Reading notes for the first chapter of 内部の真実, especially military vocabulary and a list of characters.

New book haul! I ordered 6 books by Seicho Matsumoto and 3 books by Shizuko Natsuki!

I am currently taking a break in my project to read the winners of the Mystery Writers of Japan Award in order to explore the repertoire of the authors I have discovered so far through this project. To make things easier for me, I am listing here the winners of the prize that I loved..

Some of the authors and series that I have discovered recently.

In this post, I’m talking about my Korean reading challenge and go through several collections of short stories I bought for this challenge.

I’ve been using Mastodon for 10 days, and I like it more than Twitter. If you’re there also, please come and say hi!

I am only reading one Japanese book at the moment, but I am waiting for two books to arrive (I ordered them last week!).

I finished two books, one Korean and one Japanese (loved them both!). I also started a Korean zombie novel and a Japanese crime mystery,

I am very happy with the Korean book I am reading for the #22tlreadingchallenge: an engrossing detective story that is very easy to read. However, I am struggling with my Japanese book, the 1973 winner of the MWJ award: complex story with a lot of difficult words…

I read two winners of the MWJ award and I am halfway through the third one!
