Halloween Reading Update

This post really has nothing to do with Halloween except the date. It's just a catalogue and (very) short thoughts on what I've been reading since my last post.

Life is a little difficult lately, and so the drive to read is lower than normal. Nonetheless, in the last two weeks I've read:

• To Terra (Keiko Takemiya), an awesome vintage space opera with telepaths. It's a three-volume series and I've read the first two, with #3 waiting its turn.
•  A Bride's Story volumes four and five (Kaoru Mori), a historical shojo romance set in central Asia. I've talked about this one briefly before, and I'll probably post something longer when I finish the series.
• 20th Century Boys volume one (Naoko Urasawa). Okay, I actually didn't finish volume one. I'd heard a lot of good stuff about the series, but the art and characters just aren't for me.
• Vinland Saga volume one (Makoto Yukimura), another that I didn't finish. I'm quite disappointed that this one didn't work for me, as it sounded so cool and I loved Planetes by the same author. I should probably do a post about Planetes sometime, though.
• Chocolat volume one (Shin JiSang and Geo), a Korean comedy romance about fangirls and the stars they love. I actually didn't expect to like this one much, and I've had it out of the library for weeks while I read other things. But the first volume is surprisingly fun and I'm looking forward to the rest
• The Summit of the Gods volume one (Yumemakura Baku and Jiro Taniguchi), a story about mountaineering. Another one that's totally out of my normal genre, but interesting. Very atmospheric. It's a five-volume work and I don't have all the volumes yet, but this one will definitely merit a longer post when that time comes.

That's it for now! More review thoughts are coming soon, I promise.
