Spy Family, vol. 13 + 14, Tatsuya Endo
This is still a super fun manga! Consistently goofy but with very poignant moments. Volume 14 features a fun murder mystery side plot that had me laughing the whole way through.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm vol 6, Hiromu Arakawa
Fun to return to this after a break. It still feels like it's building up to some more clear, big conflict at this point. There are a LOT of characters to keep track of. But the action is still good!

The Dragonbone Chair, Tad Williams (reread)
My wife got the Broken Binding edition of this series - she didn't like it lol, but I did! Fun to reread after ~15 years😅 VERY slow burn story, a lot of mystery, major cliffhangers for the rest of the series. I'm surprised I remembered as much as I did!

7th Son: Descent, by J. C. Hutchins
Took a long time to get through this one, started it during a beach vacation and just got super stuck. It's fine, 3.5/5, very slow. The main characters are all clones of the villain, all with similar names. I kept losing track of them. Interesting ideas 🤷

I never finished it as a kid because I can't stand the gameplay feel. We SMB3, so we just played that instead haha

Favorite Mix commands
Dragon Power: +20 levels, awesome for some damage calcs
Succubus Kiss: drain HP, calc related to level and magic stat. Easily did 4-5K damage, better than regular Black magic for most of the run.
Death Potion: instant death on non-heavy enemies, including some bosses!

Beyond the Clouds vol 1-5 - I liked it, but mostly just ok
Daemons of the Shadow Realm vol 3-4 - new favorite, great as usual from Arakawa
And that's it - a lot of manga to clear off the to-be-read shelf. Working on some novels next!

The feel of first try, but barely making it, is my favorite 😅 preference toward challenge, though!
