Random Quote of the Day

"If it doesn't work out, I've still got the ice cream van."

-Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, on his desire to continue acting after the series is completed

I remember what I meant to blog about today!

(Not that the Rupert Grint quote isn't cute. It's pretty much made me smile since I found it yesterday. But that's not what I meant to write about.)

I just got the second volume of Sorcerers and Secretaries by Amy Kim Ganter in the mail yesterday. The manga is a two-volume set, so the whole story is told in two books, and it's adorable! The plot isn't hugely complex: it's a story of romantic tension between a directionless bookseller who finds direction by helping a writer follow her true path. Along with being a great story about budding friendship/trust/romance (following some of the basic romantic comedy movie plot tropes), it's also a story about how fiction can bridge the gap between two people to reconcile their differences. The resolution may be a bit too easy, but it's a sweet story that, if you read manga, I highly recommend.
