December 31st!
I went on a daytrip yesterday, but ended up staying with friends yesterday and today, so was woefully unprepared for doing any reading today - but no way was I breaking my streak on new years eve!
I had my tablet in my bag, so luckily I had access to bookwalker, but I needed to pick something simple enough to be able to read reasonably quickly, and without easy access to my usual dictionary etc. So I chose やがて君になる which has been on my to-read list for ages and managed to get through the whole first chapter ![]()

Its been a weird year - it started poorly with me having just quit my job, then I had an amazing few months where I had my first trip to Japan, and got a great new job. Sadly that didn’t work out so I’m going into the new year with a terrible sense of deja vu since I’ve just quit my job again. ![]()
But despite the ups and downs of the year, one thing that was really consistent was my motivation to learn Japanese, and this challenge was a huge factor in that.
Thank you all for supporting me through my 44 volumes of manga, and 1 light novel this year - I challenged myself a lot with reading tougher material, and it would have been really easy to become discouraged and give up if I didn’t have a community around me.
