The House of My Mother
I heard about this book from a video of the arrest of Jodi Hildebrandt and Ruby Franke. Boze linked Shari Franke’s book, so I decided to read it. There is no better way to see how someone is feeling and dealing with everything than to read it in their own words. (here’s one of Boze’s…

One Room of Happiness Vol. 1-11
The amount of psychic damage I took from this series should b illegal. It’s so heartfelt, so intense at times, that I would put down the series and walk away. I cried at the end for Sachi and Mister. The first few chapters gives the reader a strong impression of this being a kidnapping yandere…

I wanna read the LN… Not to say I didn’t enjoy the anime! I did! I really did enjoy the anime and I looked forward to watching it when I was. It just feels like it lacks more. Maybe I’m just. Uuuh. Silly… Anyway, I put in the first episode.

Trigger Warning: Neglect
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.
