December 3rd :evergreen_tree:

…wait a minute, yesterday I said I read 鼻 thinking it was the pre-vetted pick, but it was actually the mystery pick not that it really matters, I read anyway guess I was just drawn to more Akutagawa :sweat_smile:

Anyway, today I did read the pre-vetted pick with it being マスク, I found this one a bit wordy so it took awhile to get through each sentence, but not too bad - other than a few old-ities, it felt pretty modern.

How do you keep track in your head of all these books? Not even in my native language do I read so many books at 1 time. (I may start one and leave off for awhile and go to another but not consistently reading many different books in a day).

A lot of these on my list at the moment are just sat there and I’m not currently reading, just will go back to them at some point when I have more time.
But if I’m actively reading maybe 4 or 5 books in 1 day sometimes, I don’t find it that hard to keep track. I keep notes for names of characters for reference which is probably one of the harder things to keep track of, but the stories I don’t find so hard. Usually some of them are ongoing series which I know the characters and stories well which helps

I read 17 pages in about 4 sessions, 90 minutes of 修学旅行で仲良くないグループに入りました, so I am now at 132 of 248 (52%). I have just caught up with the drama (I am in the middle of the confession scene).

I played 英雄伝説 碧の軌跡 and started the quest fighting the ghosts in the temple. It was short I though I would once again need to clear the whole area.

Started Happiness to try to get a leg up on the reading advent challenge. While I’ve gotten 50 pages in in only like 15 min, I don’t like it so far. I’ve got 3 volumes and I have a feeling they’re going to end up in my sell-back pile quickly.

I finished vol 1. I think I see what it’s going for vampirism-wise. Also, I thought they were middle schoolers, but Natively says they’re high schoolers. I like that a bit better, but I think the older I get, the less I enjoy stories that revolve around grade schoolers

Have you already done 1000 paper cranes in a year? Could be a fun one if not!

Would you like instructions on the next Challenge thread on how to hide/show inactive books easily? (private poll)
  • Yes
  • Maybe, I already know how to do it, but it would be helpful for new people
  • Maybe, but for the sake of others and not myself since I don’t know how and won’t do it
  • No
  • Other (please comment)

You might have noticed this challenge didn’t have the instructions that I normally add. I just want to check if people prefer that or not

December 4th :evergreen_tree:

Read both the stories for the advent today, and both are about death - wait, I guess that might be intentional since it’s the 4th and 四 could be read as し ( 死) :thinking:

Since 死体置場への招待 is about a mortician there was a few technical terms that I hadn’t seen before like - 蛋白質 (たんぱくしつ) = proteins (as in biological compounds).

I enjoyed how morbid this one was. I feel I may be one of the few hoping for absolute deranged, morbid and wild stories from the mystery picks :laughing:

I feel burnt out after the crazy couple of weeks full with the exam prep, I’m recovering this week. I also had a couple of busy days, but I tried to sleep as much as I could and don’t push myself. I hope that after the exam I’ll be ready to return to my usual reading routine :face_with_steam_from_nose:

国宝, 0.0% → 1.2%, 19m

Though I’d start reading the book club which started like 2.5 week ago already. I already like the language, but decided to spend some time reading about Yakuza and kabuki vocab, which I did a bit (not tracked).

日本語: 新刊全マスター・文法, 34m

Just a bit of flipping through the book.

魔女の宅急便、〜89/89 ヾ(≧∇≦*)/やったー!読み終わった!
Fun read but looking forward to returning to reading 大人向けの小説. I find reading long strings of hiragana tiring.
