Becca’s Bookopolothon WRAP UP!

For this weekend, I read 3 mangas and one graphic novel. I enjoyed something from all of them! I have them all 3 stars and above! 


Inuyasha Vizbig 3 (5 Stars) - I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this!!!!


Inuyasha and Kagome continue their quest to find the Shikon Jewel shards, as well as meeting new friends...It continues the action, comedy and touching moments the other volumes had! I read this as the first book for Becca’s Bookopolothon- fantasy. I’d say there’s more emotion/longing between the two main characters, Inuyasha and Kagome in the manga than in the anime. Sesshomaru is still present and I love his character so...❤️! Jaken is 😂😂😂 too!


I also love the art from this series!


Fence volume 1 (4 Stars) - I enjoyed this! 


I read it for Contemporary for Becca’s Bookopolothon! I’ll pick up volume 2! 


I really enjoyed this! I wondered if it would be my thing because it’s a sports graphic novel but I really found it focused much more on the characters than the fencing, which was nice. Nicholas, the main character attends a fencing school, where he has to face his “golden-boy” older brother, as well as a mysterious opponent. I think they’ll be a gay romance between these two, which I’ll be living for...


I love the coloured art too. I normally read manga which are black and white, rather than coloured so I really enjoyed how it was in colour.


Spice And Wolf vol 1 (3.5 Stars) - Read for “First In A Series” for Becca’s Bookopolothon!


This was a reread. We follow Laurence, a travelling merchant and the start of his adventure with Holo the wolf. I enjoyed this, although some of the money talk went over my head. I’ve watched the anime, the 2 seasons of it that were made, so I understood it well enough as this volume is a part of the anime. 


The art style is super cute! I laughed a few times too, so it’s also comical.


Not for young children, as there’s nudity, as well as them not understanding it all.


Deadman Wonderland vol 1 (3 Stars) - I read this for “other (outside your usual genres)” for Becca’s Bookopolothon. It was a VERY quick read! 


We follow Ganta, a young boy who’s charged with the murders of his class at the beginning of the book! He’s therefore sent to Deadman Wonderland, a prison theme park...will he survive? You’ll have to read to find out...


I probably won’t pick up the next volume. It was okay but not a new favourite or anything.

City Of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments Book 2) by Cassandra Clare Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  I've just finished reading City Of Ashes and it was really good! I've read this book before again and I didn't think it was very good last time but now I think differently. It had everything from fighting demons, to laugh out loud parts, to heartfelt moments. The story starts from where City Of Bones finished so there will be minor spoilers below.  The characters continue developing in this second book. For example, Clary's best friend, Simon really takes on a new role as a vampire, as well as the other characters maturing too. This was good to see as it gave the story different levels that we haven't seen before. I especially enjoyed reading about Simon's transformations. There's a new character called Maia, who is a werewolf. There's some antagonism between Simon and her as in this series vampires and werewolves don't get on.   We meet Alec and Isabelle's parents here. Maryse, their mother is a strong character, who is angry...

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  How are you all today? I've just finished a great contemporary book! 4 Stars! NOTE: There are scenes of abuse and bullying in Big Little Lies so if you're sensitive about either of those topics this book maybe isn't for you.  Big Little Lies tells several stories at once. There's the story about the trivia night that runs throughout, the story of who one of the main character's father is, the story of an abuse victim, a story of a teenage girl putting her virginity up for sail in the internet and the main story for most of the book, little children lying about who bullied another child. All these stories were handled well.  We see the characters, both major and minor be interviewed throughout because of the murder that happened on trivia night. I'll be honest in saying that at the beginning of the book I thought that another character had been killed so it was a surprise to read what actually had happened.  Spoilers belo...

Larchfield by Polly Clark Review

Hi ForeverBookers, I've just finished Larchfield. It was a good story of hope, loss, finding oneself and redemption. I believe this is a standalone also.  I got Larchfield through NetGalley so thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read it! It releases on March 23rd 2017!  NOTE: there are adult situations in Larchfield!  3 Stars!  Larchfield tells the story of two characters. One, Wystan is a relative of WH Auden. He's also a writer. He's going to Scotland to work at Larchfield, a boys school. We see him struggle with who he's meant to be throughout the novel. The other character is called Dora, also a writer. She's a married, pregnant woman at the beginning of Larchfield. Her and her husband have just moved house, to a place on the sea. However, not all is right with Dora who experiences set backs throughout Larchfield.  Spoilers below... Wystan is gay. We see this quite early on in the novel. Working at a boys school put...
