  Author:  Hiromu Arkawa  Genre: Manga Book description:  Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime! In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical “auto-mail” limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother’s bodies...the legendary Philosopher’s Stone. Alchemy: the mystical power to alter the natural world; something between magic, art and science. When two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, dabbled in this power to grant their dearest wish, one of them lost an arm and a leg…and the other became nothing but a soul locked into a body of living steel. Now Edward is an agent of the government, a slave of the military-alchemical complex, using his unique powers to obey orders…even to kill. Except his powers aren't unique. The world has been ravaged by the abuse of alchemy. And in pursuit of the ultimate

  So the first week is a stretch, really.  The first few days did not go as planned. But I did start a few books I plan on completing Monday before catching up on the schedule. I have started  -House in the cerulean sea by TJ Klune -La vida, el tiempo y la muerte by Fanny Blanck-Cereijido and Marcelo Cereijido -Fisica cuantica para filosofos by Alberto Celemente de la Torre So I have completed a few of them mostly mangas. The ones I didn´t complete are two nonfiction and a fantasy book.  As the ones completed are all part of series there is really not much I can say without spoiling. For Fullmetal Alchemist I enjoy my journey so far. My favorite one so far is volume 6. It is the one that gives us the past of the Elric brothers.  For Inuyasha well, we still have the journey of the gang. Naraku is still around and we see a few betrayals among the reincarnations. There is a lot of dramas. I am enjoying it a lot. The presence of Sesshoumaru is still coming up at random. He is not as bad an

  This is a very interesting start. I am just returning again from a very long break I took the last few weeks (more like months at this point). I am debating if I should do a wrap-up for the last few months or just move on?  I have not updated anything since the second week of May. We will see. Also this coming month I have very ambitious plans. Let me try to lay an overview of the big plans.  Challenge 31 books in 31 days. *36 books in this list but by now I am not sure how to count them or not. I have several volumes in the same series. Week 1 • Fullmetal Alchemist vol 5 Hiromu Arakawa   • Fullmetal Alchemist vol 6 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  7 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  8 Hiromu Arakawa • Fullmetal Alchemist vol  9 Hiromu Arakawa This is another of the manga series I am trying to get through.  Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime!
