Day 85!
I started reading 夜カフェ with the Beginner Book Club today, which I’ve been really looking forward to but have also been a little nervous about.
So far every attempt I’ve made to read a light novel, or short stories has been a real struggle and I’ve given up pretty quickly. I don’t know whether its just from many years of only reading horizontal text, but I’ve been finding it really hard to read vertically.
I keep losing my place - especially when I need to look away from the book regularly to look up words!
But I mentioned this to a friend recently and he suggested I try using a reading ruler to help me keep my place, so I bought one to try…and it worked. 
It still took me quite a long time, but I made it through the whole first chapter.
Thank you so much for the encouragement! It’s nice to hear that I’m not boring people with my constant Yotsuba talk. 
It’s just so lovely!
