Azumanga Daioh Volume 1
I have repeatedly read AD for a few years, as I cannot get enough of the weird antics of these crazy girls!
Join Tomo, Yomi, Sakaki, “Osaka”, Kaorin, Kagura and new student Chiyo to kick start their middle school year! They are 7 strange and random girls with unique strengths. They are together at school, and the AD series is about their crazy adventures
I have read the whole series and so, I will review the other ones in the series. In the first volume, you meet Chiyo, the elementary school girl who is so smart that she is now in Middle school with the others! She quickly becomes one of the group. Tomo is the idiot, Osaka is the dazed, Yomi is the sarcastic, Kaorin is the Sakaki-Fan girl, Kagura is the sports nut, Sakaki is the quiet sporty-smart cat lover and Chiyo is the clever-everything-prodigy. It is set out in small comics of 4 panels, meaning you don’t get bored, and your eyes don’t get tired, as easily. The comics are often very funny, with references to other manga and Japanese customs, which are breifly explained at the end of the book. The colour art on the cover, and on the first few pages is a pleasure to look at, and very well drawn! I hope you will start reading AD Series too!

Kiss of Death by Malcolm Rose
I drifted in and out of KoD, so I did not read every single word… however, I have read 95% so this review is basically full, so yeah…
Kiss of Death is the story of Seth, Kim and Wes. They go on a school trip to Eyam, the ex-plague infested village (back in the Middle Ages that is! xD) of York. While Seth is moved by the amazing story of the plague, Kim and Wes are more interested in the well, and the money at the bottom of it! When Kim and Wes pick out a Middle Aged coin with plague bacteria on it, they discover they picked more than they bargained for.
It was really creepy! I loved reading it, and the beginning and end were the best, the middle was average… I still enjoyed it though! A very bemusing ending, and it kept me entertained and excited throughout all of it! I think that it could be a bit better, but it is good enough to go on my Book Blog!
