Book Read! Haikyu! 8 by Haruichi Furudate

I'm starting to think that vol 6 was just a fluke, or I was just reading it in a bad state of mind or something, because this was absolutely fantastic. I loved this book. I love that we got some of Yamaguchi in there and I'm excited to see them grow, Sugawara has my whole heart... so sad that I don't have vol 9 or have a way to get vol 9 in the near future. I'm gonna suffer.

Book Read! The Gravity of Us by Phil Stamper

This book stressed me out, man, but by the end I was grinning hard it was so cute. I thought the main character was interesting, definitely flawed, definitely had some relatable aspects--I think this book was really hyped before it came out but then I never heard anything about it afterward, which is a shame.

Book Read! High School Debut 1 by Kazune Kawahara

So, due to my feeling that, I don't need to read manga in order like a crazy person, I am deep into this series. And this was, yes, my first time reading the first book. God it's so fucking cute.

Book Read! In the Dark by Richard Laymon

Unironically, this might be the best book by Richard Laymon that I have read, and I've read a good handful at this point. Maybe it was because we didn't get a sleazy POV from the villain, maybe it's because, while there was quite a bit of gross shit, there wasn't as much as usual (and man, I do love the gross shit, I wouldn't continue reading Laymon if I didn't)... I don't know. I liked how the main character got kind of caught up in all the games for a while, because to be honest, he was giving her a ton of money?? Like even by today's standards, holy shit. Also dug the weird random cannibalistic house. And Brace, while incredibly stupidly named, was also like, completely useless, and I kind of liked that. Kind of wish the ending had been better, though.

Book Read! Little Shock of Hate by Clio Evans

Yeah, this is tentacle porn. I did like that Meduso was straight dumb, though.

obligatory new year blog post

-
So, it's 2019. There are a few questions to ask. What did I do last year? I started this blog, and posting regularly. While this isn't like anything very many people read (I average ~20 views a post, hollaaaaaaaa), I do like it, and I think it's a way for people do kind of understand my voice if they're curious on whether I can actually write or not. I mean, this is different from my fiction, but, well, I mention I write in my videos, now you can decide whether I'm kidding myself or not. Speaking of writing, this year's projects were... a novella for class, a first draft, a first draft that I abandoned (i'm sorry i still really like this idea maybe some other time), a decision that I Need To Rewrite The Pet Project Again, a first draft, a revision of what I'm currently calling my best work but I'm looking at another round of revision this coming year, a first draft, a rewrite that taught me yeah I can't do fantasy, and a NaNoWriMo that cons...

the writing year so far

 I mean, it's been going well. I've put out two books so far, and the only reason Class B isn't out is because I just haven't gotten around to uploading the final draft to Amazon and everything. It's done. I'm about 14k into the next Aughts Boys book, which I am a little lukewarm about (it's Kevin, and he's like, kind of meh, for me, honestly), and about 10k into the last Serial Killers with Cookies book. Next month I start a rewrite of a Tinon novella, and the month after I start a rewrite of another standalone. It's going well. I think I'll publish all the books I meant to publish this year--the only one I'm iffy on is Kaz at the Approach . Everything else should be finished with plenty of time to spare, which is not like, generally my experience. Usually I have crossover between years.  It's been a good year so far.
