Title:Little Witch Academia Vol. 1
Author:Yoh Yoshinari
Rating:
Review:Not much to say. A harmless adaptation of the original anime with some extra content. I mostly bought it because the cover art is pretty :3

Title:The Art of Gathering
Author:Priya Parker
Rating:
Review:While Parker does make some interesting points about how we can make our gatherings more purposeful and meaningful, this book falls into the same trap that many "business, self-help" books fall into in that it honestly could have been a single web page or article instead of a whole book. It contains a lot of fluff that can be skipped over after Parker makes her point. I was also disappointed by how much of her advice was based on anecdote and "trust me bro I do this for a living" over actual scientific or historical evidence.

Title:We Are All Shipwrecks
Author:Kelly Grey Carlisle
Rating:DNF
Review:I could not finish this book. It's not that it was that bad, it was just so incredibly slow that I was reading it for 2 months and just could not get into it. I get that this is a memoir but the author spends so much time talking about her childhood and not focusing on the interesting stuff like her mother's murder or her grandfather's adult video store.
