Just bought the whole nine volumes of ひらやすみ at BOOKOFF. I’ve already read the first half of the first volume.
This manga feels like I can actually read from beginning to the end (for once 
).

This feels accurate, yeah. Would also be funny to have a sort of whump like a big book falling onto a pile or something, maybe.
Congrats! I don’t have the confidence yet to try and get through a light novel, so I’m extra impressed.
That’s a much better turn around time than most of my purchases - the peril of my to-read pile already being quite so towering, lol.
Unfortunately I’ve gotten very little reading done since my last check-in (I was right about the busy week and travel not leaving me much time), so the only progress I can offer is having finished the last liiiiitle bit of Vanitas’ volume 4 and another couple pages of 傷物の花嫁, I think.
And now I’ve realized that natively lets you search its book list using genre tags so I’m in danger…
Hope everyone’s making progress, though!

Nooo bad SekiHan! pops your hand
We DON’T buy more books in this thread!
I finished 恐怖コレクター 4 over the weekend. 
I’m 88% through with Kiki’s Delivery Service 2, but it may be a few more days before I’m able to finish it. I usually read at work and work has been very busy lately.
I’ve also been playing a DS game through melonDS on my tablet called 放課後少年. I do physically own it, but it seems more socially acceptable to play something on a tablet at work in your downtime, than to bust out a DS. I don’t know why. I also haven’t been able to play this since last week. I’ve enjoyed it so far though. It’s very BokuNatsu adjacent, which is why I bought it in the first place. (many years ago, might I add)

Anyone else finally grabbed the thing they were meaning to read thanks to the cloudflare outage? 
I finally sat down to enjoy my copy of 夏目友人帳 today~~ it’s such an indescribably cozy title

Quickly slides my bookoff wish-list behind me.
I feel you on the reading at work though - obviously actual job stuff takes priority, but it is always disappointing when it gets too busy for any hope of reading practice 
@rozi oh man I read some of that in English ages ago - I don’t really want to pick it back up right now, but I do remember it having a very unique kind of intimacy to its story. Hope you have fun with it!
Okay, you can’t just drop that and run!!! What’s the context! Is that just a wishlist, is that owned books??? Are we in the presence of a God Of Unread Books?

Digitally, I am quite OK because I realised that I should only buy what I will read and for 1 year and a bit, I drastically tried to NOT buy lol. It was mainly because I did not like how I have soo many manga / light novels unread yet I kept buying more haha. Currently, I think 90% of what I have bought, I have read.
Physically… I think I have read 15% of the manga / light novels that I own … 85% has not been touched. There is a reason though!!! I gave away a lot of my books. I only kept what I have not read or treasure too much.

My reading update this week is woefully inadequate. I haven’t done much of anything, apart from reading half a chapter of flying witch. I need to be better about setting aside reading time… Where and when do you all read?
