Fired? But I Maintain All the Software! Volume 1

Yuki Kashirome

Ai Sato is the sole engineer maintaining her company’s internal systems. It’s too bad being the linchpin who keeps it all running won’t protect her from sudden layoffs. Apparently, the new CEO doesn’t approve of cosplaying at work. Depressed and jobless, Ai unexpectedly reunites with her childhood friend, Kenta Suzuki, who makes her an offer. His startup, True Coding School, provides personalized lessons to people struggling under the stress of modern society, and he wants her to join his team. With every passionate—and sometimes unconventional—lecture, Ai finds herself giving her students a renewed sense of purpose. Who knew that coding lessons could change so many lives?

Pre-reading thoughts.

I just saw the number of pages and I was wondering… why is it 530 pages long? It’s a romance, why is it so long? Romance books should not be that long, 300-350 pages is the average (I think, I don’t read a lot of romance) but guys, seriously, 530 pages is excessive hahaha 😹

Do you find that your reading goals affect your reading decisions?

On one hand, I like having a reading goal because it encourages me to read more consistently and gives me a sense of purpose. On the other hand, I find that having a target number subconsciously affects my reading choices. I might feel ambivalent about picking up denser classics, nonfiction, or books longer than 500 pages even though I love chunky books!

I've been trying to be mindful of that and prioritize reading what I truly want to read, but it still annoys me when I fall behind schedule in reaching my yearly reading goals.

I'm curious how you deal with this quality-versus-quantity issue. I miss the days when I had unlimited reading time

Nah... That's Diabolical

What's the most diabolical thing a character has done from a book you've read or your current read?

Her Time Traveling Duke

Bryn Donovan

Magic meets science and sunshine meets grumpy when a love spell whisks a Regency-era duke to modern times.Rose Novak, a free-spirited museum employee who dabbles in magic, has had her share of disappointments. So when she tries a little spell for a romance with an “old-fashioned gentleman,” she doesn’t really expect it to work…especially literally. And yet, the duke from a painting she admired at the museum is now standing in her apartment, demanding to know who abducted him.A man of science and truth, Henry Leighton-Lyons, the Duke of Beresford, has searched tirelessly for a way to turn back time and be with his late wife again. Instead, just as he’s about to pose for his portrait, he’s ripped centuries forward by a feckless, scantily dressed—and utterly bewitching—woman who believes in nonsense like crystals and astrology. Unable to immediately reverse her spell, Rose vows to help Henry return to his own century, even though disguises and high jinks are required to get their hands on an enchanted astrolabe and master the art of time travel. But it’s hard not to fall for the irritable yet honorable duke.Little does she know that he’s starting to wonder: did a reckless love spell get it right, after all?

Her Knight at the Museum

Bryn Donovan

A centuries-long curse is no match for rom-com shenanigans when a medieval knight is brought to life in modern-day Chicago. Forgotten by time and abandoned by hope, Sir Griffin de Beauford’s existence stretches out before him. Cursed by a ruthless enchanter to see, hear, and think, but never to move or speak, Griffin suffers the long, lonely centuries trapped in stone…until an unexpected kiss from a fair maiden breathes new life into his soul—and his body. Emily Porter, a recently divorced conservator at the Art Institute of Chicago, is charged with the restoration of a statue of a medieval English knight. Breaking curses was not part of the job description. And yet, here he is, the man of her dreams come to life, resplendent in shining armor as he joyously barrels into priceless antiquities...and goes on to dismantle her defenses, wreak havoc on her senses, and tempt her to believe once more in happy-ever-afters. But the modern age tries Griffin’s patience and pride, and Emily is a prime suspect in the investigation of the missing sculpture. In a complicated world, can they find their way to a fairy-tale ending?

What’s your next read?

As a mood reader, I often look around my (very, very wonderfully full!) shelves and find I am not quite in the mood to read a single book on them. I love gathering more recommendations to add to the ever growing pile (and to cater for niche moods and vibes!), so I love to ask people what’s on their shelf to read next.

What is the next book on your TBR/reading plan?
