Book 44 of 2025. This is an ancient novel from 1965 by an author who has not stood the test of time. It was kind of like watching TV. Pretty not bad.
Don't bother.

I'm reading Dear Miss Lake by AJ Pearce for personal reading and still reading Watership Down with my son at bedtime.
#Review: This Gyaru’s Got a Thing for...Vampire Hunters?! Vol. 2 (#GyuVam)
#LightNovel by #WasanKurata
English Pub: #JNovelClub
Rating (1-9): (8 Worth following)
#CGDCT #UrbanFantasy
There are many reasons why I shouldn't give this a high rating, but the truth is that I was glued to both volumes by the second chapter. Reviews are subjective, and this one is based on my reaction.
At its heart, GyaVam is a CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Cute Things). Yes, there are battles and supernatural events, but readers looking for those elements will be disappointed. This volume is about Ruka (gyaru) taking Ginku (vampire-hunter) shopping for swimsuits, and then Ruka and her friends going to the beach. Ruka uses the power of Gyaru and Friendship to convince the antagonists to change their ways.
One of this book's charms is that I haven't read many light novels like it. And I read a lot of female protag light novels. Even if there were, I would find the writing reasonable and charming.
Is it yuri? It's about the relationship between women, which is romance-adjacent. The yuri subtext is strong, but it seems unlikely that it will drift into full-scale romance territory. Either that, or we're on the track of a very slow-burn yuri.
In summary, it's a pleasant, light read for escapism. If you like slice-of-life or CGDCT, it's worth reading the first three chapters, at least. Don't give up at first. It takes a while for the charm to win you over. At least it did for me.
Volume 2 is free to read for members of J-Novel Club until 12/15/25.
Digital release: 11/20/25

Novel by Wasan Kurata, Kewi Hayashi | The endless, bloody clash between vampires and vampire hunters was the only thing Ginka Shijunana had ever known. But when their war finally ends, Ginka becomes a high school student and hits it off with the fashionable gyaru Ruka Moriki!
I wrote 8 drafts.
The final draft requires a good night’s sleep first
Not bad for a Friday.
Now, where’d I put my novel?
En "El hundimiento de Afródita", el arquitecto llama impulsivamente a Kate, con la que ha tenido una relación marcada por el amor, la desconfianza y el desgaste emocional.

Does anyone have any recommendations that are similar to The Coven of Bones series but are like, properly fleshed out and have more of a slow burn?
Should I hate read the book The Damned by Harper L Woods??? I have so much beef with the first 2 books but I lowkey wanna see how much worse it can get 😭😭
| Yes | |
| No |
For these troubled times, I recommend reading books from black authors.
A good many of them contain some kind of commentary on how slaves are made, not born.
You really should be taking that to heart, because it looks like yet another class of overseers is looking to make a lot more slaves of us.
And skin color alone isn’t going to excuse you from the process this time.
