In December 2024 I read three books, mostly manga and didn’t finish one. I should have posted this wrap up much sooner but that’s life.

Books:

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire was the first book I read in December. This is the sixth book in the Wayward Children series. We follow Regan who shortly after finding out that she is intersex ends up in the Hooflands, a world filled with centaurs and unicorns. Here she grows into herself and learns that even those who are different are people. Loved this one and felt like the series is coming back to its roots.

Next I read Saiyuki Reload volumes three and four which is a continuation of the Saiyuki series following Sanzo, Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai traveling to stop the daemons that are trying to resurrect Gyumaoh. I still love this series but there is a lot of nostalgia tied to it for me.

The one book I Didn’t finish and don’t plan to was The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I’ve tried to read this book before and couldn’t finish it and tried again for book club but still didn’t like it. Personally I feel like the book is too long and a large chunk on the first 200 pages or so could be cut but the biggest reason I stopped reading was that I just didn’t care about any of the characters.
