12th april :cherry_blossom:

little bit of the world ends with you. was planning to do more but it’s still introducing mechanics. read a lot of he who drowned the world cos i’m coming up against the deadline to return it to the library. got about 100 pages to go in two/three days :crossed_fingers:

Ninth time participating! I decided to get myself a natively account to keep track of the Japanese books I’m reading. When I was entering the start and finished books I read in past I realized that I read less and less. So I want to get through this slump this month and finish the book I’m reading which I’m a quarter way in.

my plans

Just want to read more books at this point. After pretty much a whole year that went without reading much I realized that I craved reading books. I somehow don’t have any difficulty reading right now and want to take advantage of that. Might take on N1 exam next year too.

I’ll use my standart format which I write a sentence or two in Japanese about the progress on the novel I read that day so that might help you get some reading even when you’re scrolling here.

Planned Books:
:bookmark: :fork_and_knife:いのちの食べ方 3/ How to Eat Life
(and possibly more I plan on buying the new books on series I’m reading too)

Finished the book! I barely remembered anything from the previous chapters since I started the book 2 years ago, but the last chapter turned out to be quite philosophical, which was difficult but also interesting. I probably missed some connections to people from previous chapters, but that’s okay.

Malinkal - Home post

Half of this week’s 六人の噓つきな大学生 - ch.3 done. Looking forward to ch.4.

Also did another day of ひぐらし. Good.

Finished this week’s reread of 木曜日にはココアを. Not a drastically different experience from last time so far, but definitely there’s some things I just skipped over last time which I can focus in on this time. Going for complete comprehension basically given I know the book quite well.

I also finally (after almost a month now) got back to 風立ちぬ. Sentences are still as head-wranging as ever, which isn’t an experience I commonly have with other books. The content is getting sadder and sadder too. I’ll try finish it in the next few days so I can tick it off the list, but I’m sure I’ll come back to this book.

Overall I did quite a lot today, 気がしませんなのに, even without my typical weekend burst of 100 pages from a single book or something. Plus lots of listening and cracked open my textbook. Must have been 6 or 7 hours spent on Japanese today.

This week apparently did not want me to read more of コーヒーが冷めないうちに

Wednesday morning I managed to hurt myself training and really pissed off my sciatic nerve, that slowed me down generally and in my moping I did not do any of the more effortful work on Japanese.

Then on Saturday I was feeling more confident that the nerve situation was on the mend so I went to train again and absolutely wrecked my ankle. Today it’s swollen to about twice its normal size.

Still, I read something every day! :smiling_face_with_tear: We take the wins where we can some weeks.
