Target Language Reading Challenge

I'm starting a new reading challenge for myself and I'd like to invite the rest of the tumblr langblr and studyblr community (and I may repost on my studygram) to participate. Honestly, while I made this with the intentions of the langblr community using it to strengthen reading skills in our target languages, I think anyone who loves reading or wants some encouragement reading may enjoy participating.

Make sure to use the tag #onigirireadingchallenge so that I can see and reblog.

If you want a higher quality of the image, it's available here.

A book over 150 page - 透明な夜の香り

This book was 256 pages 🇯🇵✨

4 stars ⭐ - weird but interesting

Also it supposed to be a 3 stars read ⭐ but because there was a character (not the main character) that I absolutely loved, I decided to give it 4 stars (and for that reason too I plan to read book 2 soon!)

Can’t wait to read more of him 💖

A translated childhood (children's) book:

Kometo en Muminvalo, Tove Jansson, translated into Esperanto by Sten Johansson.

(I know 'translated childhood book' is probably supposed to be a book from my childhood, but I don't remember most books I read in childhood and I didn't really have a favourite book (not that I remember anyway), so I decided to view it as 'children's book' instead.)

When i saw this book in the bookstore, I just couldn't leave it!! I needed to buy it and I did ✨

My rating

4 stars / I absolutely love this book! Yes there is something I didn’t like about it hence the -1 but overall it was so so good, very enjoyable & I can’t wait to read book 2 of this series!

A book that it seems everyone in your TL community has read - 52ヘルツのクジラたち

4 star ⭐ absolutely love the writing style of this author

Adding to my language reading challenge list!

This week I finished these two. I also re-watched the series with each story that I read and they’re as wonderful as I remembered. Except Lustucru oh dear god, he shouldn’t be. Toxic man is toxic.

Anyway, technically this also counts as a finished series and book with TV adaptation, but I already had one for those categories in French. Still, I’m happy.

I’m just a tiny bit mad that I couldn’t find a copy of Les contes de la folie méricourt, tho. So, if anyone happens to have one that can share with me, please let me know? It would bring me so much joy.

I hope your reading adventures are also going well this year!

Brief Update on my Reading Challenge

So far, I am about halfway through Vol. 3 of Yotsuba (15 volumes in total). I'm planning on using that to satisfy my "complete a series" task.

I'm still struggling working my way through 夜カフェ (Yoru Cafe) to complete my "a book over 150 pages" task. I say struggling because the book itself isn't extremely difficult for me, but it's moving slowly. I think that because I'm an adult, I feel like a lot of info and resolution is missing from the story because it's focusing on different things. So I find myself wanting to put it down. However, I do acknowledge that it's doing a great job getting in those kanji for children. It delves quite deeply into what her hobbies are and even describes how she's doing these particularly hobbies, so I have learned some specialized vocab lol.

If you're interested in reading either series or wanting to have some company to talk about them with, come join our server! It's linked on my profile (and everywhere else on this blog).
