Culture Care by Makoto Fujimura

informative medium-paced

2.5

I read this book as part of a reading challenge to break out of my comfort zone. I thought it might be interesting, but I had no idea that there would be so much Christian religious stuff in there. It didn't say anywhere in the blurb or on audible. 
So it really wasn't what I expected and I want as interested as before, even if he had some good ideas. The whole missionary talk just isn't my thing.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
I started this book for a reading challenge to try a book out of my comfort zone. I guess it really was out of my usual interests, I really wasn't interested and got so bored that I zoned out. 
I'm really sorry to the author, but it just wasn't my thing.

Wedding episode! I can't imagine how hard it must be as an LGBTQ couple to find a flat together in Japan. Even harder a wedding location!

I'm so glad it worked out for them, at least in the wedding department, so far.

Vielen Dank an Netgalley für dieses Rezensionsexemplar!

Der zweite Teil der "Geister Inklusive" Reihe hat nicht enttäuscht. 
Ich liebe es die Charaktere wieder zu sehen. Der wechselnde Fokus in jedem Vuch sorgt für Abwechslung, aber in einem vertrauten Umfeld. 

Kieran ist mir im ersten Band gar nicht so sehr aufgefallen, aber dafür hier um so mehr ans Herz gewachsen. Seine Entschlossenheit und Beschützerinstinkt für das Wohl seiner Schützlinge zu sorgen macht ihn unglaublich sympathisch. 

Connor braucht ein wenig um etwas aufzutauen, aber das macht seinen Charakter um so interessanter. Mit seinem Beruf ist eine feste Beziehung nicht unbedingt das einfachste, also kann man ihm die Startschwierigkeiten nicht verübeln. 

Ich werde auf jeden Fall den nächsten Band auch wieder lesen.

Aw this one was pure fluff and I'm so happy that Tsuge and Minato finally got their part!

They told their families! I'm so glad Adachi's family took it so well and that Kurosaw's accepted it even if they had their doubts at first. 
Can't wait to see them grow even closer. 

Sadly not Tsuge/Minato this time.

They're getting engaged already? They've only been together for a couple of months tops. 
But if they're happy sure, would be a bit too fast for me though. 

Is Tsuge finally going to confess???

Der Abschluss der Shadow & Bone Reihe. 
Ich weiß nicht ob ich, die Trilogie zu Ende gelesen hätte, wenn ich nicht die Story kennen wollte bevor ich Six of Crows nochmal lese. 

Auch in dem Band muss ich sagen hat sich vieles wieder gezogen und der Fokus lag mir zu sehr auf dem Liebesdreieck (Viereck?), obwohl eh klar war wer am Ende der Auserwählte sein wird. 

Das Ende hat mir wieder ganz gut gefallen. Es war eine schöne Abrundung der Geschichte und es war wholesome. 

Aber wenn ich nicht schon alle Bände gekauft hätte und sie unbedingt vor meinen SoC Reread lesen wollte, hätte ich glaube ich die Reihe zwischendrin abgebrochen.

Even more communication!!! 
Adachi was finally able to tell him how he feels. I'm so glad they actually talked (or wrote a letter).
