📚📚 Read every day challenge - Summer 2023 😎☀

I already posted this on the Natively forum, but I thought I’d cheat and post here too, because polls are always fun, right?

(double voters welcome, this isn’t a national election!)

What books should I buy next?
Bookwalker currently offers 50% coin back for purchases over 1500 yen, and I can never resist buying new books. :grin: So, which of these options do you think I should go for?

  • image 鳴かずのカッコウ
    (A Japanese spy novel!)
  • image image image
    , 穴屋でございます and 爪と目
    (First two because I’ve developed a thematic interest in holes in literature, and third one to reach 1500 and because I’ve been vaguely interested in it. All three are short stories)
  • image 街とその不確かな壁
    (The latest Murakami. Crazy expensive at 2970 yen though, even with the 50% offer)
  • image image リカ and 本性
    (Both seem to be about creepy women. I’ll likely get Rika sooner or later in any case, for the Spooky Summer club)
  • image image 正欲 and 今昔百鬼拾遺 鬼
    (First one seems to be very popular lately, about sexual minorities, second one is a mystery with yokai elements. I’ve been vaguely interested in both for ages)

Oh, and today I haven’t read anything yet, but I hope I can squeeze in next week’s あん reading - travelling from tomorrow, so I’d like to not have to worry about book clubs. Who knows how much reading time I’ll have.
