Being a weeb, I obviously read mostly Japanese fantasy/supernatural novels, but I sometimes dabble in local stuff(The Witcher, Wędrowycz series, Vampire from M-3, etc.) and some popular things like LoTR.
Habits:(these also apply to mangas/comics, but this is a book thread so I omit them)
I often read in my bed, and try to read the whole volume in one go or at least with as few breaks as possible. I usually use digital only if I can't get something in paper(including libraries/borrowing from friends).
author - title (tags) (completion if applies)
Just read:
Eiji Mikage - The Empty Box and the Zeroth Maria(Action Drama Mystery Psychological Romance Supernatural) (vol.1 out of 7)
A friend of mine misrecommended it to me, and I got kinda bummed for not getting what I've been promised(he said it's an urban fantasy, so I was thinking more in the direction of Toothbrushgatari(w) or Vampire from M-3), but I still like it. However after some time a few things became a bit obvious. Also the first volume kinda works standalone, and many people say it changes with time, so I wonder what they'll bring to the table.
Yuyuko Takemiya - Toradora(Comedy Drama Romance) (completed)
Do yourself a favor and watch the anime adaptation instead. JC Staff didn't change much(except the last volume which was released as it aired, so they changed a fair bit there), but all of the changes are for the better.
Plan to read:
Andrzej Pilipiuk - Deer's Eye series(Action Comedy Historical Supernatural)
I liked every Pilipiuk's book I read so far, and since I've been told I may not enjoy The Cousins I decided to try these next. But then again the same person misrecommended me Maria, so maybe I should try them instead?
Jin - Kagerou Daze(Comedy Drama Mystery Romance Supernatural)
It's based on a series of songs by the same autor, and I think the songs themselves range from meh to abysmally bad. However, since books don't include music, I decided to give them a try. It's not like I haven't dropped a series before(/me looks at where Mirai Nikki manga used to be on the shelves).
Ryougo Narita - Durarara!(Action Comedy Mystery Supernatural)
Kotori delivers hard with their licenses(the only time they didn't is SAO but it pays for better stuff so I don't mind). I'm very hyped to read this, even though I'm aware it's a bit chaotic at the start. And they're rumored to have an even better license coming, but I'm gonna knock on wood for now. But then again, it's not gonna be hard to beat the worst piece of trash from the "rip-off trying to cover plot holes with fanservice" bin Waneko recently announced(No Game No Life for those wondering). And no, I don't dislike fanservice, but if it's the only thing in a book/manga/anime/whatever that doesn't suck then I'm not even gonna touch it. And NGNL fails there too because I'm not into lolis.
That was a long post.
