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.

Forbidden Griffin by Zoe Chant

I received "Forbidden Griffin" by Zoe Chant as an ARC.  "Forbidden Griffin" is a shifter romance between two exiled griffins.  While trying to avoid too many spoilers, Cela is exiled from Griffin Island because her babies were not born griffins.  A nice enforcer suggests she find Tyr to help her out.  Needless to say, Cela and Tyr get a lot more than they bargained for when they meet and Tyr helps Cela get used to living in a human world, as Cela had never been off the island.  They'd make a nice family... if only they could touch.  The story follows Tyr and Cela's journey to break their curse and become a family along the way.  It's a sweet story of new beginnings and second chances, as well as new and blended families.  Though this is the 8th book in Chant's Bodyguard Shifters series, it is easily read as a standalone, though there are a few references to things that happened in prior books.  I will definitely be going back to read the othe...

Ancord Bluetooth Speaker from FREEWISE Review

Hey all! I love this mini Bluetooth stereo from FREEWISE. It is great for us cosplayers who like to make videos of us in character or sing our favorite songs from the series. Also, pay attention to this review because I may be GIVING AWAY one of these great speakers soon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GR46AVU/ About the Seller: The seller was very prompt in sending the package and it arrived on time. I did not need to contact the seller and everything was packaged well. Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-42QM_6W0o About the Product: I chose to review the blue Ancord Bluetooth Speaker from FREEWISE but it actually comes in three colors: blue, rose gold, and silver. The speaker comes with a connector so you can hang it off your phone, a charging cord (though it can be any mini USB cord as my phone charger works perfectly with it), and directions. It is pretty easy to set up even without the directions (I should know as I accidentally left the direction...

The Trouble with Christmas by Amy Andrews

Amy Andrews captured my attention as she brings in surly Joshua Grady and Suzanne St. Michelle together in what turns out to be one of the most cringe-worthy Christmas holidays to date. Opposites attract in this holiday romance as the chatty artist's muse takes flight and makes the lone rancher open up his heart again for the first time in seventeen years. Not only does "Suzy" interrupt Grady's peace of mind, but she brings in her parents as she tries not only to dig out from the giant lie she told but also to save her parent's marriage. Can she survive her own lie as she has the Christmas of her dreams? Or will the lie swallow both her and Grady as small time rumors escalate the relationship further. Book can definitely be read on its own, but have already ordered the first book from the library so I can read the rest the beginning of the Credence, Colorado series.
