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.

American Royals (#1 American Royals) by Katharine McGee review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished American Royals by Katherine McGee and I LOVED it! If you love scandal and complicated love stories in a contemporary setting, then you will love it as well! Think a royal version of Gossip Girl and you have this book in a nutshell. American Royals follows six characters, all of the new adult age range that come together to create a story of intrigue and romance. There isn’t high action or really a plot outside of the romance which was fine with me as I really enjoy stories just focused on the romance. I appreciated how “American Royals” only focused on the six different characters. There weren’t loads of personalities to get to know, and they all followed the same pattern as they’re all from or have grown up around a certain standing in society. This made the characters easy to follow and understand. It is a character led story, without as I said, much plot.  What there is of a plot of American Royals is taken up with the ascension of ...

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...

Brighid's Quest (Partholon Series #5 Review) by PC Cast Review

Hi ForeverBookers,  This book was good.  It took me about 150 pages to really get in to unfourtunately, and even then I really only enjoyed the last half of the book.  This tells more the story of centaur huntress Brighid, although we do see others stories' within this book as well.  Spoilers below! The first 100 or so pages have nothing to really do with the overall plot. It's just Brighid and Cuchulainn (Cu) going to find the femorians that killed Brenna, Cu's lost love. Cu is hell bent on redemption at first but when he gets to know the "new femorians" he doesn't want to hurt them as most of them are only children without parents. He wants to bring them back to find their own redemption at Macallan Castle with Clan Macallan. The new femorians are given the power of restoration by the Goddess Epona. This kind of does come into play right at the end of the novel but I didn't think we needed everything the author gave us to understand what Cu and Brighid w...
