December 2020 Wrap Up

Hi friends! We are finally out of 2020! I know I can’t be the only one that feels happy just knowing that?! Anyway, December was a good month for me. I finally finished a book and think I kicked my reading slumps ass. Remember when I said I would be a bit embarrassed about how much manga I read when this post came out? Well that still rings true lol! If it wasn’t for manga I feel like I would hardly be reading at times.

Other than reading again, nothing else has really changed. I did start playing Stardew Valley on my Switch. I’m a little lost but time flies by when I play it. Blog wise, I’m trying to schedule posts and catch up my blog hopping.

Let’s get into my wrap up for December! 

Music

I’ve just been listing to my 2020 playlist Spotify made for my account. 

TV

I’ve been watching Diabolik Lovers and it’s been a ride. sociopaths are a good word for these brothers. I’m not recommending it, but if you like dark anime and crazy characters that you think can be redeemed then give it a watch. 

Books

Now to the main reason for this post, the books! I read 27 things in December.

Any title that has a * next to it means that it’s coming up in the next few weeks

Horimiya by HERO – I saw that that they were releasing this as an anime this year and wanted to read it. It’s really cute and I love how the main characters are total opposites but have a connection. This has about 14 volumes translated to english with the series still being written.  1/? VOLUMES (series is ongoing)

Ao Haru Ride by Io Sakisaka – I started this series last year but ended up stopping for some reason after volume 6. I’m starting over and can already feel myself getting addicted again. 1/13 VOLUMES 

LDK by Ayu Watanabe – This is another one that I started but didn’t finish (can you tell this an ongoing thing?) Aoi and Shu have so much chemistry and I seriously root for them to be together! 12/24 VOLUMES 

Shortcake Cake by Io Suu Morishita – I was loving this, then I got hit with a love triangle. I was thinking of sticking it out since it’s only 12 volumes, but I’m still unsure. 4/12 VOLUMES

Sweat and Soap by Kintetsu Yamada – I didn’t know what I was getting into when I picked this one up, but I really ended up enjoying it! It’s funny, sex postitive, and a really good series. 1/10 Volumes

So here is my wrap up for December, moving on to January!
