Out There Screaming: An Anthology of New Black Horror
This one took me a long time to read. Not because it was bad, but because sometimes reading one story was like being hit by a bus, and then I needed a long break before I went back to it. Horror is a reflection of the writer’s struggles, a very open dialogue about the problems…

My New Boss is Goofy
PLEASE ALL I WANT IS FOR THEM TO KISS Okay. That ‘s out of the way. I fucking love this series. I rewatched the first half with Karen because I was so condiment she would be into it. This series is so soft I can probably be happy watching it once a month even though…

I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss
Y’all have no idea how jazzed I was to see that this is an anime. I’ve read the manga a few times, but the manga stops right after she successfully stops the Demon Lord from changing. Imagine my surprise at the second half of the series!! And I also am collecting the light novel series…

I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! Season 1
Harem Scale H: Yuke has a pretty solid sense of justice. That sense is shared by Clover (the party). A: Yuke is very aware of the fact that he is the only man in a party of women and brings it up repeatedly. He is actively trying to support the women and tries not to…

To Your Eternity 1-21
I’ve always been somewhat in love with this series. And recently I’ve had the joy to get my digital collection up to date— for a long time I only had the ten volumes from a Humble Bundle—and since I was sick, I figured I would slam it back. And my god, did I weep exactly…

Eldritch Lust #2
This one was a lot better! We have a bigger variety of stories and art styles, and they seem to have learned from what didn’t go so well last time. The low contrast red is gone, and as if to prove that they could do it better, it featured another story with that red on…

Lout of the Count’s Family #3
Bro, I hadn’t even seen the announcement come out that #3 was released! (I’m behind on my email, leave me alone) Of course I dropped everything and picked it up. After all, the last book left me off right before Raon got his revenge. This one opens right up there. It’s a bit gruesome but…

Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
