The struggle I went to, to get this semi-decent looking picture was ridiculous! I had to balance it on my window and then I’d accidentally knock them down with my long ass arms! Anyway on with the book haul!
Books I bought:
- The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith
- Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
- Death note, art by Takeshi Obata and story by Tsugumi Ohba
- Persuasion by Jane Austen
- The Tempest (manga Shakespeare). Illustrated by Paul Duffield.
- Hamlet (manga Shakespeare). Illustrated by Emma Vieceli
- The Good Neighbours by Holly Black and Ted Naifeh
- The Hypernaturals, by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, Brad Walker, Tom Derenick, Andres Guinaldo
Won in Goodread Giveaways: (and received)
- Portraits Of Gilrs I Never Met by Rebecca Rijsdijk
- The Trap by Melanie Raabe
Received for review:
- Steel Victory by J.L Gribble
- Abomination by Jane Dougherty
- Silent Cats- Deadly Dance by JD Wallace
Nice haul. I had no idea that there was something called Manga Shakespeare too.

Neither did I! I found them just after I finished reading another manga adaptation of a classic that I really enjoyed so I picked up two!

Ooo, Deathnote! I haven’t read it but I loved watching the anime, it was a good brain-bender. I haven’t heard how the two compare, but I’ll vouch for the anime!

I really want to watch the anime now! I don’t know whether it matters if I read the manga first or the anime, because I only have the first volume of the manga!

My philosophy is “do whatever you want!” The anime is 37 episodes, so whatever you pick, you’ve got some material to work with!
