January 2 update:
Read the other half of chapter 4 of よつばと! 1. Jumbo’s jokes were a bit hard to parse, but otherwise it was still pretty easy, so I might try reading a whole chapter or two tomorrow.
On another note, I noticed that BBC is starting reading Death Note on January 22. This sounds fun, I think I’ll try joining! I ordered the first couple volumes – hope they arrive in time. I was a bit surprised to see it in the “beginner” club, but after checking the sample pages I think I see how it ended up there 
On a completely unrelated note, I finally watched 君の名は。today (not sure why I postponed it for so long), and I’m totally planning to give the novel a try soon! 
(Even though it seems to be way beyond my current comfortable reading level…)
