I blogged about ____ this past week…

This week's question: 
When someone in your life passes do you pick up a book hey liked or one that reminds you of them to read?

My Answer:

This week's question is a sad one. I do have a long list of books that remind me of special people who have passed away. My mom used to encourage my reading and I still have a long list of books she loved that I need to read. I should really get on that. My grandmothers both encouraged my love of dime novels (Harlequin romance).

Manga Monday

Created by Alison Can Read

I don't see it as a current weekly on her blog but she does have a great list of manga's that she's read or reading. Be sure to check her out. 

I'm starting a new one hoping that it will pull me out of my funk. 

Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo 
by Matsuri Akino
Add to (Goodreads) 

Count D has moved his petshop from New Yorks Chinatown to Japan, in this follow-up to the popular Pet Shop of Horrors series. The Count prides himself on selling love in the form of magical creatures. But buyers beware--if the contract is broken, the Count cannot be held responsible.

I'm always looking for suggestions too. 

Anyone else reading a Manga this week?
