Love this idea! I’m trying to get back into it and this might just be what I need. I have absolutely no idea what I should read though, so we’ll see what happens 
I don’t have a lot of free time so I might just have to set the bar really low

Hi! 
I’m new to posting on the forums, looking forward to taking part in this! I’ll be chaotically switching between a few manga (including 古見さんはコミュ症です、 やがて君になる、私を喰べたい人でなし), and some video games as well (Monster Hunter Stories 1 initially). I’m a pretty slow reader just now - hopefully I’ll speed up as this goes on and learn some more grammar too!

My Study Log
My home post in the Listen every day challenge
I missed this challenge. I could have tried to continue it during December, but it was way too stressful. Here’s to a more chill year.
- DrDru’s stories (this is were I stopped last challenge) - this time I’m gonna finish them! Try for two per day, or :
- Kiki’s Delivery Service - One page per day
- DrDru’s Tileworld Chronicles

Reading streak: 193 days
Hello hello again everyone! I see many familiar faces so far from the fall reading challenge but some new ones as well! I look forward to reading together with all of you!
Currently Reading:
- Manga: 三ツ星カラーズ７ + abbc and bbc picks
- Book: on break
- Textbook: 新完全マスター読解N3
- News: NHK News Web Easy/Wikipedia
- Game: ポケモン サファイア and どうぶつの森e+
Goals:
Like with the last challenge my primary goal is just to miss no days of reading and keep that reading streak going! I’m still defining a successful reading day as one chapter of manga, since that has been doable for me even on busy/bad days.
I also have been thinking ahead a little bit about my long term goals for 2023, and what I will need to start doing now in order to achieve them. My main three goals for 2023 are:
- Finish every volume of manga I currently physically own (not nec. including any new stuff I buy this year, but just clear out stuff so it doesn’t get buried by the new) - This is going to work out to around 66冊 in 52 weeks, so a little bit more than 1 a week on average. Doable! For this challenge I’d like to knock out the rest of ホリミヤ for sure, and then probably either 三ツ星カラーズ or しろくまカフェ to fill out some time, and then start working on 3月のリオン in earnest during the titular month.
- I want to transition into reading more stuff which is pure text. Little less specific since I don’t have the experience here to know what I’m going to want to read or what I will like reading! But, I hope to have a better understanding of that by the end of this seasonal challenge. I want to read at least one volume of either a childrens book, light novel, or a full collection of short stories.
- Be prepared to take the JLPT N2 test by December 2023. Maybe this is a bit ambitious, but I think it’s probably doable. Whether I actually sit for the test or not, I’d like to be at a level where I would feel comfortable doing it. For this reading challenge, I’d like to finish working through the 新完全マスター読解N3 book that’s been sitting on my desk since last summer.
So there we go! With some measurable and potentially achievable, but still challenging goals set, let’s get reading! 皆さん、頑張ってください！(and thank you for hosting again @windupbird !!)

New year, new reading! Thanks again @windupbird for being the reading host!
Looking forward to reading along with everyone else, I still need to find something to read.
Finally decided on what to read, got pretty obsessed with ancient Chinese literature lately (currently reading Three Kingdoms again (in English)) so I have a craving for reading about samurai and bloody battles of ancient times so… what else to try and attempt to read but 新書太閤記 by 吉川 英治??
(In English I think it’s translated to “Taiko: An Epic Novel of War and Glory in Feudal Japan” by Eiji Yoshikawa, but it’s about the Sengoku period with the constant upheaval of power to unite Japan; Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, Ieyasu and all those guys)
Perhaps I will regret this later, this this is very long (900 pages or something, split into 11 books/volumes), but there is no going back now, I am committed.

Memoria’s Home Post!
I’m very excited to be doing this again! I did the summer challenge, so my last sign of life on this forum was on August 31st. Many things happened in my life over the past few months. Wanikani maintenance was the only thing I had time and energy to do. I kept telling myself to read and study more, but those reviews were always looming over my head…
So I’m on a Wanikani break. My subscription runs out before New Years, and I don’t know if/when I’ll get back to it. I have a solid kanji foundation, so now I want to immerse and mine vocabulary from books and games. I’m tracking my study time to make sure I don’t fall off the wagon. This challenge is a great way to stay accountable as well.
Anyway, enough background info. Calendar and reading material time!

I plan on reading the couple of absolute beginner manga I have first and if Iv enjoy vol. 1 I’ll finish the series. Otherwise I’ll keep writing manga either currently being read by the book clubs on here or ones that have already finished to work up to reading LN. I’m not going to use a calendar because I’m terrible about updating it lol

Count me in!
I’ve managed to read every day so far in 2022, so I’m hoping to keep that streak going through 2023 too!
Thanks for hosting again @windupbird - I credit a lot of my improvement throughout 2022 to the motivation from these threads.

Total: 45/59 which is 76.2% so just barely passing if I were still in school…
Will likely stick to SatoriReader because I’m not that confident about my grammar just yet. Maybe some NHK Easy News as well. But I’ve also committed to joining the next book/manga chosen for the ABBC.
Excited to join to hold myself accountable although I have to say I’m pretty intimidated about everyone’s reading capacity and level here!
Putting some cute emojis on my calendar to show what I read for each day and also linking each post, if any, to the emoji so I can look back on it later on. Legend of things I will or hope to read during this challenge:
-
コナの大冒険
-
Sakura and Suzuki’s Long Distance Relationship -
NHK Easy News
-
からかい上手の高木さん
-
Song lyrics
-
Coffee Talk in Japanese
-
まめねこ あずきとだいず
-
First Japanese Graded Reader

We all start somewhere. I know my early attempts are displayed at different parts of the forum. If you choose to use the book clubs threads for Chi’s Sweet Home (volume 1) or 結婚しても愛してる, and many more places.
Heck, I was still reading graded readers last year in April/May, even if the higher levels ones.
We all grow, and if you stick with us 
I’m sure you’ll be reading ever more advanced stuff. ^^
We’ve had several people finishing their first manga/light novel/novel, and have in the past (and I’m sure currently have) people reading graded readers, satori reader, and so on.
What I love about these challenges so much is that we can all come together to read, and our different levels of ability means nothing.
So please feel welcome! And if you have trouble understanding something, feel free to ask right here. That is a benefit of having people of all levels hanging out together, someone further ahead can give you a lending hand.

Thank you so much for the encouraging words! 
Really appreciated!
My goal is to get from Satori Reader to manga to novels so glad to hear that people have been able to do that through this challenge.
I feel like I’m already starting the new year right!

Thanks for hosting another challenge @windupbird! 
I can’t believe we’re still going after 1.5 years! And it’s delightful to see both new and familiar usernames in the thread 
Wishing everyone a happy new year~

I can’t believe it’s time for another reading challenge! I was looking forward to this so much :333 I didn’t manage to follow through in the Spring and Summer, and was too burnt out to consider doing the challenge in Autumn, but I think I am ready to give this another go. Third time’s the charm right? 
Planning to pick up where I left off last time, before I got completely consumed by uni, and finish ‘Kafka on the Shore’ - at least the first part for the time being. I’ve also got my eyes on ‘Before the Coffee Gets Cold’, though I have absolutely no idea what to expect from it. I’ll most likely end up perusing through some other reading materials too, but I suppose the main focus will be finishing Kafka on the Shore.
I’m also expecting to have a surplus of free time in the coming months - so I’m hoping I’ll be able to immerse myself more in reading :3
Edit: I just remembered that I’ve seen some people also tracking their other language reading goals in previous threads - and I’ve just recently started with Russian, and got a whole list of books I’m dying to read. So this will be my little side quest!

Nanashi’s First Reading Challenge Home Post
I must admit I’m pretty intimidated by this, but hey, nothing great ever came from staying in your comfort zone 
Resources: Orange, コンビニ人間, Japanese Stories for Language Learners, Shin Kanzen Master N2 Reading, and news articles for lazy/busy days
Not sure yet if I will rotate between different things, or stick to one/two, but it’s good to know I have a variety of resources to choose from in case fatigue kicks in.
My goals: stick to it for as long as I can and, most importantly, have fun

Update 22nd Jan:
This challenge didn’t exactly start the way I wanted it to Spending time at in law’s in the first weeks was more overwhelming than I thought so I decided to postpone my start. Then I got sick when I came back home which delayed it even further. But I’m back now and that’s what counts
Practiced reading with SKM N2 these past two days. It is a jump from N3 for sure, but it being more challenging than the usual manga/articles I read it’s also motivating me to do WK lessons and reviews. Can’t wait to look back at these first pages and see how far I’ve come

Hey there!
My new year resolution is, as many here, keep a solid learning habit. This year will be my first time joining a post and trying to commit to it. I’ll be updating here as much as I can.
よろしくね！

Finally populated my home post for anyone interested.
@Nanashi96 There is currently an active book club reading Orange. We’re just about to finish volume 5. And even if you’re not that far along the series yet. Feel free to hang out in the threads. We’ll be happy to answer any questions if you have them. And we have done quite a bit of speculating and such, if you find that stuff fun.
コンビニ人間 have a previous book club too, if you didn’t know.
