Made it through a month of busy life and low motivation, only reading a page or two most days. Looking forward to reading two recent purchases, CITY and ダンジョン飯.

^ It seems I drop personal pronouns in English as well as Japanese. 「私」 and “I” both feel a bit forced at the start of sentences. Neat.

On the anime front, I finally finished season one of フリーレン. Season two hits in January, so I have a few more volumes of the manga to catch up on over the next four months or so.

I found volume 16 of よつばと! the other day. It’s a bit below my level now and I have so much else to read, but I’ll probably pick it up for fun one of these days.

I’ve been so so tired this week. I don’t usually nap after work (even if I do tend to doze off while reading tho), but Friday was really bad. Had a sore throat too. Only sleep was the medicine at that point. No reading done.

・ 有限と微小のパン THE PERFECT OUTSIDER (70% → 71%) // Time: 14m. Total: 18h 48m

Sore throat healed after long hours of sleep. Very good. Tiny read in the morning. After that I started an English book (reread of Illuminae, it has genius storytelling).


:bookmark: Home post // August 17 :milky_way: :tanabata_tree:

Sunday morning: I’m so not into reading mood. When I only have book club book that I’m reading, it feels like a chore. So I really need to find another book to read as well. Same principle as with drawing practice. Can’t just draw for practice by doing drawing lessons, should preferably also draw for fun.

・本好きの下剋上 番外編2(0% → 7%) // Time today: 51m. Total: 51m

Sunday evening: Finally started reading the newly released Honzuki Spinoff book 2. Feels very comfortable. Tho I had to look up three yojijukugo just in the prologue :laughing: 多すぎでしょう。Was reading at a good pace until I sat down again reading while having dinner. And then my eyes hurt, contacts went dry. I wonder how many hours this book is going to take me. It’s 400 pages. 12h? Between 11-15h probably.

Btw, I realize I miss the characters in this universe. I wish the main story continued instead of this spinoff story. Or for the main story to continue somehow. I miss having ローゼマイン as the main character. I want more of where the main story left off TuT

My condition has been weird the last four weeks and especially worse during the last week, but being able to read books and write updates again now, I guess I’m somewhat back to normal again. Just have to make sure I get plenty of sleep and drink tons of water :watermelon: :zzz: :warning:

5 NHK News Articles before bed :slight_smile: No time for reading today unfortunately.

香君 2: 63.34% → 100.00%, 3h43m

Finished another book club! I’m very happy to reach another milestone, but it is just half of the story, so there is something to look forward to.

まちカドまぞく 1: 0/7 weeks → 1/7 weeks 1h7m

(It’ll be easier for me to count this in weeks rather than chapters or pages.)

I started another book club with 4 koma manga. It is actually harder than I expected, but it is good to challenge myself, right?

  • Finished the week’s reading of Bocchi with the offclub. It was an omake not in 4koma format so it was way easier to read and it was very emotionally touching!
  • Finished Delusional Teacher 2, another series for my easy reading pile though it uses just enough weird vocab sometimes it probably can’t fit onto my before-bed read pile.

Good to hear you’re feeling better.
