Before we get started, I have two thank yous to say. Thank you, Jon Spencer and Ian Wolf. Jon Spencer for recommending me and my blog to Ian Wolf, and Wolf for sending me a free copy of his book for me to read and review. I'm sorry it has taken a while to finally get this up,... Continue Reading →
The Family That Got Me Back Into Anime
It has been a while since I have talked about anime here. Funny since it was partly my love of anime that got me blogging in the first place and how I ended up meeting the amazing folk at OWLS. I stopped actively watching anime in 2020. Since then, I barely watch anything, mostly binge-watching... Continue Reading →
Gone but Not Forgotten: How Fiction Helps Us Remember and Understand the Past
Today is Remembrance Day, a day we remember and give tribute to those we lost in the line of duty. It's a solemn day, to say the least. It is a day for reflection, compassion and, in a way, hope. Here in the UK, The symbol for this day and remembrance is the poppy, as... Continue Reading →
Ace Attorney Read-A-Like
To celebrate the upcoming release of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, I thought it would be fun to give some great books their day in court. There are a surprising about of legal thrillers out there, so I narrowed it down to four that have some of the elements we love about the Ace Attorney games. Hopefully, you will... Continue Reading →
House Husbandry
Why did no one tell me that one of my favourite mangas is getting an anime adaptation? Or the fact that said anime adaptation will be out next month?

I'm not sure if I can claim to be a part of the anime community anymore. I barely watch it these days. It's not that I no longer enjoy anime, but I haven't watched anything new this year. I tend to just rewatch my favourite series on repeat and sometimes check out a show on... Continue Reading →

Autism and Anime
This is the first of my posts I'm doing in collaboration with Crimson over on Read at Night for Mental Health Month. I have talked about living with Autism multiple times but only once in depth, back in September for an OWLS Tour called Autism, Self Care and Other Issues. Even then I was terrified to post...

The banquet is almost ready
Back in High School, when I first got into Manga and Anime my School had a pretty decent collection of Manga which was always expanding during my time there. Being frank the Libary was one of the only good things about my School but that is beside the point. The Libary became my sanctuary as... Continue Reading →
All is Fair (And Funny) in War
One of the reasons I tend to avoid romance stories, namely romcoms is because I get irritated when they overplay the 'will they, won't they' or the 'I won't say I'm in love' troupes. However, an anime that not only plays into it but also exaggerates it to high heaven? Now your talking! Kaguya-sama: Love... Continue Reading →
