I just finished my first book for 2010 and realised I didn’t post my read book of 2009. Although I didn’t read that much, I picked good ones. Not all, of course, that would be inhuman but still.…I did good overall.

I want to try something new on you readers. Once in a while I will give my favorite reads in one particular genre.
And as always: comments are welcome. Do you have your own favorites or do you want to comment on mine? Don’t hesitate and let me know!
Kicking of now with manga:
#1: Solanin –one volume strong, this is a great story about growing up and finding your way in the world.
#2: Sorcers & secretaries — two volumes of the humorous struggling between fantasy and reality.
Meiko recently graduated from university and works in a job she hates. Her boyfriend Naruo works part-time and wants to make it in the music business. He doesn’t make enough money to have a roof of his own, so he lives under Meiko’s. One day Meiko decides to quite her job and take some time to think about what she really wants and what part she wants to play in the world. This time off strains the relationship not only financially, but also mentally. Naruo has always depended on Meiko for money and advise, but Meikois in a place where she cannot give either. It will prove that the change Meiko made will not be the only one.
volume 1
It’s Nanami’s second day in high school and she has a hard time making friends. When she sees Yano, the most popular boy in her class, her life isn’t getting any easier: she falls for him immediately. The problem is, she doesn’t know what to think of him. One moment he is very nice to her, the next minute he doesn’t see her. But still, he has her under some kind of spell. Only something has him under a spell as well, and Nanami finds out it isn’t an all good spell: he has a dark secret.
