• Chapter Book:
  
  1. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
     - borrowed from bpl
     - read by Jim Fyfe.
     - I usually avoid this type of stories, coming of age, teenager boys, fighting, different groups! Before reading, I went to Wiki and spoiled for myself! I don't want surprises.
     - I choose to waddle through this book because someone I know is reading for English class assignment so I'm curious.
     - It's a very good book. I like how the book portrays the characters as individuals with good points and bad points and not demonizing the other side. The story is told through a boy on the poor side of town. There was a big rivalry between poor kids and rich kids.
     - I'm glad I read it, but I felt tensed!
  2. Relisten The Prydain Chronicles 3: The Castle of Llyr by Lloy Alexander
     - borrowed from bpl, overdrive
     - read by James Langston.
     - Still delightful read.
     - Taran!!!!!
• Manga:
  
  1. Inu x Boku SS 1-3 by Cocoa Fujiwara
     - borrowed from ill
     - fast and furious read because I let they sat there for 6 weeks!!!!
     - I understand Ririchiyo a bit now. I still find Soushi's servile attitudes a bit creepy, given how he'd lead his life so far to get here, it should be surprising, still it's not easy to read about.
     - Comparing to Soushi, Kagerou should be creepier, I don't get him at all. Maybe he's tsundere and awkward, doesn't know how to connect or communicate with others?
     - I like Renshou and Banri :)
     - Another mysterious character is Zange!
     - borrowed up to volume 7 from ILL
  2. Karneval 1 by Touya Mikanagi
     - borrowed from ILL
     - Just like above books, this one sat on the pile for 6 weeks.
     - Well, it seems to be a mystery. The anime is available on Funimation, maybe I'll watch that first before reading more.
     - Jury is out.
  3. Barakamon 8 by Satsuki Yoshino
     - Thanks lyschan
     - Another great volume.
