duckprintspressGosh, I'm off to a strong start to my reading year in 2023! This is unusual for me, lol.
On Saturday, I finished volume 2 of the English translation of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun.
I then almost forgot to put it in, lol. It's interesting doing this with the kinds of books I read, because so many of them fit multiple squares - all the danmei is poc author, non-western setting, lgbtq+, more than 300 pages, and many count as other things too - historical, fantasy, sci-fi, in the case of 2ha I'd say it counts as banned (considering that it was censored off JJWXC), and 2ha does count as "made into a TV series" even if HAO YI XING STILL ISN'T OUT AAARGH, and...yeah. At least, because they're all so multi-purpose, I actually have a decent chance of getting a bingo!
Anyway I don't have the brain to write much about 2ha. This is yet another reread for me, but my next book won't be - I'll be starting "Little Mushroom" by Shisi probably today (and I expect I'll use it for the "sci-fi" square).
Onward to my Year O' Reading!
