New Era (Perfect World 2)
Why did I start reading it? I enjoyed the first book. You can find my review here. I didn't enjoy the cliffhanger is left me on so I had to pick up the second book. That being said it will be hard to talk about this one without talking about the cliffhanger of the first book so potential spoilers for the first book, read at your own discretion. What is it? In a future world ravaged by global warming cities survive in shielded pockets, building technology and surviving. London

I've been killing slimes for 300 years and maxed out my level
Why did I start reading it? Learning that the cute girl on the cover is actually the protagonist of the story and this review from Sean Gaffney sealed the deal for me. What is it? A light-hearted fantasy; our main character Azusa was a Japanese wage slave who literally worked herself to death. An angel took pity on her and allowed her one wish for her next life. She chose to be immortal so she could take all the time in the world to relax in her next life.
After 300 years of

Akaoni: Contract with a Vampire
I was supplied this ebook by Cross Infinite World in exchange for an honest review. Why did I start reading it?
Akaoni was the first of cross infinite titles I was interested in and you can mainly account that the Cho's review on her English Light Novel blog.
I ended up putting it off after entering a review relationship with Cross Infinite as was excited to try their other books.
Lately, I got to the end of my book queue and finally had time for it. What is it?

Light Novels to Read: Rokka
We've all heard the story. The demon king or dark lord rises and a group of warriors are chosen to gather and defeat them.
In Rokka that's where we start, 6 brave warriors are chosen to stop the rise of the demon god. They set off on their journey, gather together and find there is one problem.
There's 7 of them.

Aki, an office worker from Japan, comes home after a long day to find her younger sister with a strange man who calls himself

Light Novels to Read: Far Away Paladin
Lately, more and more Japanese light novels have been translated into English and it's great! For those who don't know a Light Novel is, it is a kind of Japanese young adult fiction with full paged art dotted throughout the book. I've been a fan of many anime that have come from these novels and am ecstatic that many original source material books are being translated into English. My to-read list is filling up with them lately, so I thought it would be fun to tell you about

I hate to say the anime was better
I just finished getting through the first volume of Magical Girl Raising Project. A Japanese light novel I just had to get my hands on as soon as it was released in English. Why did I start reading it?
I think I landed in Magical Girl Raising Project the same way most people did. Through Madoka Magica. After being thoroughly traumatized by that I heard this was of a similar vein and watched the anime. I'll probably go into reasons why I liked that through the review but afte
