Venus in Love 7 Yay!

I promised myself I wouldn’t buy any books in the month of October… and then immediately regretted it when I got to the end of my available Venus in Love volumes just to discover that there was one more just released! Buying it would mean breaking my promise… and since 6 hadn’t ended in a cliffhanger I’d resigned myself to wait. But then it showed up at my door anyway! Apparently I pre-ordered it through right stuff months ago when they were having a CMX sale. Yay for thinking ahead!

In other news, after reading 1-7 of Venus in Love, 1-7 of Wild Ones, and 1-10 of High School Debut, I think I’m shoujo-ed out for a bit. Though it was nice to end up with High School Debut and it’s habit of taking most shoujo tropes and playing them for laughs. I think it over-reached itself with trying to get serious with the “love rival” chapter. Next up, I’m going to go in the complete opposite direction and catch up with Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys. I’ve only read the first one and really liked it. I was VERY tempted to make the “Friends Cult” symbol into a pin. I probably will at some point.

I’ve managed to keep up with my do three things every day promise, though sometimes the things have been very small. But everyday progress gets made, and that’s the whole point. ^_^ I’m feeling much better about it at least.
