Hello! Howās everyoneās week going?
This week Iām going to be reading Obnoxious Hero-Kun (which you can read for free on the Tapas app!) itās soooo good and Iām super excited for this reread since I just got these books and the series just finished.
No matter how excited I am for OHK, my main focus will be Scarlet for my book club with @books-take-flight. Weāre reading the second third of the book, and Iām curious about grand-mĆ©re and Wolf and how Cinder is going to further her goals!
And Iām still trying to finish Sherlock Holmes, but Iām making great progress!! Iām currently reading āThe Musgrave Ritualā which is super interesting as one of the focuses is on a butler, so Iām really curious to see how it turns out. Iāve read a few stories since last week and I think my favorite was āThe Yellow Faceā or āThe Stock-Brokerās Clerkā. Yellow Face is much more sentimental than what youād expect from Sherlock Holmes, but I loved the family story we got. It wasnāt action packed by any means, but I found the husbandās reaction at the end to be heartwarming. And The Stock-Broker was much more of a mystery, centered around a stock-broker with a too good to be true job offer. In his suspicions, he goes to Holmes who is able to clear the air of any mysteries surrounding the job!
The two books I was most excited to read were That Blue Sky Feeling and I Hear the Sunspot. Iāve mentioned both of these several times before, but they deserve the hype so much!!
That Blue Sky Feeling has been on my radar since around the time it got published by Viz and I was thrilled that it met my expectations. Volume 3 was the final volume, and while there are problematic elements (a 26 year old previously dated one of the high school protagonists, for example) this is, in general, a very sweet romance. Noshiro wasnts desperately to not only understand his friend, but the feelings inside of him. Itās very heartwarming and a quick read and I canāt recommend it enough!
And finally, I Hear the Sunspot! I canāt even believe how much I love this series! I almost forced myself to buy it and didnāt really want to read it. But Iām SO glad I did! I canāt get enough of Kohei and Taichiās relationship! They go through the highs and lows of a relationship together and struggle to learn how to care for each other without smothering the other. Taichi wants to learn how to better understand Koheiās inability to hear. But Kohei doesnāt want to be babied, or for his disability to get in the way of their time together. I love them so much, and scoured the Internet after I finished to make SURE there was going to be another volume (there is!) because I couldnāt believe that the series would end on this note. Go read I Hear the Sunspot, you wonāt regret it!!
Thatās it for this week, happy reading!
