(I know I'm not around a lot. I've just been really busy and can't seem to make it to goodreads except to mark books read. Thankfully they've changed the layout a bit so I can find these challenge posts a lot easier!)

BTW I'm so depressed. I'd gotten a Manga called Miki Falls: Spring but I read it in February. It's the only book I have with Spring in the title. Le Sigh. However I have been looking for the sequel which is called... Summer. :) HAHAHA Now I know I need to get it for summer! :)
