I stumbled across this book recently, and though it wasn’t what I expected (I thought it would be stories, not random lines… and it has romaji XD ) I found it quite fun to read and the very direct translations and varying grammar helps me catch so much! i like it!
I did manage to do a chapter a day for a while (about 4 pages)
I only use the lines as reading practice, not their Kanji mnemonics part
Tofugu = our WaniKani overlords
Also, isn’t that the very Kristen who used to be a WK moderator? It’s quite possible that’s the very same Kristen!
P. S.
そうですね。
I’m pretty sure it is!
(Used to be? What did i miss?)
Well, she resigned from being a moderator and deleted her account two years ago… 
That explains why I couldn’t find her username when I tried to tag her (To show I found her “in the wild”)
This sounds like a really cool idea! I also do not have a summer vacation (
) however I am trying to read at least something everyday so good to have a bit more motivation!
I’m currently reading ハイキュー3 with the book club here, and just about to start on よつばと3 & 魔女の宅急便1 in a mini book club with with some pals (we’ve previously read the first 2 よつばと but this will be our first foray into books, scary!). I’m also reading ナルト 1 as a chill non book club read, and やがて君になる2 (but as that’s on my iPad rather than physical it’s on the back burner for now). So many things to read, too little time!
i’d really like to try out demon slayer, although i’ll go VERY slowly
Well, there’s my excuse to get to reading 「名探偵コナン 瞳の中の暗殺者」.
I haven’t yet finished any book I’ve started. But if I split this one over about 60 days, it should be very manageable daily amounts.
And I read another part of the five part of an Ask Graded reader level 4 volume. So I’ve gotten started on my read every day summer. Also no summer vacation here either, but doesn’t have to be a lot read each day, ne. ^^
Basically that’s what I’ve been doing for more than a year now, so yay 
I’ve long since run out of excuses for not starting to read more regularly. Count me in on this challenge! ^>^
Yes, I absolutely love this idea! I’ve booked some time off this summer and now I have every excuse to spend it on (slowly 
) reading.
For now I hope to finish both「 夏目友人帳 ~うつせみに結ぶ~」and volume 1 of the manga version of 「乙女ゲームの破滅フラグしかない悪役令嬢に転生してしまった…」.
Good luck to everybody participating!

Same here
Here’s my bookshelf on bookwalker.jp:
Don’t let those “100%” misguide you - I haven’t yet finished any of them, 100% just means that I’ve browsed through the book.
Right now I’m reading the first volume of はたらく細胞 manga (today finished the third chapter out of 4), so that 77% is actually accurate.
After that I plan to read the light novel version of はたらく細胞 - then, if all goes well, I’ll buy and read other volumes of the light novel, then I will finish the other books I have - and then I will buy and read the other manga volumes, at least that’s the plan.
I’ll bite too! It’s a nice and beneficial idea ^^
How do you all plan to keep track of it? Do you prefer to keep a personal registry or do you want to have a common wiki one?
Absolutely awesome idea! As a perpetual straggler with “get on reading wagon”, I’m super happy you created this post!
Will update tonight with my progress.
Yay! 
Glad to have you onboard 
I think I personally prefer writing a post for each day. There’s no right or wrong way, if someone rather wants one post per week or something like that they can go for that approach too. I think I might write stuff like long term goals sometime (i.e. books I want to have read), how much I’ve read each day, maybe about the contents or plot unless it’s a book club book (while using blurred text to avoid spoilers 
), stuff like that. But each to their own! Feel free to post whatever fits you best 
I did reserve the second post just in case, but I’m not sure 
What do you guys think?
I’m off to sleep now 
Im gonna participate! I will take this as reading a little outside of textbook. I honestly can’t read much but I at least will try to read through short stories with what I can and slowly hopefully I can understand more and more as the next months go by! Summer lasts til September here (wooo California) so that gives me three months to gauge progress
Today I read through the first two chapters of チーズスイートホーム (Chi’s Sweet Home). I bought it forever ago and havent even attempted to read it. The grammar seems fairly basic but it gets kinda tricky when Chi changes the words up lmao It is nice to be learning new words since my vocabulary is pretty limited.
Same here. I like reading other people posts for inspirations, and more posts means more likes to give (and recieve).
As for a wiki, would be nice to have one with summary table listing participants, and maybe few optional stats, like date joined and number of days completed. I can see from the thread that reading level and ambitions of participants vary greatly. We have a professional anime translator and fluent speakers, along with beginners, so I would not put something like number of pages into the summary table.
