Today’s reading was manga club catch up. Both kind of slow by my standards, but I think the relative progress probably also says something about the relative difficulty.

Finished the last side story and thereby book 31 :3! It was good, could’ve been better. So many side stories at the end.

Took me a bit to be sure whose point of view the prologue was written in. Usually there’s a name within the first few sentences, but now there were a ton of names and I thought it was two other characters first until much later. It was confusing. Had to backtrack a bit.

I haven’t updated in over 10 days, mostly due to being out of signal for 6 days on a dive boat. Sadly the trip didn’t go very well - I got pretty unwell the day I got on the boat, so missed over half the dives. To be honest, probably shouldn’t have dived at all.
I had a couple of minimal read days before the trip, then did pretty well while travelling there. I then did pretty well considering how bad I was feeling!
I’ve kept up to date with all my manga clubs, but fallen badly behind in the book clubs as I didn’t have the concentration. To make up for that, I’ve actually read ahead a whole volume of とんがり帽子のアトリエ, which was one of the few things I managed to focus on while sick. I read a bit more 魔女の宅急便 the last couple of days.
So next target is to catch up with my two book clubs. Will be challenging, but I think I can do it. I’m still not 100% though.
My iPad also decided to die last night. Haven’t posted yesterday’s data as that hadn’t updated in notes. Luckily I’d just bought a new one which was partially set up, but I hadn’t saved my Bookwalker library. Trying to revive the old one, otherwise I’ll just have to set it all up again.

Today I read the VN The Expression Amrilato. Using Japanese to learn another language (Juliamo, aka Esperanto). It’s so much fun! And so frustrating when my Japanese isn’t really good enough to understand everything. Also frustrating when, rather than using romaji, they use hiragana to explain the sounds of Julaiamo. Let’s just say that even though Hiragana is perfect to write Japanese, it doesn’t really work to describe the sounds of another language! But that’s just part of the fun. It’s supposed to be frustrating when you’re dumped in the middle of a world where you don’t understand the language!

Spent the entire morning from 8 to 11:30 reading. Had some errands and chores I wanted to get done. Continued reading at 20 and here I am now writing this at 1:30, just reached the epilogue at 70%. Approximately 8 hours of reading? Nice.
Tomorrow is last day of November. Would be nice if I could check off box as “book finished”.

I finished Volume 5 of とんがり帽子のアトリエ today.

Finished ルリドラゴン Volume 2 today. I enjoyed it, but it felt a lot weaker than Volume 1 did - I hope the story picks back up more when volume 3 comes out.

Chapter 6 of 約束のネバーランド today.

A chapter of 葬送のフリーレン

Today I started reading the first volume of からかい上手の 元 高木さん. I read the first 2 chapters and they were super cute!
I also read one page of the Orange Light Novel, but then I realised it was later than I thought it was and I needed to get ready for work!
November 29th!
Today I read Chapter 7 of 約束のネバーランド - and finished off Volume 1.
It’s not often I get to finish this many volumes in the space of a few days!
