The busy summer season has finally concluded, and now we go into autumn, where I’m excited to be able to spend more time on hobby stuff and am being completely unrealistic about all the things I will achieve. Still, I feel pretty accomplished this month too. I might not have been as on top of my hobbies as I’d like (just trying to watch my J-dramas before they expired on TVer has been a lot…), but actually when I’m tired I do tend to just read a stack of books, so that works out somehow. Anyways let’s take a look at what I’ve been reading!

Not a bad month if I do say so myself, I even cleared out a Japanese LN! Quite a few binge reads when it comes to manga since I’m continuing my concentrated quest to clear out backlog by going through my Anime-Planet to update entries. I’m only up to the B’s (as you can probably tell from all the Blue Lock), but that’s still 3-4 pages looked through already~ I wonder if 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 will continue, #3 doesn’t really feel like the end. I’m probably sadder about that ending than anything else I finished this month.
