I will, once I have access to my laptop. I left mine on a friend’s boat yesterday, so it’ll be a few days before I can get it back.

I’ll start it then unless anyone else has already done so. :slight_smile:

I can contribute with a bit from pages 3-5 as I listed words I didn’t know quite intensively while I was on a plane.

If life calms down a bit I could try starting one, but I only have 4 days before my next work trip and a 2 page to-do list :grimacing:

I know it’s a bit early for next week’s thread, but I will be out and about from tonight until Sunday, so I decided to post the new thread a bit earlier.

Also, a big Thank You to @kusuri who started a vocab list! :bowing_woman: I added links to all threads. Please use and/or contribute to the sheet if you like :blush:

I went to add a couple of things but my page numbers seem off - I have the physical hardback copy. Would you like me to add without the page numbers? Also, are you happy if I edit a little? (Eg for page 19, which is my page 17, 背すじをのばす seems to be a phrase).

In that case you can add another page number column (with an appropriate heading) and add your page numbers for when you add words.

So I haven’t quite finished the book, but I just reached this sentence and I feel it kind of sums up the whole book.

私にとってこの夏は過去のなつかしいことのすべてを凝縮したエッセンスだったのだ。
