I review The Husky and His White Cat Shizun vol 7 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou. Endless battles, not-so-final bosses, and stunning revelations. Entertaining as always, but a bit long.

My first book review of the year is Thousand Autumns vol. 3 by Meng Xi Shi. Another great volume, with interesting developments, but still no romance.

I review vol 4 of The Husky and His White Cat Shizun by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou. Such exquisite torment of two people in love who can't communicate. Best volume so far.

I review Heaven Official's Blessing vol. 8 by Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù. The story of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng has come to a rather uneventful end. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/12/heaven-officials-blessing-vol-8-by-mo.html

My latest book review is up: A Bright Heart by Kate Chenli. A reincarnation revenge story in style of Asian light novels that didn't quite meet my expectations. Out this week. https://susannashore.blogspot.com/2023/10/a-bright-heart-by-kate-chenli-review.html
