My Summer Reading Debrief
While summer is’t officially over here in Aotearoa New Zealand, my PhD studies and the general populace’s back-to-work schedule give the feel of it being near its end. We have also had a wet summer at that too, so for those addicted to the sunshine and beach-going weather, it may have been a bit of…

Where Do My Preferences Lie?
This is a good question because I am not so sure I know myself. I have read a lot over the last few years, and I have grown and adapted my reading to what appeals to me more in that moment of life. Things that were once staples have become nostalgic throwbacks, less favoured genres…

Reading Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia Vol. 1 as an eBook
In my quest to read more manga and graphic novels in 2026, I figured I would try reading them as eBooks for a change. In theory, it is brilliant; multiple volumes that aren’t physically owned and circulated by the library system can be read via Libby. I can request them and, when I am available,…

I Read the First Five Volumes of Umi Sakurai’s A Man and His Cat
My next manga in progress is Umi Sakurai’s A Man and His Cat, and I have not stopped smiling since I started it. From the adorably peculiar Fukumaru to the kind and troubled Mr Kanda, the short episodes within this manga are so funny and sweet, I genuinely couldn’t stop smiling over how sappy it…

Wataru Nadatani’s Cat Gamer is Me, and I Need More
I love reading manga, not only because it is a fun medium for storytelling, but because it provides a much-needed break from the text-intensive novels I generally pick up. Yona of the Dawn is a manga I have been reading since maybe 2024, but I have long since passed the stage where I can get…

Reading Children’s Books I Missed Out On
I didn’t realise this until a little bit ago, but I actually missed out on a bunch of iconic children’s books growing up. I never read The Books of Earthsea, The Inheritance Cycle, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Chronicles of Narnia, A Series of Unfortunate Events, or the Spiderwick Chronicles. I have, of course,…

My Yona of the Dawn Manga Series Review
I’m finishing off my month of posts with a manga series recommendation for you all. A few years ago, I started reading Yona of the Dawn by Mizuho Kusanagi and I fell in love. At one point – and I wish I still had the photo to use to show you all – I got…
