Ahh... lazy Saturday afternoon.

Decided to take the time to sit down and finish off "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", because really, it's just two short stories, and I should've finished it much, much faster. Except that I pretty much sit and read a heck of a lot of stuff online, so when I actually hop into bed with my bedtime reading, I end up not reading much before starting to fall asleep...(-_-;;)

So, book number 6, "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", by Tsutsui Yasutaka, is finally finished today!

It's two quirky little stories in the same book; if any of you thinks that the title sounds like a film that you might've seen or heard of somewhere before, that mght be because it is. There was an animated film based on the same story, with the same title.

The ending of the main story reminds me a bit of one of Murakami Haruki's short stories though; how the protagonist only remembers vague promises and fleeting feelings every time she smells lavender. And now I can't think of what the title of the Murakami short is. Oh well.

Makes for good light reading. Give it a try. :)

1. Wicked, by Gregory Maguire (completed 28th January)
2. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (compiled in one book), by Lewis Carroll (completed 16th January)
