Day 1: April 1st
What did I read?: ふしぎ駄菓子屋銭天堂 Vol 2
How much did I read?: 4 pages
How long did it take me?: 32 min
So, I did “graze” a bit on some different things before I started in on this, and something cool that I learned about myself from doing that is that I can…actually read? Without…looking at a dictionary every 5 seconds? Which I feel like I should have known, but it was not really something I expected for some reason xD I was pretty amazed by how much I could get. I was capable of skim reading in Japanese and that’s pretty cool man
Anyway, I landed on a bit of Zenitendou Volume 2 for today. It’s been sitting on my shelf since whenever the book club finished the first volume of Zenitendou (…jeez, was that really almost 3 years ago? ) Was this what I expected to want to read today? No xD Was it something I enjoyed reading, yes! Will I read it again tomorrow, maybe! lol
