Sept 16 - I (tried to) read 3 pages of 最後の一葉 from O. Henry (translated in Japanese) in my 10分で読めるお話 book. I didn’t understand much of it so I have to go back to it later. 
Sept 17 - I was outside all day long so I thought I would give up reading on this day, but then I saw @ Redglare’s reply on this thread and it motivated me to read a little bit!! I read 7 pages of the manga at the beginning of the Barakamon fanbook.
Sept 18 - I read two articles related to what’s been happening to me : one article about a Japanese cultural event that took place in Paris (it was really nice!!) and the other about the current France-Australia issue. I also read the first 3 pages of 海が消える from 佐藤さとる.
