Going to try to keep up with both the reading and listening challenges this spring. I took a lovely 10-day break from Japanese novels and listening and now I have lots to catch up on! Unsure how much travelling I’ll be doing when back in Japan, and whether I’ll be able to read much, so may start being consistent either in a few days, or closer to April 10th. Basically, easing back in gently over the next week or so, then time to go harder than ever.

Goals:

  • Read many novels.
  • Read a few manga.
  • Play many games. Maybe something other than Pokémon once I finish the next one I have lined up.
  • Start a visual novel(?) - maybe Umineko or Higurashi

Finished 2 books today! Number 10 and 11 of challenge, I think. Both were ranging from OK to Good at points. I think 変な絵 is a better early novel to read than 変な家, and also probably just a better book in general.

This now frees up some more space to start books, with only 冷たい密室 and 乳と卵 “ongoing” (木曜日 I will get back to at some point but not for a while, probably when the book club gets further in). So I’ve started 神様の定食屋 which I keep seeing everywhere. Tomorrow I’ll probably start book 4 from the コーヒーが冷めないうちに series as well, which I keep putting off.

I will read a bit before bed tonight but only a little, and most of this evening I’ll watch stuff, so I’ll end here for now.
