Another 'annual report', this time from Bookwyrm. If I'm honest, I feel a little ambivalent about this, as there's a risk that counting the number of books you've read in a year sounds like boasting, but in case anyone is interested in the kinds of things I've been reading...

Saw that book at the capital city earlier. I wanna have that, but, I don't understand why it's so expensive: $60 dollars. Something's wrong...

Today I finished the 2nd book of my favorite series 🥹💖
誰が勇者を殺したか 預言の章
5 star read 🌟
I absolutely loved this book and I had so many emotions while reading it.
The main character of this book is so cool 💖💖💖
I highly recommend this series 🇯🇵✨

Though it seemed interesting and original, it turned out to be moderately boring.
Too many menus and ingredients lists and not enough characters and their stories.
The Kamogawa Food Detectives, Hisashi Kashiwai
6/10
Got incredibly stressed out and did a somewhat irresponsible thing given the amount of books already waiting for me, but I've had my eye on three of these books for awhile now anyway, so I guess it's not all bad. And there's nothing wrong with supporting authors even if it'll be years before you read their work!
That being said, I think I need another bookshelf...
This has been on my wishlist ever since I saw the anime adaptation! 🫣
Listening to the audio helped a lot and made me realize I know more Japanese than I think I know…I just haven’t learned the kanji for the words yet 😅
I did pause a few times when there were strings of vocabulary I just didn’t get lol
On to the next audiobook+novel combo!
Took a step back from reading (read only 1 book) to focus on another hobby and to recharge 🫣 😌Now I’m ready to tackle more Japanese novels. Reading キノの旅 as part of a book club since it’s been recommended to me and I know nothing about the story and characters.
