What's on the Reading Radar? #WishList #Reading

 Weird week. Friday my brain insisted it was Monday. Thanksgiving was just Jason and me and a big turkey that cooked oddly. 

For this Reading Radar, I thought it could have a theme of manga/yaoi/graphic novels. I've been collecting a list of them that I would like to read and thought it would be fun to share.


Title: Check Please!

Series: Hockey, 1

Author: Ngozi Ukazu

Length: 288 pages


Genre: Teen, YA / Coming of Age / LGBT

Notes: 


Blurb: Eric Bittle may be a former junior figure skating champion, vlogger extraordinaire, and very talented amateur pâtissier, but being a freshman on the Samwell University hockey team is a whole new challenge. It is nothing like co-ed club hockey back in Georgia! First of all? There’s checking (anything that hinders the player with possession of the puck, ranging from a stick check all the way to a physical sweep). And then, there is Jack—his very attractive but moody captain.


A collection of the first half, freshmen and sophomore year, of the megapopular webcomic series of the same name, Check, Please!: #Hockey is the first book of a hilarious and stirring two-volume coming-of-age story about hockey, bros, and trying to find yourself during the best four years of your life. This book includes updated art and a hilarious, curated selection of Bitty's beloved tweets.

One day, he accidentally opens up the ancient shrine that was in his back yard, and three handsome Inugamis (dog gods) appear from inside. They insist that they will take Yuya and his brothers as their brides as a payment for being locked in the shrine by Yuya's ancestor. Yuya's partner dog god's name is Akatsuki. He is rough and insensitive. Yuya refuses to be his "wife" as he refuses to marry a man, but Akatsuki takes him to bed. Turns out Inugamis need to copulate with their wives to get energy...
