Thank you 🥰

Yay, I hope you enjoy it! It's a quick and somewhat easy read ❤

Thank you ❤ I think having messy shelves or rooms is pretty standard for collectors lol. My shelves are organized but there are books all over the place 😌 can't have it all it seems, you win some and lose some 🤣

Enjoy your read! I loved the first volume and can't wait to read more of the series ❤

I'm so glad you're enjoying Don't Call It Mystery! Wow, you've made a lot of progress with your collection, I had a similar goal to read 75% of my collection this year but I've lost track of it now lol 😅 happy to provide a dopamine hit anytime haha and I hope you have a lovely week as well ☺

Thanks for the comment and I'm happy to see more danmei fans here! 🥰

I hope you enjoyed the review ☺❤

I often struggle to explain why exactly I don't like them together so I totally understand 😌

Hahaha, thank you so much ☺ A book lover telling me they trust my opinion is such a lovely compliment! I've gotten a lot of amazing recommendations as a result of sharing what I read as well, so it goes both ways ❤

Thank you so much 🥰 it's a lovely hobby for sure, do you journal?

@@thewhelmedlife I used to!! Thank you for responding 🙏

yay, do it!! It has been such a relaxing hobby for me ☺

Thank you 🥰 I'm really satisfied with how it turned out.

it's our dawn is hotter than day!

that's awesome! I hope you have fun personalizing your journal. Do let me know if there's anything I can help with 🤗

@@thewhelmedlife Thank you Thank you ! I’ll definitely try the zebra pens that you showed as I recently tried a grayish blue gel pen (for drawing but I write with it too) which is a nice change from the classic black but I couldn’t really find any other color that I liked, this brand seems to have color I could use pretty frequently so that’s nice

@@DrawYouIO another brand of pens with different colors you can try are the Sakura gelly roll pens. You'll have a lot of options between those two.

@@thewhelmedlife Oh cool, I’ll check that out too then ! Thank you again (*^▽^*)

haha, one just can't resist all the lovely planners and stationery out there. Hobbies like reading and journaling have honestly been a lifesaver for me this year so I'm happy to see other people enjoying the same things. ☺ I really like the Writech gel pens, and they come in different styles, so you have options

Btw, I'm new to the hobonichi world but very curious haha. Have you used them for a while? Which one are you planning to use for 2025?

@@intin5410 thanks for the rec! ♥️ Looks like the order is already closed for this one, I’ll note it down and see if I can pick it up some other time 🤗

hahaha, I encourage it! I'll be doing the same thing very soon 😌

What are the chances! I also borrowed 20 volumes of Yona of the Dawn from the library last month, I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet. If my information is accurate, Via Lactea usually does a sale around Christmas so that'll be a good time to pick up some of their titles. I have both of those dramas on my list haha, are you enjoying one more than the other?

Lol, thank you ☺ that's a very lovely compliment cos I apparently love talking 😂

hahahhaa I really enjoyed it way more than I expected, it will be a good one to get licensed!

It is a very well-written story and just keeps getting better, so it will more than likely remain your favorite 😊

I can talk endlessly about 2ha 😂but I do agree with you. Rong Jiu is the other example I usually bring up in comparison to Song Quitong. I won't go as far as saying Rong Jiu deserved what Mo Ran did to him seeing as he was just someone fighting for his own survival as well but both situations feel very different.

I highly recommend taking notes while reading; not just to remember the plot, but it also helps with critical analysis. It definitely helps with keeping track of reading multiple series at once though!

I did manage to find a fan translation I'd downloaded last year and finished reading it as well! Definitely now in my top favorite danmei alongside Erha. Like you, I could yap on and on about the series, but I'll save that for my reread as it gets officially released ❤

Nice! How're you liking it so far?

A hidden gem indeed and it just keeps getting better! Happy to hear you enjoyed it ☺

Fr, I was sobbing 😭

I agree completely, she really has a way with words. Through all of Mo Xi's hurt, you can see a man who loved, was betrayed by that love but still held on to the hope that there was something he was missing. Reading his POV was torturous but this volume shows you that Gu Mang is worthy of that love and trust. It's sad and beautiful at the same time 😭

The confession was the first thing I read in the volume 😂 and then I read it again after reading the book from the beginning, I'll more than likely read it again before I start the next volume lol. As for Mo Ran's involvement in the Nangong Si/Song Quitong wedding, I do understand his concern and the reason he felt like he had to do that. But he achieved his goal by forcing her into a situation she had no way of getting out of, all while knowing she was innocent. To use Rong Jiu as another example, that was someone who was actually planning to do the same thing they did in the 0.5 timeline and never really looked like he was going to change for the better going by his actions in the underworld arc. The two situations feel very different. There is no way to know for sure, but it didn't seem like the current Song Quitong was heading towards the person she was in the 0.5 timeline.

A whole lot happened, can't even remember all of it now 😅 but I really enjoyed the character development!

You get it! He's an amazing character ❤

I'll try to read the first volume this month and let you know! 🥰

hahahhaa I totall understand that! I'm reading the 2nd volume right now to recover from the pain reading remnants of filth put me through 🥲

That's awesome, I really wanted the box set so I'm happy I now have it! I get what you mean, the series fills me with so much nostalgia ❤

No problem, I've worked as an engineer for nearly seven years 🙂 Blood on the Tracks is a bit different from what I usually read but I enjoyed it!

Thank you ☺ Yes, definitely give lullaby of the dawn a read, I'll love to hear your thoughts on it. I haven't heard of that yuri title, so I'll definitely check it out, thanks for the rec!!

Haha, enjoy!! I loved it ❤

I don't even mind the late delivery, it's the lack of communication that's annoying but I enjoyed the first volume of Mobsters in Love! I have yet to read Kei x Yaku, really looking forward to it though 😆
