📚📚 Read every day challenge - Winter 2022 ☃❄

Japanese Language Reading
#10

I’ve been playing about two months, and I’m really enjoying it (in eng tho)! I can play for short increments due to the way quests are set up which is nice, and the music and world is gorgeous. Patch 2.4 is coming soon with another lantern rite event I think. Both Niers are fantastic as well and I’m considering a replay in Japanese after work let’s up a bit in march.

I want to get through my backlog of (mostly free…) manga so I’m thinking I’ll join the challenge to try to do that, although I might not make every day with how busy my job is atm.

Looking forward to reading with everyone again!

I think I’ll be sticking with reading a daily Hukumusume story for the time being as my reading is still slow and patchy. But I’ll be seeing where the wind takes me, no doubt I’ll fall down some rabbit-hole along the way.

I would love to read some Japanese history at some point, though I realise this will be scary-difficult - butttt I’ll see what this challenge has in store!

Thanks for hosting the thread again, @windupbird ! :raccoon:

Hi! My first time trying to participate in a challenge like this while also engaging with the community- nice to meet everyone!
I have a whole bunch of manga on my kindle I want to knock out, and a whole bunch of textbooks I’m trying to get through.
I also want to try Genshin, I’ve tried before but it was really difficult for me haha. Do you guys have any tips to make sure I remember and keep myself accountable that have worked for you? I tend to forget completely but I’m gonna try real hard! I’m going to set notifications on my phone as a beginning safety net but if anyone else has any tips I’d love to hear them!!

Editing for calendar!

I will participate in this thread again. Thanks to the Read Everyday Challenge threads I read over 5000 pages this year which is pretty much nothing considering that I probably still have around 100000 pages to read in my backlog.

Yeah I will read much more in 2022.

I’m planning to do the extensive reading challenge /thread in the new year, but kind of want to join this to push myself into a habit of reading more articles online. Books are a set habit, but the writing style+vocab of casual (non news) web content is something I can see myself benefiting from reading more of.
Can I do both? Or better to stick everything into one place?

EDIT to add calendar so I don’t spam with a new post

What I'll be reading

I’ll probably be reading some blog posts, meaning book articles, random stuff on p-dress (or similar content sites), and maybe some technical articles from Qiita so I can get more comfy with terminology in my field. Anything long form is fair game.

Goals

Just get into the groove of reading more non-literary Japanese. I’m very comfortable with books now, but my interaction with articles is largely “find the info I need and exit”; rarely do I read anything in depth. I think closer reading of this type of Japanese might help improve my own writing and maybe even speaking as I’ll get more exposure to how to naturally convey thoughts and opinions.

I like having checkboxes in my calendar because then I can click a box after each day. Satisfying! :durtle_love:

Books

My plan is to read some books with the book clubs:

If I have time, I’d like to start reading 本好きの下剋上 vol. 8, which is the first book of the third arc in the series.

I like having the links to my daily updates separate from my calendar.

Hi all,

I want to participate again! :hugs:

I’m planning to read:

  • :abacus:   笑わない数学者 (with the book club, started on Dec 24th)
  • :crossed_swords:   鬼滅の刃3 (started recently but did not get very far yet)
  • :church:   大聖堂 (The Pillars of the Earth) (new project with Japanese friend)
  • :prince:   星の王子さま (The Little Prince) (this is my sauna book because I’m not allowed to read digital books there)
  • plus I need to clean up a few manga that I started but never finished

I already finished:

  • :barber:   海の見える理髪店 (need to finish this one for good! Only 60 or so pages to go)

I gave up on:

  • :house:   本陣殺人事件 (with the book club, will appropriately start on Jan 1st)

Looking forward to reading again with all of you!

EDIT: I figured maybe a calendar would not be the worst of ideas after all :joy_cat: I will mark each day with the book(s) I read (or mainly read) on that day:

First of all, welcome! :grin: Glad to have you join us! In terms of remembering to read daily, I think making it a specific part of my daily routine has helped me. For past challenges, my routine has been, I get home from work/finish working, eat dinner, then read as much or as little as I’m feeling up to that day (usually shooting for at least half an hour of time). Then I post an update here before launching into my “I’m done with the day” activities (which usually means watching TV for hours on end because once I start, I find it very difficult to stop :sweat_smile:). Not sure if that’s super helpful, but that’s what I do - I think posting in the thread daily can be really helpful in terms of accountability, and/or creating a calendar “main post” to check off boxes for each day that you read.

You can absolutely do both! The two definitely aren’t mutually exclusive (and can even be complementary to one another, since they have slightly different focuses/time frames/approaches to goal setting). If you’d like to set book reading goals in the tadoku thread and use this thread to work on reading other types of content, you’re more than welcome to do so ^^ I say use whatever thread or combination of threads you feel like will work best for you and what you’d like to do/accomplish.

Absolutely agree! It’s what hooked me the most, I thought both were amazing :slightly_smiling_face: .

It only takes one post from @windupbird to enslave the minds of half of the thread towards cute animals and dark ways. Prevail, everyone! :eyes: hisssss Just kidding, please do.

First of all, welcome! :tada: I hope you have a good time in the community.

As for your question, I would personally recommend to ditch anything you’re not really feeling. You don’t have to finish things just because you started them necessarily; if you don’t enjoy it anymore, I’d say throw it away and pick something new that you do. Unless you do enjoy it but are currently going through a dry moment, in which case I personally think it’s fine to push through, if you are nonetheless interested in what’s happening next or something like a dry resource, like textbooks and so on. Other than that, as @windupbird mentioned, I think posting updates frequently (many of us do it daily) and engaging with the thread’s discussion or simply posting what you did is a huge help that keeps you coming back every day to the dynamic of reading → posting, and so on. Ultimately I think it’s healthy to have a balance between the challenge being work that can push your ability further, and also something that you enjoy doing.

Goals
  • improve :running_woman:
  • finish/continue some of the many things I’ve started/bought already, or decide that I’m not interested anymore. Either way: sort through the mess that’s my currently reading/tbr pile and don’t start a million things at once :grimacing:
On tracking

I think I’d like to keep track of how much I’m reading to an extend, but without too much detail. Just out of curiosity because I seem to have no good sense of how regularily I’m actually reading. I’ve tried tracking time or pages before but that apparently just stresses me out and makes something feel like a chore that isn’t one at all, so I’d rather not do that again (even though I sort of envy people who do that and then have cool stats at the end!)
During the first or second challenge someone here used a system where they just tracked if they read “a little” or “a lot” or something like that, roughly estimated without a timer - I really like that concept! I can’t for the life of me remember who that was, whoever you are, I hope it’s ok that I’m stealing your idea :pray:

Reading list (for now)

novels / light novels

  • 地球星人 (book club! :books:)
  • NO. 6 volume 2 (I have maybe 20 pages left of vol. 1, I’m gonna be optimistic and assume I can still finish it this year)

manga

  • Death Note Vol. 1 (book club! :notebook:)

games

  • Doreamon Story of Seasons :woman_farmer: :carrot:

+ maybe other stuff from my tbr/currently reading pile.

Things I actually read during the challenge
  • 地球星人 (20% - ?) [ongoing]
  • orange (0% - ?) [ongoing]

I’ve followed the other two threads to an extend but this is the first time I’m joining in - looking forward to seeing what you’re all reading! :slightly_smiling_face:

What I'll be reading

In short, I’d like to read one page a day of anything. If I don’t have to look up a word or anything because I can’t figure out context then I’ll read another page (and another, and another, until I have to look something up, but maybe I’ll stop at 50 pages haha).

レンタルおにいちゃん - My first focus will be continuing with this as I think I dropped off somewhere in vol.2, so I’ll start that again from the beginning. If I manage to get through vol.2, I’ll either start vol.3 or switch back to よつばと！. These should be easy enough that I’ll either start wanting to move on to something more difficult again, or manage to make significant progress through each series in 2022.

Animal Crossing - I stopped playing this in Japanese for a while, so I’m going to switch back. I’ll be logging in to check turnip prices twice a day so if I don’t plan on playing any more than that on a specific day, making sure I fit in one conversation with an islander per day along with a turnip price check is a good start to building confidence back there.

Pokemon Cafe ReMix - Already playing this in Japanese, maybe I should actually log in every day to play a level rather than once a week for an easy bit of immersion?

I’ve started reading Barks articles just on the side because I’m enjoying learning new ways to talk about music, but I don’t really want to set any targets here.

I’m going to post what I’m reading in Japanese, but also what I’m reading in Mandarin (underneath a cut). Putting them together ups my motivation for both, so I hope it’s all right to include my Mandarin reading in my updates. I have big goals for reading in both languages in 2022, so よろしくお願いします!

Things I'm planning to read

若草物語 (Little Women book 2)
My textbook :skull:
Undertale/Deltarune (but in japanese) lol
I’ll see if i can get my hands on some japanese books/manga/whatever :]

My goals for this

I want to be able to read faster and obv comprehend stuff, but tbh I’m not at a very high level of comprehension so I’m focusing more on being able to read and recognize the characters/kanji (so then it’ll be easier for me to comprehend things xD)

Key

:x: = didn’t read
:white_check_mark: = read for 30 minutes or more
:star: = read for an hour or more

Background

Well, the fall challenge didn’t go super well for me (I think I checked off like six boxes total? whoops :joy:) so here goes take two! I feel like I’m at a point where my biggest weak point is just sheer quantity of vocabulary (and comprehension speed but well. that’s a work in progress) and what better way to work on that than to read more.

I’ve been reading manga lately to try to do so and I’ve been really enjoying it! It’s still difficult for sure, but as expected my problem is really just vocabulary. 99% of the time once I look up the words I don’t know I understand what’s being said just fine, and that feels really good! It’s a great feeling to be able to genuinely enjoy a story in Japanese, as hard as it may be sometimes - I’ve definitely come a long way :blush:

It’s winter break right now so finding time for reading has been easy; the real test comes when school starts back up. Here’s hoping :joy:

What I'm Reading

I have a bunch of first volumes of various manga from a mandarake order a while back to let me try out different series, many of which I either haven’t touched yet or have found overwhelming in the past. But as I also have no self-control, I have a fresh mandarake order on the way as a Christmas present, where I had a much better concept of what I’d like to read than the guesswork on my previous order :joy:

So with that I’ll have a number of different series I can try out; I also ordered a few light novels, so we’ll see how I like them! Lately I’ve been reading ラストゲーム on a whim - it’s one that I bought the first volume of in my old mandarake order, and I just got around to reading it. I’ve been enjoying it a lot, very much shoujo rom-com chaos as is often my brand, and the rest of the series is on the way now, so I’m looking forward to (hopefully) reading the rest of that! That’s 11 volumes so at my speed that may very well take me beyond this challenge even, but we’ll see! :grin:

Thank you so much! I’ll try to do that - maybe it’d be good as a before-bed-wind-down activity for me!

Thank you!! I tend to try to finish things because I start them, so having that reminder is nice!

I appreaciate the advice from everyone !

「ヲタドル」四巻を読みました。急に終わった気がするんですが、やっぱり最終話が可愛くてシリーズを読んでよかった。恋の展開もちょうどいいし、急かした終わりなりに、突然の付き合いじゃなく、主人公同士が優しくお互い見守ろうという感でした。

1月７日

「花野井くんと恋の病」６巻読み終わりました。花野井くんの笑顔が眩しすぎるんですけど？！心臓に悪いか最高か分からないです。

はめふら６巻を１００ページぐらい読みました。セリフが多くて、つまらないところがあったと思います。ストーリ全体の成り行きが曖昧で、もっと大きいイベントが欲しいです。
