Reading Round Up 2

I haven't gotten as much reading done the past few weeks because I keep forgetting to take a book with me to work as I can read on my lunch break. I do have a Barns & Noble that's literally a 3 minute walk away from work, but I've been trying not to go there that often to protect my wallet.

Recent Reads

Puella Magi Oriko Magica v. 1 & 2 by Magica Quartet, art by Mura Kuroe: I love that we see other magical girls and we see more of Mami and Kyouko, but I was not the biggest fan of the art of this story compared to Madoka.  But I think it's interesting that another magical girl was also trying to prevent the same event that Homura was, but in a different way for different reasons.

Girl Genius by Phil and Kaja Folio: I read the entirety of all the published Girl Genius in two days, and have been following the updates for the newest pages for the past two weeks.  I had read the first 2 volumes a long time ago, but for some reason never continued and didn't think to read it online.  When I finished reading the first 3 volumes again that I had gotten from the library and then discovering that not all the volumes were available, I proceeded to read the rest of it online.  My eyes were hurting at the end and I prefer having a physical copy, but I'm caught up and I really enjoy the story, even if it seems that it's taking a long time for the plot to move along. Also, a new OTP was born: Gil and Agatha.

Agatha H and the Airship City by Phil and Kaja Folio: the novelization of the first three volumes of Girl Genius, and includes a little more background information than what is covered in the comic.  I really enjoyed it and have the second novel on hold.

I've been noticing a lot of 'Summer Reading' posts on various blogs lately. Anybody have any reading goals over the summer?
