Title in English: Assassin's Pride DUB or SUB?? Sub definitely! Episodes: 12! It's a light novel series! Where to watch it: Crunchyroll [About the Anime:    Only those from noble families have the mana to be able to fight against monsters. Kufa is a noble born to a duke's family who is sent to tutor a young woman named Melida. If it turns out that Melida has no talent with mana, Kufa is secretly instructed to assassinate her. ]    This anime started off by introducing us to Kufa (....not sure if he's a protagonist or secretly going to kill everyone 😲) that's an unsettling assassin who looks a lot like Kirito from SAO. What's unsettling about him is one second he has a beaming smile and then when someone turns there back he's got a blank face and eyes screaming death at their back. Kufa then goes on his new mission and meets Melida Angel, who he is supposed to kill if she doesn't prove that she has talent with mana. He is kinda pret...

  Personally, I can't stand the romantic reads where it's a summer fling kinda thing. Absolutely not. No thanks!  If I want to read a book with a good romance in it, I want one I can root for that is not obviously just a brief thing! So what Noel means by ''Vacation Romances'' is this: reads where the meeting (usually) takes place on some kind of vacation/trip, but it's not a come-and-go trip, the love interest is someone that they'd be able to be around or see again outside of just however long the vacation was 🙄.   I understand that there might not be a big difference to most but for me, I love to cheer on a romance that doesn't feel like a fling. And most summer romances seem to be flings... So on that note... The vacation romances Noel would absolutely suggest and really enjoyed so much she had to buy a copy! Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett  *Jenn Bennett writes wonderful romcoms, but this one is a very good one to ...

Heck yes, it is! Here's a list of the top Robin Hood and Maid Marian Retellings ! *You can find links, my personal thoughts about them, and their descriptions in this post!* The Forest Queen by Betsy Cornwell     When sixteen-year-old Sylvie’s brother takes over management of their family’s vast estates, Sylvie feels powerless to stop his abuse of the local commoners.
