The Apothecary Diaries (Manga), Volume 1 by Itsuki Nanao, Natsu Hyuuga with Touco Shino, Nekokurage (Illustrator), Julie Goniwich (Translator)

After the light novel left me wanting, the manga was more enjoyable. The storylines worked better in visual format and were more straightforward than the light novel. I would continue with the manga.

The Mind’s Eye by Oliver Sacks with Oliver Sacks (Narrator), Richard Davidson (Narrator)

This was my first Sacks book. I had the hardcover but I forgot to look at it. I enjoyed the narration from Davidson and Sacks. I liked the mix of medical case studies and Sacks’s own memoir about losing his sight.
