I read one of the Jasmine Toguchi books and adored it. I need to check others out from the library or request them if they don’t have copies. I’m still taking my daily Japanese lesson and need to add more time to study katakana. I’m glad you had a great reading month and wish you a happy 2023!

Awesome!
Yes, katakana happens to be more difficutl than katakan for many students looks like.
I’m having a total blast with kanji, using especially https://www.wanikani.com/.
Happy New Year to you too!

I had to hop over and read your review of THE LAST HUMAN – I was totally entranced by the cover as well, and now it seems that the book is just as good as that cover. It’s been added to my TBR. I hope the movie stays true to the book and is just as good!
