What are YOU reading? #337 - The First AND Last Post


What are you reading on Monday? is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journeys where you post books completed last week and plans for upcoming books. Jump over to her blog and see who else is participating.

This is the first meme of 2017 – yay! What you don't know until now is that it's the last of the 'What Are You Reading Meme' on this blog. The content of this meme will become individual posts over the next few months, with me reading much less for review purposes, so after much deliberation I'm simply going to stop doing the meme. You'll get the book reviews as reviews, and I will be reviewing anime and games more often which kind of negates the game part of the meme. You can always see what I'm currently reading/listening to/gaming/watching in the right hand menu of this blog (I update it fairly regularly when I'm well). Thanks goes to GMR for putting the posts together for me over the last few years, which has saved me a lot of time. (It's been a pleasure! ^-^) Time to get on with what I've been doing these last few weeks besides being ill in bed!

CRAFT ETC
This particular meme has been delayed due to illness, so I haven't been able to do a lot of craft. I have made a pretty dishcloth...


Picture was not taken in ideal conditions...bad lighting!


...and I can reveal the secret project I was working on too (currently unfinished!)...



Mostly I've only been able to watch and do a lot of gaming.
Animal Crossing New Leaf provided me with a super cute 2017 cake! 


It may be a Japanese only item, as my family who have the English version haven't received it in the game's post system. I've got most of the ice collection provided by the snowmummy...



...still waiting for a bed though. Got until February 13th so there's still time to catch those currently elusive snowflakes!
Reviews will be forthcoming for Disney Magical Castle 1 & 2, which is like Animal Crossing only everything is Disney themed. And you can't have more than 1 bed in your house which annoys me greatly! I'm in love with the numerous outfits, such as this one...



I'm still obsessed with Love Live School Idol Festival, with recent cards being absolutely gorgeous...





...I'm always saving gems where I can, and can now at least pass an Expert level on the lowest speed.
Besides those, the game I'm on the most at the moment is the Hatsune Miku Project Mirai Series. Another series which will get a review soon, I'm blown away by how fun it is. I'm mostly on #2, although the deluxe version (#3) is my current play as I'm unlocking all the songs for it. I adore the outfits, and just how cute Miku and her friends look in songs. Today when I turned it on every character (separately, when I switched to them) had their eyes closed and were trying to bash a watermelon. Naturally they succeeded but I kept pressing a button too soon which closed that cute sequence so no picture of that for you...



Something clicked and I'm finally getting better in the rhythm game, earning more points which lets me buy more clothes!


I hope you are having a great start to the year, and while this is the last meme (for now) here on NRC, the individual meme elements will be on my blog so there'll be plenty for you to read throughout the coming months!
