that disappointed you. While I could probably create another bulleted list here, I will just go with my most recent disappointment, which is Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant. This adult marine-focused science-fiction novel was everything that I love in hard, intricate science-fiction books, but the execution was quite undesirable,…
Day 17: Favourite quote from your favourite book. This was SO hard to choose from!! But I managed to narrow it down to one, amazingly. “Despite your best efforts, people are going to be hurt when it’s time for them to be hurt.” –Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood. The quote I’ve shared is something that I…
Day 16: Favourite female character. Yona from the Yona of the Dawn manga series by Mizuho Kusanagi. She’s flawed, beautiful (both internally as well as externally), is compassionate, and far from being a damsel in distress. Thank you so much for visiting me today. Until next time, keep reading and keep otakuing. 💜 Hello, friends! If…
