📚📚 Read every day challenge - Fall 2022 🍁🍂

I think I’ll join. I skipped summer since I knew I’d be swamped, but I bought a years subscription to satori on a whim and want to get thru most of the content before it clomes up for renewal in spring. Even though I have plenty to read, I also bought the first two manga arcs and first ten light novels for 本好き so I’d better up my reading time or I’ll never burn through my backlog. :sweat_smile:

October 1st!

I can’t believe we’ve already reached the final challenge of the year!
Today I read Chapter 7 of Volume 2 of Yoru Cafe. As usual, it took me AGES. I always feel immensely pleased with myself when I get to the end of a chapter though :slightly_smiling_face:

First day completed! Read a few pages of かがみの孤城 (43%).
I’ll be flying 7 hours back to Australia overnight tomorrow, so I’ll see if I have enough energy to read.

I’m usually a lurker so this is my first time writing on the Wanikani community page (so I apologize if I don’t do something correctly) but I’ve been looking for ways to keep myself accountable with improving so I’d love to be a part of this!

:fallen_leaf: Day 1, 1st of October :maple_leaf:

:open_book: Back to my Home Post

Today I continued where I left of in DrDru’s stories. This one was about The Hobbit, and this one was about Kim & Chuck in the forset, where Kim fights a wolf (not sure if it was a reference to something). Very fun! But I’m still bad at Katakana, so it was a bit exhausting.

Interesting Kanji: the 赤 in (あか)ちゃん (baby). On it’s own it apparently means red, so to me babies are now little red riding hoods, because the story where I learned that Kanji had a wolf in it…

耳をすませば :black_cat:

Read this week’s portion of 耳をすませば. Since I write about it in the book club, not sure what to add here. But nice to start this challenge on the weekend, a time when I’m most likely able to read.

Well not a bad start managed to read an hour of Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, found it really hard going so many words & kanji I’ve not seen before. Think I’ll be going back to Detective Conan for tomorrows reading much easier! :mag_right:

:fallen_leaf: :fallen_leaf: :fallen_leaf: Chanchilla’s Fall 2022 Reading Challenge! :fallen_leaf: :fallen_leaf: :fallen_leaf:

First time joining a reading every day challenge! :maple_leaf:

I’ve been keeping up with the Hunter X Hunter ABBC :frog:. So finishing this book is the main initial goal. Although, I have a new overarching goal to start a daily reading habit (I’ve been cramming the whole week of book club reading into one day so far). I’m starting with a simple goal to read at least 1 page of manga a day (very easy I know, but I find habits form easier if I make the task quick to complete). Then, over time I’ll increase the pages read / time spent reading daily.

I also have some physical copies of other manga I plan to read at some point soon, possibly during this challenge. These include:

:dollar: - レンタルおにいちゃん
:broom: - ふらいんぐうぃっち
:canoe: - ARIA

I have also been following Game Gengo’s videos and I have been trying to play some video games entirely in Japanese. I am planning to play Pokemon Violet in Japanese when it releases November 18th, which is honestly perfect timing for the end of the Hunter X Hunter book club. The new Pokemon games have been adding furigana over kanji which is awesome for reading.

I will again join this challenge. Instead of decreasing my backlog of things to read is actually increasing. There is enough for me to read for at least the next ten challenges. :sweat_smile:

:fallen_leaf: Starting Point :fallen_leaf:
ハリー・ポッターと賢者の石 (pg 358 of 461)

My focus will be No Zero Days, rather than a minimum page number. I aim to build a consistent habit of casually opening my book to enjoy a couple pages when I can, rather than only doing so when I am sure I can commit a solid block of undisturbed free time to reading 30 pages. On my sunny window seat in the morning before work, over lunch at my desk, and snuggled into bed at night with a hot cup of tea. I will make time when I have time, and I will get used to focusing even in distracting environments.

First day of the challenge I read some lines of the Monobeno visual novel. I’m more than half way through the first route. The story seems to start to pick up the pace. I wonder what happens next.

In addition to that I read four more pages of the Shin Kanzen Master Reading JLPT N1 book. I’m soon done with the book but I don’t seem to have improved that much. I still have a hard time picking the right answer. Maybe I need to read more to actually become better at it.

Read this week’s chapters of 極主夫道 and now I’m reading more 時のオカリナ. Just got to part where Link takes his seven year nap, so I’m about a third of the way through the book.

:newspaper_roll: NHK News Easy :newspaper_roll:
I decided to start off simple and read a short article. It looks like a research group at Kyoto University is trying to make a robot capable of laughing and having conversations. :eyes:
For the most part, I could understand what the article was about, and I only struggled with one word → 年寄り, but I was able to figure out the meaning when I hovered over the word for the definition. The definition had 老人 ( elderly person), which I already learned from WK. Great start to the month!

📘 Edelstein's Reading Log 📘


Hello! I joined in on the Winter 2022 reading challenge with Shirokuma Cafe, but quickly realized that manga was kicking my ass and I was way out of my depth. So, now after getting through Genki I and II along with progressing leaps and bounds in Japanese as a whole, I'm back! Good luck to everyone!

I’ll also be giving myself the option to listen to a podcast in lieu of reading, in case I can’t find the time for JP reading amongst my schoolwork. Haven’t decided if I’ll denote this differently yet, but I guess we’ll see.

:jack_o_lantern: Fall 2022 Home Post :fallen_leaf:

With traveling over summer and school starting I kind of stopped posting halfway through the last challenge, but it was a lot of help in getting me to read everyday even if it’s just a little, so I’m excited to join in again. I probably can’t post daily but I think I’ll shoot for an update every week. My plan this time is to focus mostly on novels. I also want to get more into the Halloween mood by picking some books that kind of fit that theme to read in October.
