Hello everyone!
Managed to keep up with daily reading these past few days, I’m happy about that
- 13/1:
教養366、26min and
私の幸せな結婚, went back to volume 2 to read the novel excerpt at the end since there were 2 pages I had left, and I just wanted to reread them in the morning. around 20min. - 14/1: 暁のヨナ for the bookclub read-aloud. having to read ch103 twice this week was heartbreaking…
教養366, 7min. - 15/1: 教養366, 20min.
10ぷん10分で読める伝記, Ieyasu’s biography this time. Honestly, all the 歴史366 from last year has me rather well-acquainted with names of that period and reading this was literally a breeze! - 16/1: 花野井くん、less than 10min before bed, too sleepy…
- 17/1: 花野井くん, ch. 5-6, 50min. Story is progressing, I still have my quelms about the lead character 花野井くん, but we’ll see where this goes…
