Perfect, sounds like we’re all aligned. I would like a long break too 
So let’s read the last one from January, in case no one volunteers to take over I can do it

I’ve been reading through the appendices, but because they’re primarily collections of example sentences for each compound verb or compound particle they’re quite dry, and I haven’t been making very fast progress through them. I’m about halfway through appendix 3 at the moment; not really much to say about them.

I read them before we started but can’t remember much now, maybe I will brush through them again!

I would gratefully pass the torch if you’re willing, @Akashelia. No need to promise anything yet, of course. I’m happy I could help lead the club. However, it turns out that even with phone reminders, etc, I had some struggles with leading the club and sort of burned out towards the end.
Definitely had a harder time with this volume. Personally I have shifted my Japanese study focus to immersion over “textbook” style learning, and it felt like the information I was reading just had no reason to stick. At first I did find it interesting, but then it became a slog. Perhaps it’s where I am in my understanding / comprehension of grammar, or perhaps I have found that I just prefer a different style of learning.
Still, thanks for letting me drag the baton over the finish line (almost! Technically, one more week!). I know I was not a perfect club leader, but again, I am happy to have contributed.

Also, please allow me to post the belated and final thread for this volume:
Cheers, everyone.
