๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š Read every day challenge - Winter 2023 โ˜ƒโ„

:open_book: :desktop_computer: :snowman_with_snow: :snowflake: January 17

I was going to balance BU$TAFELLOWS and ใƒฆใƒผใ‚ธใƒ‹ใ‚ข today but then the former got really intense and I just had to finish the chapter. I ended up playing BU$TAFELLOWS ~2h so I only did a tiny ใƒฆใƒผใ‚ธใƒ‹ใ‚ข read (55% โ†’ 56%). Iโ€™m now caught up with the VN club so I think I can go back to normal.

Iโ€™m still in a very unmotivated mood for some reason. Yesterday I started the second book of ใƒใƒฅใƒ™ใƒญใƒผใ‚บใงๅพ…ใฃใฆใ‚‹, just because other people in the club had already started and I wanted to read the spoilers. At first I read it without much interest, but it very quickly managed to reel me back in, so I read three chapters in a row and would probably have continued if I had the time.

Then today I caught up with the Wild Ladies book club. Not sure if itโ€™s my mood or the book, but it feels less interesting than it did in the beginning, and quite hard. Iโ€™m sure part of it is the short story format, but also some stories feel harder, and with less reward, than others. From todayโ€™s two stories, one I liked, but the other one, I didnโ€™t get the point of it at all.

If I have time/energy I may read some more ใƒใƒฅใƒ™ใƒญใƒผใ‚บใงๅพ…ใฃใฆใ‚‹ today, or I may not.

Still not managed to read much.

18/1 6 pages ใ‚ทใƒฃใƒ‰ใƒผใƒใ‚ฆใ‚น

I leave Japan tomorrow :sob:

So Iโ€™ll probably read on the plane, though I suspect Iโ€™ll need a nap too!

I have a suitcase full of manga - I did buy the 10 volume pack I was looking at, plus volumes 13 and 14 - planning to go to the nearby Mandarake and buy 11-12 in the morning.

18th jan

continuing with ่Ÿฒๅธซ vol 2, chapter 4 flew by! of the stories in this volume this is definitely the one iโ€™ve liked the most so far, it has the same vibes as the stories that drew me in in the first one. itโ€™s about a guy whoโ€™s been trying to capture a strange rainbow to show to his ailing father, but also about purpose in life (seems to be running theme in the volume actuallyโ€ฆ). like a lot of these stories the ending is a little bittersweet. probably the easiest chapter to follow too!

words that stood out: ๆžถใ‘ใ‚‹ (ใ‹ใ‘ใ‚‹, just when i think iโ€™ve seen all the ใ‹ใ‘ใ‚‹s, thereโ€™s another one for specifically for bridges (or in this case rainbows)), ใ‚„ใ‘ (despair), ้—‡้›ฒ (reckless, haphazard, abrupt. initially thought this had a similar meaning to ้ป’้›ฒ, which would have made sense in context, but no!), and ่ฟ‘ใ—ใ„ (intimate, close. related to ่ฆชใ—ใ„, which can be read the same way)

Day 16
Today I only read 13 pages of a manga magazine.

But at least I managed to pass the reading part of my japanese test. Should some miracle happen and I somehow manage to pass the writing and speaking part I will again have much more time for reading.

Card Captor Sakura volume 6 & volume 7 โ€“ progress report
Yesterday: Continued up to page 175
Today: Continued up to page 189, finished chapter 26 and volume 6. :tada:
Began reading volume 7, read up to page 20.

Iโ€™m done with volume 6 and started the next one.
The latter started with another introduction of all characters โ€“ yet again. That would be 3rd time? :thinking:Are these introductions supposed to initiate the coming arc? Are they there because Card Captor Sakura used to be serialised in magazines or something and people needed a refresher after so many weeks? Frankly, I donโ€™t quite care but it always confuses me a little (though I donโ€™t hate them when it comes to reading them because they arenโ€™t too hard to understand).


I hope you get well soon without getting sick in the first place! :crossed_fingers:

Eughโ€ฆ didnโ€™t get to do any of my manga chapters yesterday because the manga hit a technical part (describing how to make lures) and it became too much of a hassle to read. Curse you, slice-of-life manga with a focus on a particular subjectโ€ฆ

Word of the Day: ๆˆ‘ใ‚ใŒ็‰ฉ้ก”ใ‚‚ใฎใŒใŠ - looking or acting as if one owned the place. Fairly obvious phrase but fitting all the same.

Middle/high school was a different timeโ€ฆ the sheer amount of awful shoujo manga I would devour without batting an eye, sometimes I wish I could go back to those days of simple gratification lmao.

โžณ January 18th.

What: NHK Easy news
Pages: One article.
Time: 5 minutes.

I think Iโ€™ve decided Wednesdays are the worst! Youโ€™d think it would be Monday, but Iโ€™m all charged up and okay again after the weekend. On Wednesdays I run out of steam and get home feeling like Iโ€™ve aged 5 years. Today I read one NHK news article and fell asleep on the couch :melting_face:

In better news, I went to Japanese class again. Today was the day I realized this course will mostly revolve around speakingโ€ฆ Which isโ€ฆ I have not been doing any speaking whatsoever since I started studying. We were doing basic introductions and the teacher told me to embellish my job title a little. Apparently university employees who are not researchers or teachers have low status in Japan? So she told me to call myself a ็ ”็ฉถใ‚ขใƒ‰ใƒใ‚คใ‚ถใƒผ to sound more important lol. Speaking was fun and I think Iโ€™m finally mature enough to not be embarrassed when being corrected. Also I was complimented on my pronunciation. Maybe she was being polite but Iโ€™ll take it. Itโ€™s Wednesday, I deserve this

Replies!

Thank you! :heart: I appreciate that.

Oh, totally. I could read for hours, days and weeks and never think about whether something was โ€œgoodโ€ or not. Iโ€™m getting picky in my old age and find myself dropping things immediately if they annoy me now, haha.

Today I reread the whole chapter 8 of Harry Potter 1 while listening to the audio book. I donโ€™t do this for each chapter, but sometimes I feel like it. There are alot of words that I can get the meaning but have no idea how to pronounce them. So the audio can help immensely and I donโ€™t need to look everything up in a dictionary. Unfortunately however, the audio book does not use the exact same text as the print version.

Anyways, phrase of the day: ใ†ใšใ†ใšใ™ใ‚‹ - itching to do something / being impatient to do something

Happy reading!

Summary

Iโ€™d say go for it! :eyes: :sparkles: Iโ€™ve only read the novels. In fact, I got into the series after seeing Naphthalene posting about the first book and giving it high reviews. I was intrigued, especially after seeing the gorgeous cover :joy: (It was also on sale on bookwalker, but I couldnโ€™t stop after finishing the first book, so I ended up getting the rest of the books, one by one, hehe.)

BU$TAFELLOWS :moneybag:

This first chapter never ends, guys. :sob: I just keep reading and keep reading and there is more. Like it is totally enjoyable but Iโ€™m trying to catch up with the club and at this stage, Iโ€™ll be lucky to finish chapter 2 before chapter 4 starts next weekโ€ฆ โ€ฆ โ€ฆ โ€ฆ

Favorite phrase/word from today: ใ‚ฑใƒผใ‚นใƒใ‚คใ‚ฑใƒผใ‚น

I might be close to the end of the chapter but it is almost midnight here and I just had another very large speech bubble/text box again with probably multiple words I need to look up, so I quit for the day.

I also had to shovel a lot of heavy snow today because when it snows at around the freezing point (0C), it is so wetโ€ฆ

And here I hoped Iโ€™d turn my schedule around after getting back from the US where I had a very different schedule, and yet I find myself pushing towards midnight like alwaysโ€ฆ :confused:

I read the second half of Tuberose (sorry, I never remember how to type that word and Iโ€™m on mobile so itโ€™s even worse). I thought it would take the whole flight but instead I had 45 min leftover to stew on that ending.

What a ride. The second book is longer so I probably wonโ€™t do the whole thing in one go, but Iโ€™ll see how far I get with it on my return flight in a few days.

I also need to go finally catch up to the thread!
