Sorry for taking ages to reply. I would like to read along at (roughly) the same time.
I’ve also started my first ABBC, which I noticed you are also doing (ゆびさきと恋々 ・ A Sign of Affection (Absolute Beginner Book Club) - Reading Now!). I’ll try to do both in parallel, but I’m a bit short on spare time this month so will see how it goes!
