The beginning of a new reading year means thinking about which challenges you are going to be participating in.
I am very much committed to making the challenges fit my reading as opposed to specifically reading for a challenge. Of course, the first challenge I am going to mention is one where I will go exactly opposite but never mind!
The first I am going to mention is Japanese Literature Challenge 18, hosted by Dolce Bellezza. I have several books in mind to read during January and February for this challenge! I am also intending to post a few other things during January about all things Japanese which will be for my own January in Japan, but we will see how we go!
The next challenges are all year long challenges.
