Date: 2016-07-23 09:43 pm (UTC)Also, Wonder Woman trailer :D Although I do not understand why Chris Pine is the love interest (I just really don't get the world's interest in Chris Pine though). But...I am kind of wondering if he's her Peggy Carter because WW survives to modern day & the film seems to be set in WWII (edit: oops, no it's WWI).

Date: 2016-07-24 11:42 pm (UTC)I didn't know you were planning to read Dark Orbit but I'll bet you'll like it! There's a lot of girls and women you'll dig.
I somehow didn't realize they'd be setting the Wonder Woman film in the past; I thought it was gonna be modern day, like BvS. I have to admit I'm a little excited, even though it was written by dudes, because of the director being a woman.

Date: 2016-07-24 03:30 pm (UTC)I've been sick since Thursday :C Just off-colour type sick where I've been hit with the fatigue stick and can't concentrate or think straight. My last five days before uni and I have done *nothing* to prepare :C Mostly I've been sleeping. And otherwise I've been playing silly app games on my phone. It's sad state of affairs.
I'm ignoring the real world pretty solidly atm. I can't even.

Date: 2016-07-25 03:13 am (UTC)I am definitely resting - I'm just aware that being at uni by 8am tomorrow is going to *suck* so much. My sleep schedule currently is all over the place because if sickness and fatigue so yeah, that will be fun. But it's one day to get through and I don't have classes again this week till Friday. I can do that!

Date: 2016-07-24 11:38 pm (UTC)I read Original Sin, one of the Marvel summer events. It was all right; I liked the fact it was a murder mystery more than I did the superhero bits. Also, it was very weird seeing Nick Fury drawn as a white guy. Next I will probably read the run of The Winter Soldier by Ales Kot.
I'm still plucking away on kimi ni todoke and I read The Star-Touched Queen which was super lush language-wise and reminded me tons of a fairytale; it's central mystery is great, too. I highly recommend it, with the caveat for folks here tired of het romance that it's het romance, but there's tons of other stuff going on re: the main character's arc.
I'm also rereading Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur for FHH, which is super cute.
What I really want to do is go to see Ghostbusters nine more times. I keep remembering it fondly and being happy about it. I was tempted by Star Trek but I kinda want to wait for more people to see it and tell me if it's 2009-Star Trek bad or Into Darkness bad, because if it's the latter I'm gonna miss it.
(also also I wrote another 500 words on Susan birthday gift from last year that I didn't hate so many I will be able to give it to her THIS year.)

Date: 2016-07-25 04:48 am (UTC)However, I managed to finish off Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie and a Regency romance called Winning Lord West by Anna Campbell. I really need to knuckle down and do some more reading if I hope to stay on top of the entries for the Aurealis Awards, though...

Date: 2016-07-26 12:26 am (UTC)Anyways got vol 2-6 of My love Story from the library and read them this week. It gets even cuter. Before this I hadn't read any Manga in ages, now I'd kind of like to read some more. Any recs for other cute ones? Bonus points for things that are finished.

Date: 2016-07-30 10:58 pm (UTC)Other possibilities include "Ouran High School Host Club," "Otomen," and "Tramps Like Us." The latter is a josei (young adult women's) series about a high-achieving female journalist frustrated by sexism at work who lets a down-on-his-luck younger guy who reminds her of her childhood pet dog move in with her, then winds up discovering that it's a lot easier to have a relationship with someone who's already seen you with your hair down (both literally and figuratively) than it is with the supposed dream guy you have to constantly strive to impress.
All the volumes of all these have already been released in English. Unfortunately, "Tramps Like Us" was published by TokyoPop, which went out of business five or six years ago. So unless you can find it at a library that still has manga series that finished appearing before 2010 in its collection, it could be pretty difficult to track down. "Ouran High School Host Club" and "Otomen," on the other hand, were both published by Viz more recently. So all the volumes should still be in print and, hopefully, available through the public library.
