What I Read in June 2023

(via Frankenstein Daily) I thought honestly that every character gets done dirty in most movie adaptations, and also that if Viktor stopped having fevers every five seconds things might have not gone so badly.  

I really liked this one, where it didn’t romanticize his disability but also didn’t focus only on the negatives either, and also how the author let our main girl actually have a voice when she wishes to express her feelings. 

I want to smack both this poor girls families. 

result of my brain deciding that harry potter was my new hyper focus subject. ^_^’ (I enjoy the books, please do not infer that I agree with or support the author in anyway.)

A fun beginning, should be interesting to see where it goes.

I enjoyed this volume, would like to have more of a look into his view of finding out he turns into a tiger though.

these were quite fun, I love this video game stuff, interesting that he’s the only one “playing” so far.

So good! (pulled the other two out of my closet to read right after finishing. )

still loving this series and how attached everyone is getting to each other.

Lenni Reviews: "Perfect World" Vol. 5, by Rie Aruga

Lenni Reviews: “Perfect World” Vol. 5, by Rie Aruga

(Image Source) While Tsumugi is back home helping to take care of her sick father, she meets Kaede and her boyfriend Keigo. They want to get married but Keigo wants to build Kaede a barrier free house, as Kaede is in a wheelchair. Despite their past relationship, Tsumugi connects them with Ikeda who inexplicably turns the job down. I love how much perspective we get from the disabled characters.…

What to Accept When You Have a Disability?

I've been preaching for a long time that acceptance of certain bad situations opens up the world for anyone who's going through them.

But after reading this part in the 1st volume of Rie Aruga's Perfect World, I realize before acceptance, love from other people has to come first. It's hard to love yourself or come to terms with reality if you don't know how and that comes from being around other people.

Of course, that's not to say that the main male character, Itsuki Ayukawa, is a perfect role model even when he said he hasn't accepted his own disability as he has his own flaws and is still trying to sort out his personal life.

It takes a while to accept certain things and plus acceptance doesn't always lead to action. That's why I like the message being promoted here - take your time to process and if you have something you enjoy very much, lean on that.

Nothing's perfect, but it's better than being stuck in a world of constant rumination.
