• Chapter Book:
  
  1. Peter Pan - by J.M. Barrie.
     - Borrowed from APL.
     - Narrated by Christopher Cazenove.
     - The ending is more than Disney's version, I enjoy it.
  2. A Little Princess - by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
     - Borrowed from APL.
     - Narrated by Virginia Leishman.
     - It's an enjoyable story of a strong little girl so kind to kids and people who are less fortunate than she.
     - The ending is different than the movie, captain Crewe was dead!!!
  3. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever - by Barbara Robinson.
     - Borrowed from BPL.
     - Narrated by C.J.Critt.
     - It's a funny story about Christmas pageant with a lots of unexpected hearts.
• Anime:
  
  1. Chihayafuru 2 epi 14-15
     - Crunchy roll.
     - Arata is very strict with himself.
     - The queen is very funny unintentionally :)
     - The last battle for team.
  2. Beast Player Erin rewatch
     - Crunchy Roll.
     - I still like this a lot. I've ordered the current volume of manga #6 from Kino, #7 will be out in May.
• Manga:
  
  1. Amazing Agent Jennifer 1-2 - The End. story by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, and art by Kriss Sison.
     - Borrowed from ILL
     - Fast pace spy story.
     - The cover for volume 2 is the spoiler for ending. I didn't expect the authors to kill of a love interest!
  2. Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries 2 by Story by Hey-jin Jeon and Art by Ki-ha Lee.
     - A mysterious character showed up planning to con to get what he wanted but at the end he got it without conn'ing.
     - Finally, I understand Edwin a bit. He doesn't even know his heart himself. I guess he and Lizzie currently have platonic relationship.
     - From MU, this series is completed with 5 volumes. I wonder if Seven Seas licenses all 5? I hope they do.

Rambling:

• I went Kino yesterday instead of taking advantage of free shipping today, it's faster :). I got:
  
  • Honey Bitter 8 by Miho Obana
  • This series and the next book I picked up because I found this blog about sojei manga The Manga Habit: (there are some BL and shojo, too, but I'm more curious about sojei about relationship and working woman) which discussed this series here, Ane no Kekkon - 姉の結婚 (1-3 volumes) by Keiko Nishi, MU, and the covers are very striking (from amazon.jp)
    
    
    
    
    The main character is a librarian, 39 years old. There is a front page of chapter one where she sat next to piles of books!
  • Yajuu Kanojo - 野獣彼女 (standalone) by Konatsu. The cover amuses me!
    
    
    I flipped through the volume and it seems to have the main story in 2 or 3 chapters, and 1 or 2 (maybe related or not) one shots. I'm sorry for being vague because I don't know myself!
