Library Wars: Love & War

15 volumes

Licensed by Viz Media, but out of print.

During the 31st year of Seika, the battle between the Library Force and the Media Improvement Committee reached a new level of violence. Each group has armed itself for either the freedom of expression or the "protection" of society from the bad influences of media. Kasahara Iku joins the Library Force with the intent of finding her "Prince" who helped her during a censorship exercise by the Media Improvement Committee and with her strong will of protecting books.

Your 10 (ish) Most Read Authors (According to Storygraph or Whatever System You Use)

What are your ten most Most Read Authors? And how many books have you read by them? Also tag someone who you would like to do this!

Thank you @the-forest-library for tagging me

Here are my Storygraph stats:

Data goes back to 2016. I am sure that data further back would include Marion Zimmer Bradley (I still own 34 of her books and have read more) and Mercedes Lackey (28). I also read a lot of Cornelia Funke (11+), Astrid Lindgren (18), Erich Kästner (13+), and Jonathan Wylie (11 - anybody else know the books? I loved them). And T. Kingfisher will soon move to the list as I already read several books by her and have even more on my physical tbr (13 books in total so far).

Looking at the list, I have to clarify that quantity does not equal love for the author. E.g. I am slowly reading my way through the over 20 The Cat Who mysteries. They are fun, short, easy mysteries and perfect as a palate cleanser or in between when I do not know what to read next. And I did get really annoyed at The Southern Vampire Mysteries (did you know that Sam is not a tall man? I sure do and will never forget because Sookie tells us this in Every. Single. Book! At least once). And Kiiro Yumi is author of a manga with 15 installments which, while fun, just add up like that.

That aside, there are several of my favourite authors on that list: Tamora Pierce, Terry Pratchert, Marc-Uwe Kling, Maggie Stiefvater, and Ben Aaronovitch.

I tag (no pressure) @lizziethereader @books-are-portals @linebetween @clockwork118 @belle-annd-the-book @more-better-words

Library Wars: Love & War

In the near future, the federal government creates a committee to rid society of books it deems unsuitable. The libraries vow to protect their collections, and with the help of local governments, form a military group to defend themselves--the Library Forces!

[hotwaterandmilk]

I've foolishly decided to try collecting some OOP English-language manga volumes this year. I blame Bookwalker for reminding me of so many older titles I now own digitally in Japanese, but don't have in my physical English-language collection.

Doing this sort of thing is always a challenge in terms of sourcing items in decent condition for a reasonable price, but I'd forgotten how much harder it is to get these things here in Australia. Even if I find volumes available online in the US or UK, often the shipping is 3-5 times the cost of the book just to get it here by the shittiest option available.

Still, I'm trying to refine what I own and get rid of things that I'm not passionate about, ensuring my collection is entirely focused on what matters to me. Doing this is part of that whole process, though it's very much a long term thing.

For my own record (and for your amusement I guess) here's what I'm currently tracking down. This is subject to change.

OOP English-language manga I'm currently collecting because I'm a glutton for punishment

Canon by Shiomi Chika, DC-CMX

Volume 1

Volume 2

Volume 4

Dream Saga by Megumi Tachikawa, Tokyopop

Volume 4

Volume 5

Library Wars: Love & War by Kiiro Yumi, VIZ Media

Volume 2

Night of the Beasts by Shiomi Chika, Go! Media Entertainment

Volume 3

Volume 4

Oyayubihime Infinity by Toru Fujieda, DC-CMX

Volume 2

Volume 6

In terms of non-shoujo I'd really love to get the Del-Ray release of ES: Eternal Sabbath because it's easily my favourite work by Soryo though it's a tough one to get. Maybe someday!

Tiny Navajo Writes: Top Ten Authors I've Read the Most Books

Tiny Navajo Writes: Top Ten Authors I’ve Read the Most Books

Hi guys! It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday! TTT was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I quite love today’s theme, I get to fangirl over some of my favourite authors. Granted, these are just the top ten authors that I…
