Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 3
by Tomohito Oda
View in Library Catalog

It's fun to watch Komi and Tadano's relationship grow!

Project Hail Mary
by Andy Weir

I love seeing how Ryland solves problems with science! And even though he's alone in space, we get to see how things on Earth are through his memories slowly coming back to him.

Komi Can't Communicate, Vol 5

I like seeing Tadano dress up like a maid!

Komi Can't Communicate, Vol 1

It's funny! I can't help smiling when Komi tries to say "Yes" but ends up saying "Sss" like a bomb.

Minecraft Wither Without You
by Kristen Gudsnuk

I like the Minecraft gameplay references, like "Why have I been carrying an oak sapling around?" and "I forgot a bed. Anyone have 3 wool?" The art style is cute and funny too.

The Glass Spare
by Lauren Destefano

This book is kinda annoying, because if she just told main love interest guy who she really was everything would be better (and I'm certain he wouldn't try and kill her).

Skyhunter
by Marie Lu

It was really exciting in the beginning, but it dragged a little after that. The fight scenes were cool, very fast paced.

Splatoon, vol. 7
by Sankichi Hinodeya
View in Library Catalog

It's a little slow at the beginning, but then a lot of stuff happens very quickly. I liked it.

Komi Can't Communicate, Vol. 2
by Tomohito Oda

It's fun to watch Komi get better - slowly - at communicating.

Greetings From Witness Protection

This was fun to read! The main character is a kleptomaniac. Really cool to read how she pickpockets things. Her younger brother is annoying, but I can give him a pass cause he's 10.
