My mood is... bleh. I'm so bleh at everything. Probably because I start classes again on Monday and I know that will leave me with no live again.

SO THIS IS REC POST AGAIN. Rec me something, anything. &hearts

Mm, two of the awesome books I finished recently: The Interpreter by Suki Kim, and The Calligrapher's Daughter by Eugenia Kim. The first one's got awesome layers of family history and an unraveling murder mystery and is about Korean diasporians in the US, and the second traces the story of a girl & her family during the Japanese occupation of Korea from the 19-teens through Pearl Harbor, if you're interested in either of those. ;)

Oh, and I keep meaning to finish watching Shiki, which

coffeeandink pimped here . I've seen and enjoyed the first six eps, even though horror isn't usually my thing; YMMV?

Oooooh, they sound awesome, damn it. Going to hunt for them!

Oh. I think I have heard of that one. I'll check it out!

Thank you so much, dear! &hearts

I keep meaning to do an update about the second half of the series. Short version: Interesting in a lot of ways, but also has three extremely drawn out and gruesome murders of women. (Lots more than three women get killed, and lots more than three men, too, but I figured that was par for the course for a horror anime. The drawn out and gruesome thing is what's so gendered.)

I am currently all over Kimi ni Todoke, but I don't know if it's your kind of thing (l_v_n). It is on the shelf next to High School Debut in my heart, if that helps. I am also head-over-heels for Saiunkoku. Oh! Have you seen The Twelve Kingdoms? (Probably yes, years ago, I am late to all the fandoms.) It seems like your kind of thing.

Also someone just recced me Puella Magi Madoka Magica as being the next big thing like Utena and Princess Tutu, so I am planning to try that out this weekend.

Hmmm. I will check it anyway, I guess it's nothing new in the genre.

Aaah, people are all about KnT, I don't know, maybe I will take a look. XD Saiunkoku! You know, I tried that years ago (like... YEARS), and my friend is a big fan of it, so maybe I have to watch it again. I didn't get too far, but I remember liking a lot of the characters. Yes! 12 Kingdoms is AWESOME indeed. XD &hearts

Ooooooh. Damn. Going to google this for sure. Thank you so much, dear! &hearts
