Trying Out A New Genre: Manga!

Hello! Some of you may already recognize me from thecozeecorner, but I wanted to make an account just for books!📚 I’ve been trying to find a new genre of books that I would be interested in because I’m in a bit of a slump ever since I chose to stop reading heavy romance books, that’s when I came across Manga! If you would like, you could drop some book recommendations down below, (it can be any genre!) I would truly appreciate it! 😊💕
