MY FEBRUARY CURRENT WATCHLIST.

Hi Friends. I recently just got back into watching k-dramas and k-content after a long time and I wanted to post every thing I am watching.

This are the k dramas I am watching:

1. Tale of the nine tailed.

2. True beauty.

3. Pachinko.

4. Navillera.

I will give my thoughts after I have finished watching them but I am enjoying my time so far.

I am also watching anime. I just got into them so I haven't watched a lot.

1. The Apothecary Diaries.

2. Avatar the last Airbender book one : water.

I love the Apothecary Diaries journey I am on and knowing there was anime I just wanted to dive back into the world. For avatar this is because of the live action series, I wanted to refresh my memory before watching the new series.

I am also currently watching a k-variety shows for my Korean language learning experience because I want to listen to real life conversations while studying.

1. Village survival the eight.

2. Kingdom legendary war.

They are very different from each other but so much fun. Village survival is a mystery show and kingdom is an idol survival show. Again will go into depth after watching the whole season.

BOOKS I READ IN JANUARY.

1. Perks of being a wallflower - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

We follow Charlie in highschool as he writes letters to a friend about his life and experiences.

This book is very short thus a quick read and is written in epistolary format and is very slice of life. We just see Charlie through his days in Highschool.

What I loved about this book is our main protagonist who is socially awkward but still very relatable. I also loved the other characters like his friends and family. I loved the music references and currently working on adding them to my playlist.

Highly recommend

2. Apothecary diaries light novel vol 1 and manga vol 1,2 and 3- 🌟🌟🌟🌟.25 ( average rating).

Set in ancient Asia, we follow Maomao as she is kidnapped and sold to the royal palace as a servant girl. She quickly gains attention of the higher-ups as an apothecary after solving a mystery involving the king's infant children.

I am actually a sucker for period pieces and this scratched an itch I had and was very satisfied. Loved Maomao and Jinshi's relationship as they helped each other solving this mysteries in the rear palace.

The light novel vol 1 is a combination of the manga volumes 1,2,3 and 4.

The anime is currently airing and I have just started watching it and so excited to experience this story more.

3. Komi can't communicate vol 1 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

Komi is a beautiful girl who is admired by everyone for her looks but is socially awkward and has social anxiety to the point where she cannot talk to anyone. We follow her as she joins highschool and meets Tadano who is a very regular student and helps her make 100 friends.

This manga was such a breath of fresh air for me. I loved Komi and her budding friendship with Tadano and the journey she is undertaking to make 100 friends. We meet a few of the friends she makes along the way and all are interesting characters.

This is a slice of life comedy with lessons about friendship and life in general.

4. Billy bat vol 1 - 🌟🌟🌟.75.

Kevin Yamagata is a mangaka who writes a manga called Billy bat but soon he realizes that he might be copying an image from Japan that he saw while working in the military. This forces him to go back to Japan to look for the original creator and while there he realizes that this is a conspiracy bigger than what he could imagine.

I started reading this manga because I wanted to get into Urasawa's work and this one intrigued me because it was about art and I enjoy media that explore art. This manga does expand into conspiracies of it's own as we see Billy bat as an entity on its own. It also takes real life major world events in history and incoporates them into the story.

5. The murder of Roger Ackroyd- 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

This is a Hercule Poirot murder mystery. We follow Hercule Poirot as he is tasked with investigating the murder of a good friend.

It is so hard to give a proper synopsis of this book because of spoilers but I loved this book. It is a very typical murder mystery but the twist and how it was revealed was so shocking that I saw this book in a whole new light.

This is not my first Agatha Christie book and it will not be my last.

6. Heartstopper vol 2 - 🌟🌟🌟🌟.

We follow schoolmates Nick and Charlie who become friends after they meet in a class. This is a love story between two boys from different backgrounds.

Vol 2 begins immediately after vol 1 and in this one we see Nick coming to terms with his sexual identity and the blossoming love between him and Charlie.

So... Long post coming up... Kinda.. Not sure but would love to talk about why am here... Well I am a Kenyan girl who loves reading and I began taking my reading journey seriously this year since everything came to a standstill but for a long time I have loved books ( my mum is a huge influence) and ever since I started reading I wanted a place I could vent about books I did not like and gush about those I love... I love reading fantasy books so I am super excited to meet and interact with people who love the same genre.. I also read contemporary books so yeah can't wait to start my book reviews and talk about everything.. Forgive me I feel like I am being repetitive. I also like k dramas and the Korean culture so I will be sharing about those to can't wait.
