#TomeTopple Update! I finished my second tome almost three hours ago with my reading buddy on Twitter. #OrangeTheCompleteCollection Volume 2 was pretty good! I really enjoyed the story told in #Orange. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! ๐โค . . . . I do wish we could have been told more about the changed future for Naho, Suwa, Kakeru, Azu, Taka, and Hagita. But I'll still give this story four stars. ๐โญโญโญโญโค . . . . After Orange, there was a short story called #HaruiroAstronaut. It was rather confusing, as two of the guys were drawn such that they looked almost exactly like Kakeru and Suwa! And the main characters - twins, Chiki and Mami - looked like a cross between Naho and Azu! And not all of the characters could tell the twins apart, so there was confusion there, too. I'd give this story maybe 3.5 stars, but the whole book is going to get four stars. ๐โค . . . . I'm also still reading For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison. You can see it in Photo Two! I didn't read much yesterday, and I've read even less today, but I'm going to read more now, while my Max sleeps beside me. ๐โค๐ . . . . #TomeTopple7 Stats to Date: ~1,046 pages read (plus 102 in For a Few Demons More), 2 books completed, 3 reading challenges DONE! ๐๐๐โค . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #IchigoTakano #KimHarrison #books #OrangeVolume2 #ForaFewDemonsMore #series #OrangeManga #TheHollows https://www.instagram.com/p/BqeFKT4DeMq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=akx31kef0q4o

This NEW photo is for the November 21st #TomeTopple #TomeToppleChallenge - #TowerofTomes - and #jayjaysbookishbirthday - #Friendsgiving - AND #bookscoasttocoastnov - #FavoriteFictionalFamily! ๐๐โค . . . . It's not a very tall Tower of Tomes, but these seven books were heavy! You can kinda see my hand holding them upright on the bottom left! ๐๐โค . . . . I would more or less happily attend Friendsgiving celebrations with any of the friend groups in these three series: #TheHollows with Rachel, Ivy, and Jenks; #Orange with Naho, Kakeru, Azu, Hagita, Taka, and Suwa; or #HarryPotter with Harry, Ron, and Hermione! ๐๐โค . . . . And for Favorite Fictional Family, I really think the Weasleys in the #HarryPotterSeries by #JKRowling might be my very favorite. I desperately want to be adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. ๐โค . . . . I apologize for the fact that the books are blurry. As I said, I had to hold the books upright. Either I wasn't holding them steady or my camera was focused on Max, but as he looks kinda blurry, too... ๐ค๐ค๐ค . . . . #DogsofInstagram #CurrentRead #bookstagram #KimHarrison #IchigoTakano #books #ForaFewDemonsMore #OrangeTheCompleteCollection #series #TheHollowsSeries #OrangeManga #manga https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqd4-pUj1fE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lzwvp1kls6bo

This is November 19th's post for the #TomeTopple #TomeToppleChallenge - #PreviouslyToppledTomes - and #jayjaysbookishbirthday - #AllPlannedOut - AND #bookscoasttocoastnov - #SquadGoals! ๐๐โค . . . . For today's daily #TomeTopple7 challenge, my Previously Toppled Tomes that I both own and still have from the library are on the right. They're stacked in order from most recently read to first read, top to bottom. ๐๐โค . . . . On top is the tome I finished just last night: #OrangeTheCompleteCollection Volume 1 by #IchigoTakano! Then we have #HarryPotterSeries books seven through Four, which were read in #TomeTopple6. And on the bottom we have #CrimsonDeath by #LaurellKHamilton and #TheNameoftheWind by #PatrickRothfuss , which were read in August of 2017's Tome Topple, my first. ๐๐โค . . . . The only two of these editions that I've actually read are the first volume of Orange: The Complete Collection and Crimson Death. The others were all purchased after the Tome Topples in which I read them. ๐โค . . . . For #jayjaysbookishbirthday All Planned Out task, I present to you my Plan for Reading #Orange! I read Volume 1 over three days - one Part per day - and I'm tentatively planning to read Volume 2 the same way! If my buddy read partner agrees. ๐โค . . . . And for #bookscoasttocoastnov Squad Goals task, I present to you the two squads in my #CurrentReads! In Orange, Volume 2, the friendship between Naho, Kakeru, Suwa, Hagita, Azu, and Taka is fabulous! I especially loved how they all contributed to a special message to give to Kakeru in the relay race. ๐โค . . . . And in #ForaFewDemonsMore by #KimHarrison, I would love to count Rachel Morgan, Ivy Tamwood, and Jenks among my friends. Their friendship is #GOALS, too! ๐๐โค . . . . Lastly, it's now technically 12:10a on November 20th. I apologize for posting my November 19th post late, but I was participating in a reading sprint and it only ended at 11:45p. And I'm not the fastest typer on my phone's tiny keyboard. ๐ . . . . I was reading For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison in the sprint, though, and I made it to page 66! Now to finish Chapter Five and then I can go to sleep. Good night! ๐๐ด https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZK2CCHaf8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lnsl6oyv5ncw

Today's November 16th photo serves THREE purposes! #JayJaysbookishbirthday - #FantasyFun - and #bookscoasttocoastnov - #FlatlayFriday - AND the #TomeToppleChallenge - #TomeToppleTBR! ๐๐โค . . . . #TomeTopple7 started almost 20 hours ago for me, at midnight on November 16th! It runs through 11:59p on November 29th. And these times are for you, too, in whatever time zone you're in! ๐โค . . . . The books in the first photo are what I'm mostly hoping to read in this round of #TomeTopple. #TheWasteLands by #StephenKing is NOT a tome in this edition (422 pages), but I'm still reading it, so that's why it's in this #TBR Photo. Earlier today I made it past the halfway point! Tomorrow I'll start Book Two on page 219. ๐๐โค . . . . I stopped reading The Waste Lands at dinnertime so as to start my first tome, #OrangeTheCompleteCollection: Volume 1, by #IchigoTakano! I'm hoping to finish this book no later than Sunday so that I can start Volume 2 on Monday! ๐๐โค . . . . I'm also planning on reading the next three Hollows series books by #KimHarrison during this two-week 'thon. #ForaFewDemonsMore (512pp), #TheOutlawDemonWails (496pp), and #WhiteWitchBlackCurse (549pp) aren't all +500-page books, but The Outlaw Demon Wails is close and since together the three books add up to 1,557 pages, I'm going to count all three as Tome Topple reads! ๐๐โค . . . . Lastly, #It by Stephen King is in this photo, too. I'm still on page 251 in it, having read NOTHING since November 4th. ๐๐ I'd kinda like to finish it this month, so a Tome Topple read it might be. ๐ค . . . . For #FantasyFun, all but one of these books are fantastical in some way. Do you know all of their genres? ๐ค๐๐โค . . . . And for #FlatlayFriday, it should be obvious that I laid the books flat on my bed for this photo! ๐๐โค . . . . Turn to Photo Two if you'd like to see my Max looking at me! I had to pretend to fall forward onto the bed to get this shot. ๐คฃ๐โค . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #books #series #CurrentRead #TheDarkTower #TheDarkTowerSeries #CurrentlyReading #Orange #OrangeSeries #TheHollows #TheHollowsSeries https://www.instagram.com/p/BqRBn1nHJbN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rvchm8gm6dj5
