Do you know what I kept on saying whenever I'd look for books to read or to add to my TBR these days? If it has spice, stay out of my sight. I guess I got a little allergic to reading those books after reading quite an amount of it back then.

By the way, I'm 33 turning 34 this August. I might have read a decent amount of books with spice and smuts in them in the span of nearly a decade. That ended early April of this year.

Was that weird?

in the middle of trying to put my mind in a mode that would allow me to write stories and let me finish chapter 125 of "the last sky of the earth".

i mean, come on.

i really have to finish writing that story already.

(book comment) A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring Volume 1

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I guess you could say I only decided to read this to reminisce and also to see some differences from the anime version, which was the first I watched before reading this. A lot of the scenes here were closer to what I've seen in the anime version. But of course, books contained more details that would never be seen in the anime. I still enjoyed reading this and now I can't wait to read the second volume.

Agri (Goseiger)/Kasumi (Ninninger): Every Memory We Created

Even though you already chose to let go, I'll let every memory we created remain in my heart... --- florence joyce

It was just another crazy moment, in Kasumi's opinion. But it was nothing she couldn't handle. In fact, for the rest of the day, her friends would only curse at how things had ended between her and Agri.

Not that she even mentioned anything crucial about the entire issue. But she was already tired of everything.

Stinger/Hammie (Kyuranger): Always Be Here

I'll always be here, ready to take care of you and protect you in all circumstances. And in every journey we'll decide to take together, remember that I won't ever leave your side... — florence joyce

There were still a lot of things to discuss when it came to the decision that Hammie had come up with. And it wasn't a recent decision that came about on a whim. It did only click to her after she separated with Stinger during their last date. Then again, that was about a month ago.

She hadn't seen him personally ever since. But even if she understood the reason why due to the nature of their current jobs --- her being a teacher and Stinger as the commander of Orion, she could not deny that she missed him so much.

(book comment) Kusunoki's Garden Of Gods Volume 2

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

I mean, the story is still fine. But maybe the whole book proceeded a little slow for me. I still enjoyed it, over all. The same way I enjoyed the anime adaptation.

Just one thing I keep telling to myself whenever I would watch paranormal investigation shows on Youtube (especially on Youtube), never go to the comment section and read other people's opinion on the episode. Because whether you like it or not, there would be people out there ruining it for you with their skepticism and bullshits. That's their opinion, though. Not mine. I can respect that. But it's not the same as actually accepting that. The comments — good or bad — would still ruin them for me. It's bullshit for them, but not for me. It's staged for them, that's not the case for me. I guess this is why I tend to download the episodes instead and watch them offline so that I wouldn't have that urge to look at the comments.

(book comment) The Frontier Lord Begins With Zero Subjects Volume 1

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Enjoyed reading it, even though I only decided to start reading this after seeing the anime adaptation. Why is that, though? But I think I'll worry about that later. What matters to me is that I got to finish reading another book.

(book comment) Heroine? Saint? No, I'm An All-Works Maid! Volume 1

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

This is actually a 4.5 for me. I just love it. So now I'm wondering why I DNF'd it several months ago. I can't recall the reason now. Was that a weird thing to say? But I guess it's okay now. At least I finally finished reading this. I guess I have to thank the anime adaptation of this for igniting my desire to read this again. It paid off, so to speak.

(book comment) "One More Summer" by J. Collette Smith

Thank you so much to the author and also P.S. I Love You PR for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I'm truly grateful to receive this copy ahead of the release date. By the way, I hope I'm not way too early in posting my thoughts about this book. But I can't help it, so here I am.
