Of course, squeezing in five short novels in the last full week of March helped. But if I balance long modern novels with short older books, it should work out.

Miss V<p>1. Blood on the Tracks 1 by Shuzo Oshimi</p><p>I read the first couple volumes of this before it was licensed, but I'm circling back to read the official Kodansha/Vertical editions. This is a horror <a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/manga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>manga</span></a> series (not a surprise if you're familiar w/ Oshimi's work) about a boy who discovers his mother is not quite right, shall we say. (Understatement.) Oshimi is a master of imbuing tension &amp; anxiety in the most innocuous of panels here. <a href="https://federatedfandom.net/tags/MarchReads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MarchReads</span></a></p>
