The book I am reading at the moment

Currently Reading: 『ビブリア古書堂の事件手帖』by En MIKAMI

I know that I should not be starting a new book right now, but this is what happened: I started watching the drama 『ビブリア古書堂の事件手帖』and I liked it very much. Then I learnt that the drama was an adaptation of a light novel by author En MIKAMI (三上延). Some days later, I found this very novel in a bookshop, piled up on a table. The...

"The more effort you put into something, the happier it will make you"

Shigesato Itoi

Welcome to my blog!

I am self-learning Japanese and I have created this blog to help me stay motivated, record my progress and give structure to my studies. I hope it can be useful or inspiring for others too!

I love learning languages, I like doing grammar exercises, I love kanji, and I am bound to Anki for life. I would say that reading and learning Japanese are my main hobbies, but I also like drawing and playing Animal Crossing or similar games and I am growing more and more addicted to stationery and fountain pens.

I am interested in Japanese literature, Japanese History and politics (and so many other things related to Japan.)

My main goal is to be able to read Japanese literature in Japanese, as a result, I am more focused on improving my reading than anything else.
