Been a while since I last updated~ I’m in between vacations and work has been awful, but I’ve been able to find a little bit of time in between to read a bit.
Finished
- 妖魔と下僕の契約条件 1 | L29 - Took me about a month to finish; I’ve been hoping to cut that time down in general for novels, so I was kind of disappointed it took me so long. I realized I wasn’t reading every day, though, so I double-checked my data entries, and it only took me about 10 days of actual reading to get through, which I’m quite happy about.
It’s a short book, granted, and one I’d already read in English before, but it’s a better perspective of time than taking the non-reading days into account as well. If I can remember and can set it up, it’d be neat to do an experiment at the end of the year with an approximately same level of book and same number of pages and compare my elapsed reading time then. - I’d really like to start another light novel, but as I’ll be traveling in about a week and a half, I don’t think I’d have time to finish it, and I don’t want an unfinished book hanging over me when I get back; I’d rather have that feeling of starting a shiny new book.
- デビルサマナー葛葉ライドウ対コドクノマレビト 1 | L32 (whoops, somehow forgot about this one) - Reading in celebration of the game remaster. 1/6 volumes done.
So for right now I’m mostly focused on book clubs:
Currently Reading
Book Clubs
- たったひとりのサバイバル・ゲーム! 太平洋を泳ぎぬけ! | L21 - Slow and steady.
An easy, relaxing read; I really like the choose-your-own-adventure format. - こいものがたり 1 | L20 - Still early on in this one.
Non-book club/informal group reading
- トーマの心臓 | L24?? - Reading in The History of BL Manga: 1970s Origins 🎓 BL University with @暁のルナ and @pm215; I started this last night, so I’m not super far in, but I’m hoping to get some good progress done today/tomorrow.
- 本好きの下剋上~司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません~第一部「兵士の娘3」 | L32 - Reading with @shitsurei. This is my daily listening slot, so I’m reading and listening at the same time. Volume 3 is okay so far; more of the same of volumes one and two. I’m really looking forward to seeing a new arc/direction for マイン.
- FLESH & BLOOD外伝2 ー祝福されたる花ー | L33 - As I finished Flesh&Blood 18 some time ago, I’m now working on the short stories for the series published in between volumes 18 and 19, and the first short story in this volume fits that criteria; this short story is the only one I can record officially on Natively. Started last night, and it’s as good as expected! Might be able to finish tonight or tomorrow and move onto the next short.
