50b. 1 volume of Only the Ring Finger Knows: The Lonely Ring Finger. First sentence: "I mean, what I want to know is, why are there people like that in the world?"

Story by Satoru Kannagi and Art by Hotaru Odagiri

From back cover:
"Are you in love with me?"
In Wataru's imagination, Yuichi said this with a slightly wicked smile. Now he wanted to ask the same question himself. Facing that handsome, roguish face, he wanted to ask him right away.

Some points:
- borrowed from ILL because I thought the manga consisted of 3 volumes!
- There are 2 stories. The first one is the same as the manga. The second one is continuation of the first story.
- Onto 2 and 3.

Bottom line, interesting fast read.


51. 1 volume of Anything but typical. First sentence: "Most people like to talk in their own language".

Story by Nora Raleigh Baskin

Some points:
- borrowed from LPL and this is the cover of the book, the above cover is from amazon.


- I'm curious because I saw the cover from amazon actually.
- Very interesting fast read. It's about a 12 year-old high functioning autistic boy, his everyday life at school, at home, online, interacting or not interacting with other people.
- Yes, it's a work of fiction.
- I'm glad he and some people around him grow by the end of the book in their own way.
- There are lots of acronyms. I wish the author provided an appendix of them.

Bottom line, fast interesting read.
