Ahh, I had forgotten about those two books. I read them several years ago and enjoyed them as a quick little read. I have another series by Karen Miller that has been on my shelf for years but I've never picked up. Maybe I will soon.....

I can't get started on a Manga series unless it's done (well, and unless it's a giant series that spans years, read: Bleach). Bunny Drop isn't even on manga-access.com ! As for Manga, I read the new episodes of Bleach every week, but also just read Sword Art Online. Fun story if you like video games, particularly MMORPGs. There are 10 (out of 12) episodes of the anime out, too. Great series.
In the book department, I'm on book 4 of the Vorkosigan saga. It isn't a series that makes me think so much, but it's entertaining and I'm loving the space-setting. I haven't been in a fantasy mood for a while so I've been reading sci-fi, dystopian novels, cyberpunk, etc etc. I have Ready Player One on the list next. And perhaps a re-read of Ender's Game.
