16 novels, 11 mangas.

This is my peak month in novel reading, and 2nd highest total since May. My reading amount increased lots coz there's a goal I have in mind, so a lil' more focus was put on reading. 👀

;_; I mean yes I love my dude, but consequences would have been Dire had the eff up happened! It was a stressful situation that I'm glad it's over!

My source of BL love and nourishment still come very much from fandom, though I do enjoy BL mangas, danmeis and novels (but for very different reasons).

But hey, if that allows some close normie friends to understand me a little, maybe it's not a bad thing.

Aaaand it's not like I don't want to share, it just feels too complicated to share? u_u I feel like that BL Metamorphosis Granny who wants to share her interest to her group of elderly friends only to realize how hard it is to share, how much it is to explain. It's tough!

Still, it was tougher for me to share my love for BL because it used to be very specific:

My interest is revolved around wanting to see two side characters may not have all the screentime yet seemingly have chemistry smooch.

I rarely have interest in MCs or canon pairs.

I have very mixed feelings in things getting more accessible, though it leans towards more to optimism and awe that BL and danmei are now published and distributed to fans globally.

And that was still back in the days where FF dot net reigns supreme... Ah, so much have changed...

"So you recently read a lot of BL, huh!?"

Darling, I've shipped Hiei/Kurama since I was 12... 🥲

I'm using Goodreads to keep in touch with relatives and friends, and Storygraph to keep track of ALL my readings (I exclude mangas and rereads from GR).

I like Pagebound's spirit and would love to support it, but will need time to see whether it'll stick.

Part of me wants to get over this, but part of me is asking myself to get use to it if I wanna brave into new ventures. =w=

*give this book a read

On the bright side, more time to read!

No better excuse for a rewatch, Raccoon-san! 👀

(My older bro also recommended this movie to me, gonna watch it this weekend.)
