The first half of this month was relatively quiet and then we got to the half term and everything got super busy. But I finished playing Digimon: Time Stranger, so I’m pretty satisfied with how I’ve been spending my time. I started the Ghost of Yotei expansion and bought myself Village in the Shade since I worked some extra hours. Now we’ve gotten out of the Summer and overly hot weather, I find myself gravitating toward games more. Plus, the Ocarina of Time remake is out next week and I am so incredibly excited about that. Anyway, books! Let’s see what I’ve been reading in October.

I feel like the manga numbers are bulked out with seralisations ending again, but still quite a lot of volumes read over the course of the month. More than I expected! Kept up with my light novel reading as well, I probably would have gotten up to 7 or 8 if not for reading quite long books. I’ve got a volume of Agents of the Four Seasons on the go that’s almost finished, as well as one of J-Novel Club’s recent BL releases and another LN in Japanese that I was over halfway through.

Since November is Scotland Love’s Anime time, I imagine my reading will decrease significantly. Especially with wanting to play Ocarina of Time next week. But come back next month and we shall find out together~
