Books!

I have an Amazon wish list where I save all of the books I would like to read. Here are some books that I would love to read this month:

Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's books
Waterstones - Amazon - Book Depository

I recently discovered these books. The covers are very pretty and the synopsis' sound so good! There are currently three out that people seem to be loving on Twitter:


Synopsis:

The blockbuster danmei/Boys' Love novels from China that inspired the animated series! This epic historical fantasy about a prince and the mysterious man by his side is now in English, for the very first time!Born the crown prince of a prosperous kingdom, Xie Lian was renowned for his beauty, strength, and purity. His years of dedication and noble deeds allowed him to ascend to godhood. But those who rise, can also fall...and fall he does, cast from the Heavens again and again and banished to the mortal realm. Eight hundred years after his mortal life, Xie Lian has ascended to godhood for the third time. Now only a lowly scrap collector, he is dispatched to wander the earthly realm to take on tasks appointed by the heavens to pay back debts and maintain his divinity. Aided by old friends and foes alike, and graced with the company of a mysterious young man with whom he feels an instant connection, Xie Lian must confront the horrors of his past in order to dispel the curse of his present. This xianxia fantasy tale built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has spawned an ongoing multimedia franchise that's beloved across the world.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation volume 1

This historical fantasy tale of two powerful men who find each other through life and death is now in English, for the very first time!Wei Wuxian was once one of the most powerful men of his generation, a talented and clever young cultivator who harnessed martial arts and spirituality into powerful abilities. But when the horrors of war led him to seek more power through demonic cultivation, the world's respect for his abilities turned to fear, and his death was celebrated throughout the land. Years later, he awakens in the body of an aggrieved young man who sacrifices his soul so that Wei Wuxian can exact revenge on his behalf. Though granted a second life, Wei Wuxian is not free from his first, nor the mysteries that appear before him now. Yet this time, he'll face it all with the righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji at his side, another powerful cultivator whose unwavering dedication and shared memories of their past will help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them. This xianxia fantasy tale built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has spawned a multimedia franchise that has taken the globe by storm.

Synopsis:

The blockbuster danmei/Boys' Love novels from China that inspired the animated Scumbag System series streaming in English! This comedic tale of a man reborn as a villain in a fantasy novel series who ends up romancing the male protagonist is now in English, for the very first time!Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in strength and beauty. With his harem of over three hundred wives, and dominion over both the human and demonic realms, he is truly the most powerful protagonist--in a trashy web novel series! At least, that's what Shen Yuan, online alias Peerless Cucumber believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal Demon Way. But when a combination of rage and a poor meal choice leads to his death, Shen Yuan finds himself reborn into the world of the web novel, in the body of Shen Qingqiu--the beautiful but cruel teacher to a young Luo Binghe. Although as Shen Qingqiu, he now has incredible power and abilities as a cultivator, he's destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist, so this new Shen Qingqiu has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe's good graces before the young man's rise to power. That's the only way he'll escape the awful fate of a true scum villain! This fantasy (xianxia) comedy built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) was the first series by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu to spur a global multimedia franchise, followed by her later blockbusters Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official's Blessing. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new covers and interior illustrations from Xiao Tong Kong (Velinxi) and feature a translation by Faelicy (faelicy) & Lily (lily_ocho).

Pinch of Nom Comfort Food

The Pinch of Nom cook books are amazing! They have a great variety of healthy and tasty recipes that are really easy to make. This is the latest book in the series that released this month.









Games!

I have loved video games since I can remember. I want to spend more time playing in the future! Here are a couple of video games I'd love to play:

Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memory

Kingdom Hearts is one of my favourite game series. This is a rhythm-based game using songs and scenarios from the games!

















I loved the original The World Ends With You game on the DS, which was re-released on Nintendo Switch. This is a new sequel game and I'm really interested to see what it adds to the world and lore!














Pokemon things!

I am a massive Pokemon fan and I especially love collecting Pokemon plushies. Here are some things I have found that I adore:

Zorua plush

We finally got a Pokemon Center online store in the UK!! I'm hoping over time that some of the prices will drop. This zorua plush looks so sweet and fluffy and I hope I can get one one day!








Dialga plush

Pokemon Diamond is one of my favourite Pokemon games and I have been loving playing the remake on Switch, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond. Dialga is one of the Pokemon in my team and I'd love to have a plush version!








Pokemon converse

Ok so I haven't worn converse-type shoes in years and these are super expensive and currently a lot of sizes are sold out BUT look how cute these are!! I'm hoping for more Pokemon shoes in the future at a more affordable price.











What's on your December wish list? I would love to know!
