keilexandraSorry about the dearth of booklog posts; for various reasons, I haven't been getting much read. Frankenstein must be finished by Thursday, though, and I have a lot of half-finished stuff. Including the Logorrhea anthology, which shall be much fun to discuss! The stories in it are varied and fascinating.
Fruits Basket vol. 19
by Natsuki Takaya
? pages (paperback)
Genre: Fiction/Graphic Novel
I don't have much to say, really; manga for me is pure speed-fluff. Volume 19 reintroduces a lot of long-absent characters--Kisa! and just about everyone in the Zodiac--which was nice. The series is winding down well and Tohru/Kyo is definitely growing on me. They are so obviously and obliviously cute together!
Negatives: I found the plot spacey and hard to comprehend, maybe because I read the whole book in an hour. There's a lot of random thinking panels where it's not clear who is thinking. And some of the minor female characters look exactly the same when they smile. But, um, I've had 3-4 straight nights of less than 6 hours sleep a night. Not entirely coherent right now.
That's about it. Wish I could say that I'm off to bed, but I still have things to do.
