Fruits Basket Another by Natsuki Takaya

 


Time for a Book Review! This time, it is "Fruits Basket another" by Natsuki Takaya, an adorable sequel featuring the kids of the original Fruits Basket cast. Ever wonder what happened to Kyo, Yuki, Akito, and the gang? This sequel hints at what has happened since the original series ended through the perspectives of their children. You can usually tell who each kid belongs to based on their personalities and what they think about their parents. Emotions run wild in the series, as we go from despair, hope, concern, love, etc. as the characters learn how to stand on their own as they come of age and take a few more steps towards adulthood.

As a teacher, I am a full supporter of using comics for teaching, and even in this three volume series, there are lots of lessons to be learned such as actions have consequences and you can't judge a person based on who their parents are, how rich they are, or what they look like. The stories may be relatable to students in high school as they navigate their lives and the characters are of a similar age.

As a cosplayer, there are a variety of new characters of the same beautiful art style to choose from. If you remember the original cast, these characters are just as pretty and reflective of Natsuki Takaya's style. Lots of fun personalities to play around with for those who love to roleplay or LARP.

If you liked the original Fruits Basket series, definitely consider piking up this adorable sequel.

The Fowl Twins by Eoin Colfer

So first off, I have to say that I was really excited when I got the opportunity to review this book as I am a huge fan of the original Artemis Fowl series and have read all the main books in the series, at least the ones that I know about. https://www.amazon.com/Fowl-Twins-Artemis/dp/1368052568/ The Fowl Twins, by Eoin Colfer, is the sequel to the Artemis Fowl series and follows Artemis' two younger brothers, Myles and Beckett, who as you might have guessed are twins.  Myles takes after Artemis as a child genius and is often competing against Artemis, trying to out smart him.  Beckett is more hands on and seems simple, but in really is anything but simple.  The twins are nothing alike, but the differences work to make an excellent balance that helps them push forward. Without spoiling too much, Myles and Beckett, along with a toy troll, are kidnapped and have to escape with the help of a non-magical blue pixel named Lazuli.  Together, the weird becomes normal, and e...

Halloween Dragons by Art by Aelia

This is the second year in a row I have ordered a Halloween dragon from Art by Aelia on Etsy after falling in love with her Viserion dragon draper necklace that I received for Christmas a few years back. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1082488704/ About the Seller: Aelia is a talented artist on Etsy who crafts all sorts of things out of resin like whales, dragons, and dinosaurs. Her dragon jewelry seems to be her main selling point and many of her products are customizable. If she doesn’t have what you want in stock, she will gladly make it for you within 6-8 weeks before shipping it right to you. About the Product: This candy corn Halloween dragon is one of Art by Aelia’s newer products and is a must have for any Halloween lovers. This is the fourth or fifth time I have ordered from her, and I love every piece I have gotten. These dragons are painted resin so are a little fragile but as they will mostly sit on your shelf as an awesome decoration, you really don’t have to worry about it …...

James Clyde and the Tomb of Salvation by Colm McElwain

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41588391-james-clyde-and-the-tomb-of-salvation Even better than the first novel and ties up all the questions and loose ends nicely. I had the privilege of reviewing the first book in this series a few years ago and was excited to find out that a sequel was finally coming out. This book starts off right where the last book left off, with the Abigail in possession of the three Diamonds of Orchestra and James alive and more confident in his abilities. Without giving too much of the novel away, James and Queen Abigail are in a race to the Tomb of Salvation, Abigail (along with Gilbert and Imorex) in search of immortality and the final power to rule all of Orchestra and James to stop her. James is joined by his friends Ben and Mary, along with Simon, Kila, Belle (James' mom), and the rest of the knights of Zara. We are greeted with two new characters, who join James on his journey, Professor Shaw and his daughter, Ella (James' potential love...
