Goth
I've selected another manga this week, I guess I'm really into my manga horror lately! Goth by Otsuichi sounds perfect & I really like the cover too.

Bought, Borrowed & Bagged (26)

Bought, Borrowed and Bagged is a weekly event hosted by Talk Supe where you can share the books you have bought, borrowed or bagged (won) plus a recap of the previous week's reviews, upcoming reviews and on going events. 
(P.S. click the image to go to its Goodreads page)

Bought (paperback):
Lord Loss, Demon Thief, Slawter and Bec by Darren Shan

What can I say? I got a little buy happy this week and I've read his other series a few years back. Guess I wanted some good ol' gore and horror in my life again! Also I managed to find them a little cheaper because book 1 and 2 are in one book and 3 and 4 are in another, the whole series has been paired up and published like this but they're not on Goodreads. Maybe I'll fix that at a later date.

Follow Friday (27)


Q. What writing device or trick most irritates you when reading a book? For example, if an author employs an omnipotent narrator that is sometimes considered bad form.


A. Honestly I can't really think of any, I guess most of the time its mostly only when they use a metaphor I don't understand mainly due to the fact that I live in a bubble :3
