The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
5.0
What a wonderful read! I enjoyed it immensely. Both the ebook and an audiobook had me spellbound. Even though I've been wishing for less series more standalone novels, in this case I find myself longing for more; maybe a bit more of the world at least. I'm not certain if I'll ever reread the book for it might not have the same magic the second time, but i will always think of it as a favourite.
Jormungand, Volume 1 by Keitaro Takahashi
Follows anime pretty closely. I found that I'd be lost without seeing the anime first. The progression of the action is difficult to follow. Also, the characters just seem more interesting in the anime. Not a big fan of the manga so far. But I'll read one more volume or two, hopefully it might at least grow on me.
Pluto: Urasawa x Tezuka, Vol. 8 by Osamu Tezuka, Naoki Urasawa, Takashi Nagasaki
Great series. Made me cry. Will have to reread at some point.
All You Need is Kill, Vol. 2 by Takeshi Obata, RyĆsuke Takeuchi, Hiroshi Sakurazaka, Yoshitoshi Abe

Artemis by Andy Weir
Not sure how I feel about this book. I finished it quickly, it's not long. And I was engaged enough to finish it quickly. I wasn't crazy about the protagonist, I didn't like her all that much. All the other characters were kind of not-so-believable. I guess, in summary, it was engaging enough to read once but I won't be re-reading it.
