Finally! My new manga arrived today! Together with my little Mashimaro bee! I had to get the package from the post office but that’s fine as long as the package is in good condition.

I’m in a book-reading frenzy again. So much so that I can finish two paperback novels in a day. My voracious reading habits are scary and when I get the urge, there’s no stopping.

I’m currently reading The Elenium Trilogy by David Eddings. I actually read the last book, The Sapphire Rose a few years back. I borrowed it from a friend, and even though I was already reading the last part of the trilogy, I wanted to read the first two books because the story was intriguing.

I suppose that I should be honest and say part of the intrigue was the relationship between Ehlana, the queen and her champion and also protagonist of the books, Sparhawk. The two have a unconventional love story where Ehlana at age six falls in love with her then tutor and guardian, Sparhawk. They were separated but reunited again after ten years and it’s delightful how well the relationship turns out. I think I’ll stop there because any further and I just might blurt out the whole story. Go read it for yourself and enjoy. ^^

I am well and truly addicted. Hooked. Insatiably intrigued. People I know have been constantly telling me to read Death Note and for the life of me I continued stalling by reading other manga titles. I should have been kicking myself back then.

Death Note manga is absolutely hands-down the best manga I have read, ever. I have a soft spot for conniving evil geniuses who plan to rule the world by using their wits and common sense. ^o^
