I have been trying to get back into reading again for fun. I graduated from university–and received my degree in the mail a few days before writing this post–and had been going through a bit of a reading slump. I think part of this slump was from excitement: I have so much to read, yet at the same time, the possibilities seem nearly endless. Still, something about holding the degree in my hands made this accomplishment all the more real.

The books I mention below are graphic novels and manga. I actually got into the habit of reading from graphic novels and manga growing up, so it’s an interesting way to get back to my roots!
