- Manga Classics Les Miserables ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Manga Classics The Scarlet Letter ⭐⭐⭐
- Manga Classics Pride and Prejudice ⭐⭐⭐
- Lies We Tell Our Kids by Steve Hoover, Illustrated by Brett Wagner ⭐⭐⭐
- The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck DNF
Manga Classics are good. I especially love Les Miserables manga adaptation because I’m too lazy to read the novel. I give Pride and Prejudice 3 stars because I found the drawing style too flowery and it’s weird that the female characters always have tears ready in their eyes. It destroyed my image of a strong, smart, independent woman of Elizabeth Bennet. I never read The Scarlet Letter before and after reading a few pages, I can already predict the ending so meh, 3 stars.
I DNF-ed The Good Earth because this book is the first book of trilogies which means that I have to find another two books of the series. I regret not making a background check on this one.

- Until Friday Night (The Field Party #1) by Abbi Glines ⭐⭐⭐
- Under The Lights (The Field Party #2) by Abbi Glines ⭐⭐⭐
The series focused on a swoon-worthy member of the school’s football team and one plain but gorgeous girl love story. (Nice summary, lol). I’d recommend the stories for those who want a light predictable happy ending high school romance read.
Note: I heard the 3rd book in the series (Title: After The Game) would come out this August.

You really read a lot (crying) I haven’t read Pride and Prejudice yet but I’m going through Sense and Sensibility (which makes me feel like reading the prosa tradisional with all the hikayats, somehow)
Pride and Prejudice always has a special place in my heart lol. Never read Sense and Sensibility yet
