📚📚 Read every day challenge - Summer 2021 🏖🏖

Main post

How come I always found time to read each day and as soon as I decided to join this challenge it’s been ridiculously busy… :sweat_smile:

June 3 - was so busy, had to stay up past midnight just so I could get 3.5 pages of 夏目友人帳 read.

June 4 - another busy day, also had to stay up late to get some reading in, 4 pages of 夏目友人帳 this time.
June 5 - rinse and repeat, busy day, managed to read 3.5 pages of 夏目友人帳.
At this point I was getting really discouraged since my reading speed was so slow. Excluding my past attempts at reading No. 6 and Durarara!! 7+ years ago this is my first serious attempt at reading a light novel. The lack of furigana and the author’s penchant for using less common vocabulary isn’t helping with the speed either. It was late, I was tired, but I also wanted to get some more reading in so I decided to read some manga. Read 21 pages of 乙女ゲーム without much trouble. I think I’m going to mix up my reading a bit - read the light novel when I have a lot of free time and the mental enegery needed to tackle it and stick to manga when I just want to get the bare minimum reading in.
