Hello! My name is Joana.
What you need to know about me is: I love books, makeup and cats. I love sunny days and I hate the cold. I am a shy person but I am pretty friendly after you know me. I am from Portugal but I moved to Finland, where I currently live. I am studying arts but I am not sure where that will take me afterwords. My life is quite a mess although I am an organizing freak... And that's about it.
Hope you enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy working on it!
The idea is pretty simple, every week you dedicate a post to the three W’s:
What are you currently reading?
What have you just finished reading?
What are you going to read next?

The Last Time I Lied is what I’m STILL currently in the middle of. I haven’t been reading anything not even manga, so I made exactly no progress with this one. My mental health has been kicking my butt and reading is just not working for me. But I promise I’ll end this at some point this month!

This week’s topic is: Reading Goals I Still Want to Accomplish Before the End of the Year (We’ve just begun the last quarter of the year! What bookish goals would you still like to accomplish? If you participated in TTT’s Bookish Goals for 2023 topic this past January, update us on which goals you’ve achieved, which you’ve given up on, and which ones you’re still working on!)
Hey guys! Here’s to hopping this list will actually happen. Cheers!
I’m still in quite a bad state mentally and all I can muster to read is manga because it doesn’t require much attention and it’s light. But towards the end of the month not even that seemed to be possible. I wanted to end one series and well, I couldn’t so overall this didn’t go like I wanted to. What about your month, how was it?
Beastars Vol.1 by Paru Itagaki Series: Beastars #1 First published January 6, 2017 Publisher: VIZ Media LLC Genres: Fantasy, Manga Pages: 212 Format: Paperback Buy:Amazon
One night at Cherryton Academy, an herbivore student is brutally murdered. Among the members of the Drama Club, the herbivores’ suspicions naturally turn to their carnivore classmates… The prime suspect? Gray wolf Legoshi. But he wouldn’t hurt a fly. Or would he? Will dwarf rabbit Haru bring out the beast in him? Or are his feelings for her…something else?
This is set in an academy for both herbivores and carnivores. One day an alpaca is murdered and the blame is automatically put on the carnivores. When you are afraid and feel overwhelmed it’s easier to blame the bigger and scarier – that is the carnivores. The one suspect? Grey wolf Legoshi. He is quite misunderstood and he is okay with it. He tries to be in the shadows while still helping his friends. He is the kindest and most helpful wolf… But one day he gets what he thinks is these awful predator instincts and he is trying to calm it down and ignore it. But how can he, if she happens to be everywhere?
Also, to become a Beastar, you need to become a hero of the society but it’s easier said than done with all world being divided in prey and predators.

Meet Punpun Punyama. He’s an average kid in an average town.
He wants to win a Nobel Prize and save the world. He wants to go far away with his true love. He wants to find some porn.
But Punpun’s life is about to unravel…
This book is about Punpun Punyama, it’s a description of his life, beliefs, hard times, school, love and just all the coming of age problems you can imagine.
Punpun is in middle school and he has some friends with who he is starting to experience adult things, or trying to anyway. Like sex, masturbation and so on. He is also experiencing his first love. But while the good parts are unraveling, at home is not so pleasant. Punpun has the advantage that he is still too young to understand certain things but kids grow up way faster than we think.

The Last Time I Lied is what I’m currently in the middle of. And I gotta say… I have made exactly 0 progress since last week… It’s not that I’m not excited, because I am even tho, I am absolutely confused on where this book is going. It’s just personal problems that have kept me from diving into this.

This week’s topic is: Secondary/Minor Characters Who Deserve Their Own Book

Attack on Titan Omnibus Vol.1 by Hajime Isayama Series: Attack on Titan #1-3 Published October 19, 2021 Publisher: Kodansha Comics Genres: Manga, Fantasy, Horror Pages: 592 Format: Paperback Buy:Amazon
It’s never been easier to attack Attack on Titan than with these new, giant-sized 3-in-1 omnibus editions! If you’ve been waiting for the final anime season to check out the do-or-die shonen adventure that defined a decade, now’s your chance. These new books tuck almost 600 pages of manga behind a specially-embossed cover, all in a larger size than the regular version. Includes Vol. 1-3 of Attack on Titan. For eons, humans ruled the natural world. But a century ago, everything changed when the Titans appeared. Giant, grotesque parodies of the human form, these sexless monsters consumed all but a few thousand human beings, who took refuge behind giant walls. Today, the threat of the Titans is a distant memory, and a boy named Eren yearns to explore the world beyond the wall. But what began as a childish dream will become an all-too-real nightmare when a Titan finally knocks a hole in the wall, and humanity is once again on the brink of extinction…
This book is about titans and how they pose such a threat to humanity. It has been 100 years since the last time this town was breached, but even with 500m walls, the time of peace ended.
Eren was young when this all happened, but even before that he wanted to go outside the wall and hunt titans. After the first incident he ever experienced with titans, he saw his mother get killed. And that only reinforced his belief. Some years later, him, Mikaza and Armin just graduated and are ready for it all to start. They didn’t have to wait long…

The Last Time I Lied is what I’m currently in the middle of. I’ve made little progress and I got to tell you, I’m confused. But I am enjoying it too. I’m also currently reading That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and I’m in volume 8 out of the 14 I own.

This week’s topic is: Books on My Fall 2023 To-Read List
Hey guys! I tried to choose books I already own because with pre-orders or orders made now, I will probably only be getting them in November, late October if I’m lucky. So I added some books I own or already purchased and are on the way. Hope you enjoy!
