Ex Libris 2007
I passed my 50-book mark! I read more books last year, but the thing is, I was worried that I won’t be able to read as many books as I want to because of school and other activities, such as my student org.
Of course, the books I read varied, but I still read manga this year. The thing is that I decided to concentrate on certain titles instead, as I have read most of my manga and sold some of them (because I lost interest on some of the titles I bought before). I guess it helped a lot that my friends gave me books on my birthday and I “discovered” authors whose works caught my attention. Anyways, my list under the cut!
