Synopsis: THE GUTS TO GET THE JOB DONE

Life’s not easy for a workaday cell, and amid all the hustle and bustle it takes to keep the human body going, it can be hard to know who’s an enemy and who’s a friend. You might think all germs are bad, but it turns out some bacteria aren’t just friendly, they’re downright essential (not to mention cuddly)! In fact, when an old nemesis returns, it might just be those friendly, cuddly bacteria that help save the day. The saga of life inside you continues!

My rating: ★★★★☆

In this week’s episode of Cells at Work! 😆 we are looking at H. Pylori, angiogenic shift, Cytokines, harmful bacteria, and the return of the cancer cells...

End of the Year/Vacation TBR

I am going on vacation in a week and the thing I always pack first is my books 😆 Last time I went on vacation I took like 5 books with me and finished exactly ZERO 😂 To be fair, I finished an ebook on the plane, and then I read Dungeon Crawler Carl on and off while over there, but otherwise, I didn't read much. Knowing this, am I still going to pack an inordinate amount of books that will probably not be read? Yes!

Synopsis: fter defeating the underground dragon and finishing up their business in the mercantile city of Marcade, Lizel and Gil resume their journey, having promised Judge's grandfather to protect Judge along the way. But danger soon catches up to them when a strange group of bandits called the Forky Gang attacks in the middle of the night! It quickly becomes clear that someone is targeting Lizel... but who could it be, and for what reason?

As always, former noble and current adventurer Lizel takes all new developments in stride in his usual, laid-back fashion. He's celebrating his promotion from a simple E-rank to a D-rank adventurer — and setting his sights on ranking up again soon!

My rating: ★★★★☆

I really enjoyed this volume in the series! One thing in particular that I loved about is that we got this sort of flashback moment to Lizel’s homeworld and we got to see his friends over there reacting to his disappearance! And we sort of have a better(ish) understanding of what happened. We don’t know exactly what caused Lizel to transport to this parallel world, but we have a little bit of an idea. I am SO excited to find out more! I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but both Lizel’s world and the world he appeared in have bits of magic here and there, so I’m really looking forward to learning more about that.
