Bits and Pieces

2ch has been quite active with talk about the latest Migawari novel (~no Kokuhaku) ever since the no spoiler period ended. At a guess, I should have the book early / mid next week and am really looking forward to reading it. The only thing that worries me is that everyone's saying that they want to read the next book even more than they wanted to read this one! >.<;; At a guess, the next book will be coming out in January (assuming the author maintains her current release rate). O_O;; Original thought on 2ch was that the next vol would be the end of both the Chalon arc as well as the series, but current opinion is that there're still too many loose ends to be wrapped up for it to be the end of the series (or at least so people hope). Personally, I'm hoping that the series will still continue after the next volume. :P

Otherwise, again according to 2ch, younger brother Kelpie shows up again in the current SS in Cobalt for HakuYou. Shall see how the comments go for it over the next while, but it's possible that not much will be said about it since it's a mag release and not an actual book. I'm still debating if I want to try picking up Cobalt mag or not since the only thing I really read in there is HakuYou. >.> There's another series that I'm curious about with a SS in the current issue, but since I haven't actually read the first book for it yet... I'm not sure if I really want to pick it up.

BTW, how many folks are planning on doing NaNo this year? I've already been to the site since relaunch, but haven't completely decided on what, if anything, I'll do this year. >.<;
