The Last two months' doings
Hello!
Here is my long overdue wrap up for both November and December. Didnt read many books (only 2 😮) but I did end up reading some fluffy manga because after the stressful exams+assignments season I wanted something cliche and cute. Watched a lot of movies and dramas too 😁

November
Books
- Dragonfish // Vu Tran

- Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers // J.R.R.Tolkien (Book 2)
Synopsis :
The Fellowship was scattered. Some were bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some were contending with the treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam were left to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordor–the dark Kingdom where Sauron was supreme. Their guide was Gollum, deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the Ring. Thus continues the magnificent, bestselling tale of adventure begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its soul-stirring climax in The Return of the King.
Rate : 3.5 / 5 ⭐
Review :
Definitely liked it better than the first book because it was a lot more of action going on rather than just introduction of characters and description of places. Still many new characters have been introduced and I think I forgot some of them already (yet to read the third book).

Rate : 3 / 5 ⭐
Review :
It was an okay manga I guess. The characters were cool, the character development not so much. The plot got a bit messy inbetween and the ending was abrupt so wouldnt 100% recommend but if you are in for a light reading (like I was) then this would be good. The art style is also gorgeous.
- Zettai Heiwa Daisakusen
Synopsis :
The long-lasting war between the Northern and the Southern Kingdoms is unbearable. So the northern Prince Johane and the southern Princess Euda decide to tell everyone they are in love, because their marriage can stop the war. But the truth is they don't get along at all!
Rate : 3.7 / 5 ⭐
Review :
Another typical hate to love romance but was pretty cute though. I cant remember most of the stuff so cant comment on it but I think the plot development and the character development was good.
