What I plan on reading:
While I read NHK easy newspaper articles and other short texts when I was (still) going to Japanese classes, I’ve never read a whole manga or book in Japanese before. Therefore, this will be baby’s first steps territory for me.
The main book I’ll be reading is Aria: The masterpiece volume 1 and I plan on making use of the corresponding book club post and the vocab list to make things easier for me. I’d like to finish the first volume in November, so let’s see how far I’ll get.
Side note: I won’t have access to Aria – or rather I don’t fancy carrying around half a kilogram worth of books with my luggage – for 3 days because of a short work-related trip abroad. During these days I’ll switch to some screenshots from pages out of ‘Learn to Read in Japanese’ by R. Lake and N. Ura instead.
Next up, I’d like to thank @windupbird and @Redglare for coming up with and hosting this challenge and I want to add that your posts, @windupbird, have been the highlight of this month’s reading challenge for me. It’s quite delightful to witness the sheer amount of enthusiasm you have for the books you’ve been reading. 
Catching up on all posts, the Oprah way
The only thing left to do, is to pull an Oprah and try and give out as many likes as I can because everyone participating deserves it. It’s not easy to read and understand non-native material and the effort that got you this far is not to be underestimated after all!
Edit:
In accordance to what I said in my post on the 20th of November, I will alternate between reading Aria: the masterpiece and Card Captor Sakura from now on.
