So I ended up deciding just to stay home and take take the week off. So far what have a done not much. Mainly wash. I know how boring, did a little shopping for my daughter some tops to where at her temp job. Then today I helped my brother-in law out he took a wall down so we helped him through the cement into a dumpster. I know that sounds boring but I was having fun. Now all of my muscles hurt. LOL.

So my goal while on vacation was to read at least one manga a day, and then a book. So far I have read two manga a day an no book. But I am enjoying. Since I have so many manga that I have read over the past few weeks I am going to do the usualy few posts. So here goes

Manga Nelphilim, Romance Papa, La Corda D'Orno and Boys over Flowers. 

Yaoi Manga
Well that is all for now.  SInce I am on vacation I am sure I will be posting the others I have read in the next few days.

Have you ever gotten sick of something happening over and over again. Well that is how I am beginning to feel about power outages.
Now that the power is back on and it is still raining I thought I would at least update some more of the manga that I have been reading.

Manga VB Rose, Love Com, Skip Beat 

Yaoi Manga Love Circumstances, Kiss all the boys

I picked up Bleach's dvd vol 11 yesterday so I am sure to be watching that over the next few days :)
So that is all for now.  Still have other manga that I have read and some books that I will post later.

Well it has been a long week.   I am in count down mode for two things on August 1st.   Breaking Dawn the last book for Twilight comes out at Midnight, and  the other on that day is when they started the conversion onto the new computer systems.   I have very mixed emotions about everything.  Looking forward to Breaking Dawn, but not looking forward to the conversion. 
Things I have done this past week.  Other then putting my new computer together still have one program causing me problems at boot up. 
So here is the list of the manga that I have read over the past two weeks.  I still have more to type up.  Getting bad with that.  I also read two books that I will post on there own :)

Manga Bleach, My Heavenly Hockey Club, You're so Cool and Voices of Love

Yaoi Manga
 

Well that is all for now.  Be back later with more manga and books update.

Well as you can see from my last post I was having a rotten time with a virus (dealing with it for a week). At work we funally just reconfigured a new pc for me with XP. So now if I have any issues I can just restore back.

In the meantime things I have been doing not much other then fighting with a virus. Reading some manga, and books. But my daughter is getting me hooked on some Japenese game shows on G4 channel. They are fun to watch. You have to read the subtitles but still they are good.

Manga Ultimate Venus, Reborn, Crimson Hero

Yaoi Manga Manic Love and Cold Sleep Novel 


Tv shows(G4)Ninja Warrior, Unbeatable Banzuke, and (abc) I survived a Japense game show 



Well that is all for now. Be back later with more manga updates. 
reader17: Sawako (Default)
Well as posted before I finally finished The Host.  While reading it the first week or so I did read some manga that I hadn't posted about yet.  Then this weekend I have read a few more.  So they will not be as long.   Also in that time frame since the last time I posted I forgot to write in about going to the movies to see Death Note and Bleach on the big screen.  Loved them.

So here goes my posting for the first few books and movies.

Movies Death Note and Bleach

Death Note


Bleach

Manga - Never give up, Tail of the Moon, Beauty Pop, BODY and Cy Believers



Yaoi Manga Selfish Mr. Mermaid

Well that is all for now.  I will post again in a few days.  Have already read about 10 others. 
reader17: Sawako (Default)
 Wow it's been about two weeks since I last posted.  I have been really busy with work these past two weeks.  Staying late,  have issues connecting at night (to work).  I am reading The Host but I seem to only get a few pages in here and there.   (It's a big book) so it is hard to carry around.  Needless to say I have read a few manga.  That is because they fit in my purse so I can take them anywhere.  And they read fast.  

I will do two seperate posting so as not to bore anyone.  Plus then I can get back to reading The Host.   Now my problem is I have two other books Feast of Fools that I have been waiting for, and the next book in the fairefolk trilogy.  I wish there where more hours in the day.  Some for work,  sleeping, cleaning and then reading.  I need a good 3 or 4 hours added in a day. 

Manga read Black Cat, Inubaka,  and Be with You



Yaoi Manga Yakuza in love

Well that is all for now.  I will write up the other manga that I read at a later time.
reader17: Sawako (Default)
Okay I did it again saying I would post before my pile got to big.  Well it got a little big.    I didn't read any  other books yet.  I picked up my copy of the book   " The Host" and was afraid to start it during the work week, since I heard it was really good I was afraid I wouldn't get any sleep.  

For Mother's Day I requested we go out to Dinner and we did YUMM Red Lobster.  I had a really nice time.  
Manga Honey and Clover, Wild Ones, Skip Beat, S.A, Reborn and Love Com


Yaoi Manga/Novels Say Please, Love Training, The manwho doesn't take of his clothes.


Well that is all for now.   I won't say it anymore about trying to post before the pile gets to big since it just doesn't seem to happen.  (believe it or not most of these I had read already and just didn't post in the last post)
reader17: Sawako (Default)
This is has been an eventful week.   I think the last post I was ready to quit my job a few times, but this week has been much better.


I went out and had ice cream with a friend that was an old co-worker as I was leaving another friend (old co-worker) drove up.  It was really nice seeing them.   I love that when that happens out of the blue you see someone you hadn't seen for awhile and just by a few words it feels like you had only talked yesterday.  No strangeness, no empty space not knowing what to say. 

Also this weekend I tried my hand at my first posting in one of the communities I am in.  I was so nervous. 
I feel like I have gotten somewhere with reading Manga or else I haven't posted for awhile since the pile is big.   So I am only going to talk  about a few  of them, then I will do another post later with the rest.  (The funny part is as fast as I read them I buy another pile that seems to be bigger then what I just read).  Plus I seem to be staying towards the Manga this week I know the Host came out today and don't want to get caught up in another book so when I pick it up I can start reading it.  I heard it was really good.

So here onto the updates.

First I read another book with the theme of Cinderella called: If I Have a Wicked Stepmother Where's my Prince?  by Melissa Kantor

Manga Fever, Me and my Brothers, Gakuen Alice, High School Debut



Manga Yaoi Pet on Duty

Since this post has now turn longer then I thought I will stop here for now.  I have already read 4 other manga and in the middle of another.  So don't be surprised if I don't post something later this week. 


reader17: Sawako (Default)
Okay,  Work was horrible last week.  I think the one day if I could of found anything to apply to on Career Builders or Monster I would of applied right then and there and hoped for an interview.  (But of course nothing was listed in the area I was looking, either commute wise or job wise).  I think it is really going to be hard to find a job when I get laid off later this year.  



As for my Daughter at Deca they had opening ceremony and she went into an Ashtma attack and didn't feel well and was losing her voice.  Luckily she took her nebulizer with her and I packed Tylenol Cold medicine in case anything should come up.   (I always over pack, especially with medicine you never know when something will come up and if you will be able to find a store opened to buy what you need).   I haven't heard from her yet today I hope she is feeling better they had orientation.  Monday is competition so I hope her voice is back.   (SO Good Luck and I hope you feel better if you read this)

So that is my tale about last week.  Yes I got some reading done before all of the mess with packing, lack of sleep and having a minor melt down.

Books Read Cindy Ella By Robin Palmer


Manga June, My Heavenly Hockey Club, Minima


Manga Yaoi Glass Sky


So that is all for now.  I figured I ought to post before I read anymore.  This was a big post just because I was getting stuff of my chest.  Whew.   So I figured I should post what I read so far.  So maybe the next post won't be as big.  Yeah right if I read one book a week and 6 manga and only post once week that is still talking about 7 items.  Going off to fight with the dryer that isn't working up to speed.  Lots of wash to do and lots of reading. 
reader17: Sawako (Default)

Yeah done taxes (of course since it past the 15th) otherwise I would be in trouble.   Finished City of Ashes and read lots of manga this weekend.  It was a lazy weekend I finally got to do what I wanted relax and just read.  I could of read more but the weather was gorgeous on Saturday so sat around outside just enjoying the weather.  Then today I just decided to take a nap next think I knew it was two hours later.  (I guess life caught up to me).  I could still go lay down and sleep some more.

Anyway I shouldn't be napping or reading I should be getting my daughter ready for Georgia.  She is heading off to a Deca competition the end of this week. But this is like me I save everything for the last minute.  Luckily it is mainly doing the wash getting the bigger suitcase out, and packing.  

I haven't watch any Tv except in the morning when Fruit Baskets is on and watch a few minutes of Kodocha.  I just love watching these first thing in the morning.  (But now I am getting out of the house later then I should for work). 

So here is my list it has gotten out of hand so I figured I better start typing.  (Maybe I will split the post and write some of the manga today and some tomorrow).    

Books read City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare


Manga A.I. Revolution, Pschic Power Nanaki, Beauty Pop, Black Cat, The Devil Within, Tactics, I hate you more then anyone.  (Okay so I am writing all of them)

Yaoi Manga and Novel, The prime Minister's Secret Diplomacy, Voice or Noise, Don't worry Mamma

Well that is all for now. Sorry the list is so long.  Most of the manga I read yesterday and today.   I will post again next week.   Going off to read some more. Where to start more manga, or a Young adult book.  Hmmm choices  to many. 
reader17: Sawako (Default)
I finally finished reading my 14 manga before starting my next Young Adult book.   Yes I have started to read a few pages of City of Ashes before this post, and then I was reminded I didn't do my taxes yet.  YUCK!  I hate doing taxes. So tomorrow hopefully I will get together with my sister and then get them all done so I don't forget to do them. 

I also finished watching anime season 1 and season 2 of Get Backers, and two episodes of Wallflower. 

Manga I just read Monkey High, After School Nightmare, Go Go Heaven, and Absolute Boyfriend
Sorry when I write about some of the manga I use the words love alot.  Sorry about that not sure of any other word to use to express how much I enjoy that series.  (Yes I have quite a few favorite series) and the list keeps growing!


Manga Yaoi Dog Style, Roureville (shonen-ai)
(sometimes I write books as yaoi may actually be Shonen-ai.  I may write them up with manga and other times down with Yaoi.  I think it all depends on the mood I am in and if I know the difference (LOL) which means I have to check  online at baka updates or someplace else to know which it is.


Well that is all for now.   Of to read my online stories, or city of ashes, or go to sleep.  (I am leaning towards sleep :) ) oops now another option.  My daughter wants me to watch Alvin and the chipmunks with her.  (I just don't think my eyes will stay opened!)
reader17: Sawako (Default)
Okay I am driving you nuts by now. I have 10 manga down and 4 to go.  I keep thinking it will be easy if I just get time to read.   (LOL try to get time is the hard part).   

Work has me so busy and stressed out.  
My daughter was out at FBLA competition the and came home yesterday she got 7th place.  She was happy.  But since we where in the middle of watching Get Backers we had to pickup where we left off.  
So I am going to post 7 more manga then I will post the last of them when I read the next 4.  
Manga Tears of a Lamb, Tail of the Moon, Reborn, King of Cards, Ouran HIgh School Host Club, Aqua 

Manga Yaoi Everlasting Love

 Just a side note.  For some reason I went out to Julie Kenner website.
That's all for now.  My lunch time is over (which I should of read instead of updated live journal).  Hopefully I will get the next 4 read by this weekend and start City of Ashes.
reader17: Sawako (Default)
Well I was going to post later on Saturday/Sunday but I didn't get a chance .  My Daughter was heading to FBLA competition on Monday and we had gotten the box set of Get Backers (anime) a few weeks earlier. 
I will now go into the book Chosen by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast.  Love this book.   
Chosen  )

Manga Fall in love like a comic, Hands off Don't call us angels, Dazzle

Manga Yaoi Love Bus Stop

Well that is all for now.  Waiting to hear from my Daughter today to see how she makes out at FBLA I hope she does good she sounded like she didn't feel well last night.   I have 7 manga down and 7 more to go before reading more Young Adult.   I thought I would get more done.  But for some reason yesterday I seem to lose track of time.  (I hate that when it happens.  Just like now I thought I would be done in 15 minutes.  Now it is 40 minutes later.  I guess I better get a move on and get ready for work.  LOL.

It's been about a month since my last update.  I was cleaning my house since my son was having a visitor, verizon was coming to install the tv, and Easter ended up being at my house.  

All of the rooms where cleaned


It started with verizon coming then a week before they came my son who is now in college had an online friend who he meet online way back in middle school, come and stay for a few days


I have been reading a little  here and there just haven't had time to update so I am going to post what a read over the next few posts so I don't drive everyone nuts.   

First I will start with A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray.   I started reading this before my son's friend came since I knew she read this series.  (Plus it was recommended to me by Michelle).   


Manga Venus in love and Penguin Revolution


Manga Yaoi Love Share


Oh by the way I am enjoying the Funimation channel that came with the verizon tv. 


Well that is all for now I will cover other books I read either later today or over the next week.  I have one other YA book that I read but my goal is to read 14 manga before starting any other (4 down 10 to go).  So in the next post I will cover that book and then sorry it will be all manga.  Luckily when you get a chance to sit down and read manga the go really fast. 

reader17: Sawako (Default)

 Okay I made quick post yesterday about Yen Press and it's releases.  I have been sick off and on since last week. 


My daughter went away for a Deca competition.  I am so happy for her! The issue today was everytime she tried to call me and tell how it went or how she was doing I was on the phone with someone from work. Yes I know I was at work but I felt really bad that I didn't get to talk to her.  So if she is reading this I hope you did a great job.  Miss you, See ya tomorrow :)

I haven't posted any books since the 17th so the list is long as usual.  I keep thinking if I would post one or two as I get them done then everyone wouldn't have to read such a long post.  Sorry one of these days I will.  So here is my list of books and manga 

Books I have just read two really good books.  Both in different ways,  I didn't want to put either of them down.  One made me wish it wasn't over and had me thinking about it for days after I got done reading it.  The other one I enjoyed and I am happy it has two other books so I can see what happens next.

Books Choices by Deborah Lynn Jacobs and The Salem Witch Tryouts by Kelly McClymer

(I need to start writing when I get done the book instead of waiting until I am about to post) . That is why sometimes I write more about some books then others.  

 Manga Canon,  Platinum Garden, 100 % Perfect Girl, Pearl Pink, Alive, Fujoshi Rumi, Magical JXR


Manga Yaoi Junjo Romantica, Same Cell Organism, After I win

That is all which I guess you are all really glad that this big post is over.   I know no one cares about my opinion on American Idol but does everyone else think that the judges are being harder then normal.  Yes normally Simon is but it seems like Paula and Randy are also being a little harder then normal. 
reader17: Sawako (Default)

Not much going on just trying to catch up on my wash.  Looking for my kids cell phones that they have missed placed.  Found my sons but not my daughters.  (She doesn't take it anywhere so I believe it is still in the house, I hate that when you misplaced something and you know you haven't lost it but you still can not find it).  

It seems I am finally making some headway in reading my manga.  Not that I will ever be close to catching up since I buy more every week.  (maybe when I lose my job later this year I will get caught up while looking for a new job).  I know I haven't read tons of it but I was able to read 9 and the book Beastly (which I really liked).   So here is my list of books and manga from this past week. 

Books Beastly by Alex Flinn I enjoyed this book. It is a modern version of Beauty and the Beast but from the Beast point of view.  

Beastly  )

Manga - Click, Sand Chronicles, Nana, King of the Lamp, S.A., Cipher


Yaoi Manga - Party and Camera Camera Camera

Other things happening I ordered Verizon television yesterday my Dad and Daughter seem to want it.  I am looking forward to the funimation channel (maybe I won't be spending as much money on anime if we can watch them on funimation).  Sure I doubt that would happen but you never know.  
That is all for this week maybe sometime I will have something fun to write (I just like to read, and have a quiet life not much for adventures).
reader17: Sawako (Default)

Normally I post on Thursday but I didn't get a chance.  Since I have read so many Manga I figured I had better post now before the list gets longer.  So I will write about the movie I saw 27 dresses, and the book I read Uninvited first then I will go into the manga so you can skip it if you want. 

Movies I saw 27 dresses this past weekend.  I thought it was good but my daughter fell asleep, but her friend was there and she really enjoyed it.  (So I will take is as my daugher would of enjoyed it if she hadn't been asleep :) )


Books I read Uninvited by Amanda Marrone – I enjoyed this book.   It was different, then what I am  used to reading.


Manga - High School Debut, Love Master A, Reborn,  Love Com, Anima, Skip Beat, Crimson Hero

Manga Yaoi - June Pride, A Kings Lesson

Well that is all for the updates.  Should go and clean or do something constractive, or maybe just go and finish reading click.   (I think that is what I am leaning towards).  

reader17: Sawako (Default)
I had productive week with Reading and watching shows just not productive at anything else. (I guess it is one or the other).  This weekend went and saw Juno in the movie theatre,  watched heroes tv show for the first time, finished watching Bleach Dvd.  Read two books Pandora gets Jealous and Vampire Kisses, and 7 manga's.  I had fun!

So on with the normal weekly update.

Movie Juno - Wasn’t sure about seeing this movie but I’m really glad I did.  
Tv show Heroes - This show is about to go into the third season and my daughter got started watching it recently so she brought season one with her Christmas Money. So we sat down to watch it. 
Heroes  )

Books Pandora gets Jealous and Vampire Kisses

Manga - Chibi Vampire, Bleach, Trinity Blood, The knockout Makers,  and Gauken Alice
I buy a lot of manga. Some of the series are started and I’m waiting on the next volume. Some of them have been out and we just started to read them and others are brand new.   Sometimes I forgot how much I enjoy a series since we are reading so many. 
 
It is taking longer to read the next volume when it comes out since I have this huge pile to read. (I keep trying to come with a system but they never seem to stick. Now I am trying the system read one new series, then one I have had sitting around for a month or two, then new volume out in a series, then one yaoi.) This system will change again I am sure. 
 
Yaoi Manga Vanilla, Love is like a Hurricane
 
Anime Bleach DVD 8

That is all for now.  Not much else to say. 
reader17: Sawako (Default)
Here is my usual weekly update.  I was going to try and do one earlier but things got away from me.  On a happy note I feel like I was able to read more then I have in awhile but when I look back it is probably the same I just feel like I was able  to read.   (I know that sounds silly).  I did start to watch the Bleach dvd volume 8 but only go to watch one episode then it was to late everyone was tired or not feeling well.  So maybe this weekend I can finish it.  Loved the first episode.   

I fell sad that one of my favorite actors has past away.  Unless you are living under a rock or have been away from the TV, news, computer etc you must of heard that Heath Ledger has passed away.   I loved the movie 10 things I hate about you, Knights tale and I enjoyed Cassanova (of course I own all of these).  I did enjoy the Patriot and Brothers Grim.  I have not seen Brokeback Mountain or Four feathers or some of the other movies he has been in. 
rant  )

Strange habit while typing I realized.  I use the word I alot.,  See did it again.  Also I use the word really alot.  (I'm trying to stop but the more I try it seems the more I use those words).  It is starting to drive me nuts! :-)

Anyway I will start out with my updates haven't watched any movies since last week.  We did buy Dance revolution for the Wii and I have realized how out of shape I am. Got all F's.  So I only finished one book and read some manga plus I cleaned out all of my files from 1990's,2004, 2005 just have to shred everything, filed 2006 and 2007 and my cabinet is now ready for 2008.  (Now I have no excuse to have tons of paperwork laying around).  

Book - I'd Tell you I love you but then I'd have to Kill You by Ally Carter - I liked this book

Manga - Love Attack, Boys over Flowers, Rure, Let Dai

Manga Yaoi - Duetto- Cutie Beast 
Well that is all for now.  I will update later whenever I have something new to say.  (Most likely next week) 



reader17: Sawako (Default)

I was able to go to the movies this weekend and see Enchanted, also I got to read some manga, and start another book. 

This week has been different I work strange shifts about 6 hours during the day and 2 to 3 hours at night, and I try to nap between since my commute is kinda long and I don't want to fall asleep at the wheel while driving. 


Good thing that happened my daughter was in a FBLA competition last Thursday night and she won first place.  I was very proud and happy for her,  She was so excited!  I have promised to take her out to dinner and tonight was the first available night and of course it is snowing (It hasn't snowed at all this year).  Her next step is competition in Hershey I hope she does good, if not I am still proud of her. 

Guilty pleasure or should I just say guilty.  Yes I have watched American Idol the past two nights.  

So onto my updates of Movies and Manga 

First stop Movie Enchanted 


Manga - Hana Kimi, Wallflower, La Corda, Bride of the Water God and Suppli

Manga Yaoi (if you do not know what Yaoi is or like it do not read on)

I can't wait to watch Bleach DVD 8 we picked it up this past weekend and haven't had a chance to watch it. Well that is all for now I will update later.  Hopefully I will get some sleep tonight.
