    My two favorite manga series that I've read recently are Witch Hat Atelier (cozy, Ghibli vibes) and Spy x Family (kind of like Mr and Mrs Smith but found family and adorable). If you haven't read them, would definitely recommend them for when you need something cozy!

    I also have the rule of not buying books by the same author if I haven’t read the ones I have on my shelf. I have some exception such as author events and anthologies but I’m pretty good with it. I hope it goes well and all of these books look beautiful!

    As beautiful as Heart of the Sun Warrior is sitting on my shelf. I put it down at the 50% mark… and never went back. Plot was pretty unnecessary and slow. Writing was pretty, but I just completely lost interest. So I’m going to consider the 1st book as a standalone.
    I just finished Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent, which is probably one of the best Fantasy Romances I’ve read in a long time! The plot, world building, and characters got just as much time and attention as the romance. But it’s the first in a 3 book series… which was not the TBR plan for the month! Want to get to Hellbent next and I’m really interested in The Magicians Daughter which releases this week.
    I love the landscape end pages! I would love to see that and world maps way more often!

      I feel you, I didn't even like the first one so I don't intend on reading it, I got the copy (which is beautiful!) because I worked on it so it has sentimental value haha but it's a shame you didn't like it if you loved the first one!

    For the Inheritance Games I would definitely recommend continuing the series! The first book was my favourite but definitely still worth it. There’s also an extra book coming out in August I believe. I think it’s a spin off or a prequel or something :)

  • @meganshultz8909
    @meganshultz8909 Рік тому

    100% agree. I wish there was more landscape art in or on books. It just helps me immerse myself more in the world. Then again, character art helps me visualize the characters.

    Blue flag is a fairly short manga, only 8 volumes, and it’s a queer romance, so you may like that? It has a lot of classic romance tropes; love triangles, drama, miscommunication, which just makes it light and easy to read, as the volumes are just 200 pages.

    The Ex Hex is fun! And has more in the series. For me, it got me back in romance but it also leans more toward the cozy side. The Inheritance Games sounds fantastic! It's on my list now- thanks.

    I started Godkiller as soon as it arrived, I'm 2/3 through now and enjoying it a lot!! Hope you enjoy it when you get to it ^^
    As for manga recs, my current favorite is probably A Bride's Story (or Young Bride's Story, depending on where you live). Set in central asia in the 19th century, it follows a young woman from a nomadic family that marries into a big family in a small town. It's slice of life almost, with entire chapters devoted to baking bread, traditional embroidery or the woodcarving and carpentry that is needed to build a house, and the art is gorgeously detailed

    I read The Measure last year and I LOVED it! In my opinion definitely way better than They Both Die At The End. 🙈 It's not really as dark and psychological as I expected it to be. But I really liked how the author described the way society reacts to all of what's happening. And I think the characters where all really loveable. Hope you enjoy it once you get around to it!
    Also wishing you all the best for your health! ☀️

    I've felt the same! I have had zero luck with comics in the past year almost and have started to fulfil the need for visual books through manga. I looooove Spy x Family, another lesser known ongoing series called Kakuriyo Bed and Breakfast (Spirited Away vibes). I find BL (less explicit ones) to be a good cozy genre; Our Dining Table is my favourite and a standalone, the Restart duology by Cocomi. I also like Magus of the Library, the art is so gorgeous 🥰

    BOOOOKSSS 🐸 I just started When Women Were Dragons like an hour ago, and am already really enjoying it 🐉I DNFed The Last Tale of the Flower Bride because the writing was too *flowery* even for ME and you might hate it... 😬Prayer for the Crown Shy was excellent. Red Scholar's Wake was interesting but also learned the hard way that it's not the first book the author wrote in this universe (although the story is a standalone) and really not a good introduction to it... So, if you're interested maybe try Seven of Infinities first. My feelings about both were mixed, enjoyed but had some issues. The world building is really cool though and the writing is really vivid and descriptive.

    Junito ito also has a book called cat diary (on myshelf to read)

    Manag recommendations:
    the most wholesome manga I know: "Horimiya" (Hori-san to Miyamura-kun) it has about...16 volumes now in Japan, but the main story line fizzles out at around 6.The rest is only there because it's addictive, and nobody can stop reading
    Similar rom-com style and absolutely adorable: "Toradora" (finished series, kind of a classic by now like Horimiya) The nice guy who looks like the son of a mafia boss and everyone is afraid of him. And a tiny, cute girl who is the actual "lion" (tora) with her temper...
    Just an amazing time with action and a lot of humour: "Spy x family"
    Based on I hear the sunspot: "Harukaze no Etranger"
    Basically a road-trip through Iceland: "Go with the clouds, North-by-Northwest" (the art....the art!!!)
    I think all of these work really well as a palette cleanser between dark/heavy/twisted reads. Hopefully you find something that works for you!
