Some reading goals for 2025, nothing really concrete, just some guidelines for the new year 🙂
December wrap-up
I only read one book in December, but I managed to keep a good Anki streak 🙂
Learning Chinese with Genshin Impact
I’ve been learning Chinese with Genshin Impact for three months now, mostly using Anki and the Pleco dictionary.
November recap
Highlights of November were Arcane season 2 and the Genshin concert. Also managed to get some reading done, but not much…
Life and books update
I’ve spent more time cycling, learning Chinese and playing Genshin Impact than reading in the last couple of months.
New reading project: pre-war Japanese authors of detective fiction
My new (long time) reading project is to explore pre-war Japanese detective fiction!
Back to reading with short stories
I made a list of short stories (some of them very short!) as reading goal for June. It helps me to get out of my current reading slump.
May reads: a slow month
I haven’t read much in May, I mostly finished novels that I had started in April and read some short stories.
Genshin is the reason why I started learning Chinese, and recently, I have switched my game to Chinese only. I also created a Mastodon account to record the progress I make.
Reading update: April reading slump
An overview of the (few!) books I read in April.
Currently reading: Chinese, Korean and Japanese novels
April reading update! I am currently reading in my three target languages at the same time.

After a long break, I am back with four mini reviews of Korean books.
