Wanderlust

Wanderlust ended up being a decent read and I enjoyed it. Ms. Steel is dependable when you are in a certain kind of mood and her novels are excellent palate cleansers.

I'm actually thinking of putting videos on my youtube channel (currently empty). I'll not look good but I can talk about books. 

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (First Series)

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e  turned out to be a great show. First of all let me start by saying that if you are into terribly realistic shows than just don't even start with this one. However if you don't mind a bit of good natured absurdity than stick to it. I have had a great time with all the episodes and it had that special Japanese melodrama that none can imitate (yes I cried during more than one episode). Highly recommended. I have watched it on youtube and I give the link to the first episode below.

Journey Under The Midnight Sun

Journey Under The Midnight Sun is the best Keigo Higashino novel I have read (the other two were Salvation of a Saint and The Devotion of Suspect X and both were excellent). This novel inspired TV and film adaptations and I had watched them both (the S.Korean film was better). However nothing compares to the novel. Despite knowing every little thing about the plot and the characters I was completely into it and it turned out to be one of those novels that made me want to stop everything and read.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E

The Man From U.N.C.L.E turned out to be a sylish and entertaining spy film with funny characters and predictable twists. I liked it. 

Belladona

Belladona is a good example of how sometimes the plot misleads. I got this from an on line second hand shop and it is presented as a tale of revenge. The bloody revenge of a woman who was kidnapped and used as a sex slave for 12 years. The novel was dull at best and boring there simply was not enough excitement to support the plot. Not recommended. 

Another

Another is one recommended at some youtube list and I decided to check it out since I like horror as a genre. It is a nicely drawn anime with an interesting premise but I have seen to many horror films etc. to fully appreciate it I guess. I didn't give it up and watched all 12 episodes but it didn't leave much of an impact. Find the link to the first episode below.

The Wise Man's Fear

The Wise Man's Fear is a fantastic second novel. Totally ready and looking forward to the third novel.
