More of a culinary snapshot of the 90s instead of a reference cookbook at this point, but it was quite interesting to flip through.

This series was recommended to me. I don't game much, and I don't have indoor cats, but this fits into the low-stakes, slice-of-life genre and was a pleasant break for me.

Another wonderful reread! Dealing With Dragons is definitely still my favorite (followed by Searching For Dragons), but every time I start a reread I end up going through the entire quartet.

Even though this is probably my least favorite of this quartet, I still love re-experiencing this series every year!
Dr. STONE, Vol. 3 by Riichiro Inagaki, Boichi

Calling it quits with this series. The first book was so promising, but the series has steadily declined and the misogyny only seems to be increasing.
