📚📚 Read every day challenge - Summer 2021 🏖🏖

Oh well, this thread is perfect :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: I’ve fallen off the wagon big time on reading Japanese (these past few months, I’ve barely read at all), so this sounds like a good way to get back on track. There will probably be days when I read like…one page, but I will push myself to do at least 1-2 pages per day! Consistency is always my biggest battle, and beginning to read is often the hardest part.

I will start - right now!

Day 1: June 1st
What did I read?: よつばと!Vol 15, because I am supposed to be reading with the book club and I am behind
How much did I read?: 1 chapter (47 pages)
How long did it take me?: Um…20 min? (I forgot to look when I started :bowing_woman:)

Some Yotsuba reflections

Yotsuba has become a really pleasant reading experience for me over the years. When I started with Vol 1, it did not feel that way. …Actually, Vol 1 might have been the first real Japanese text I ever tried to read, now that I think about it. :thinking: Fast forward to Vol 15, and I can now read it pretty comfortably most of the time, once I actually pick up the book. I could almost actually…try reading it without quick access to a dictionary? Like on a bus or train? :o Blasphemy! It was also the first series I could read well enough to actually laugh at in real time (vs. several minutes later when I finally finished looking things up xD). I’ve definitely grown with the series.
