My kid reads a lot of manga and I don’t mind because at least he’s reading for fun. But he’s running low on new things. His favorites are My Kitty is a Picky Eater and Cat Massage Therapy. Any suggestions?

4 months ago, I lost my grandfather. Today, I've lost my grandmother too. They were married for 67 years—a lifetime. So it's natural that she wouldn't want to live without him. I hope they are together wherever they are. I will love and miss them both immensely. My world is forever changed.
