November Group Read: Third Check-In

[kalloway]

We're heading into the home stretch! How's the reading going?

For added optional discussion, if you'd like- Have you added anything unexpected to your TBR pile this month? Or have you stuck to your plan?

After what has to be my third or fourth try over the years, I'm officially DNF'ing all of Strawberry Panic. I don't have any particular feelings on most of the pairings and find huge chunks of the story boring and kept skipping around in the novels. The anime just doesn't keep my attention. And since this is at least my third try and it still didn't stick, it's okay, it can go.

The group-watch with taichara is thankfully over, with both of us impressively underwhelmed. That was sort of an add-on for the month.

Oh, I did start the L5R Crane novel and find the premise interesting but the writing dire, which I'd been warned about beforehand.

I don't think I've added too much, at least? I haven't put anything new on The Shelf, but I did read some unrelated f/f manga earlier in the month. (And enjoyed it quite a bit more than SP.)
