Books # 64
Title: Every Move She Makes
Author: Beverly Barton
Genre:  Contemporary Romance
Grade: F -

Thoughts: Ella is a judge as well as the daughter of a powerful senator and his chair-ridden wife. She gets two letters from a man sent to prison for supposedly murdering his stepfather and holds her father responsible for 15 years of prison time.
 No humor, weird plot/ premise, and every bit as twisted as it seems.

Another horribly written romance novel now in the ‘to be burned’ pile.
Books # 65
Title: Eternal Sabbath (ES) volumes 1-4
Author: Fuyumi Soryo
Genre: Psychological Thriller/ Graphic Novel/ Manga
Grade: A ++

Thoughts: The plot goes something like this: Ryousuke Akiba is an ES, a specimen from a scientific experiment that gave him the ability to control other peoples minds at will, rearranging their memories so that they treat him like family as well as enhancing normal human healing and life expectancy.  All this changes however when he comes across Dr. Mine Kujyou who ends of being one of the few people he can’t read and control. Now the question is: Is Ryousuke the only ES

By the same person that did the wildly popular Shojo series MARS it somehow manages to read and look like the frames of a psychological thriller. It’s memorable artwork and story will make you want to read it over and over again till the next volumes release. Having read the whole 10 volume series before, I’m glad to say that the story stays strong till the very last page and unlike a lot of longer series it doesn’t disappoint.  This has to be my favorite manga series/ artists ever.

If your interested in reading another glowing review from ANN (Anime New Network) on volume 4
