Are you reading any books lately? If so, what're you reading?
I've been reading Ascendance of a Bookworm by Miya Kazuki. I'm on Part 3 right now!

I'm currently reading 'Before I knew I loved you' by Toshikazu Kawaguchi - the sixth book of the 'Before the coffee gets cold'
series 
I'm a big fan of Japanese and Korean novels.

Oh, I actually got rec'd that series, it's on my to-read list!
How are you liking it?

It's a favourite of mine, they aren't chronological (the series works with time travel) and I think you can read them in any order
if you like. It's a cozy, light series - great for if you want something more easy to read. If you're used to something more heavy or
intense, it might feel too boring. I'm also reading Coin Locker Babies by Ryū Murakami which is pretty intense.

I'm open to just about anything-- light and breezy, dark and heavy, I like anything! ^^
Have you ever read Sayaka Murata's Convenience Store Woman? It's a short read, very weird, but I loved it.

I have! I think I've read all of her novels, apart from her most recent that was translated into English She's a favourite of mine.

I've been livin' at the library ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა and checking out various books.
I've been reading Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, which is a fairly old (and popular) manga.
I kept hearing people rave about it back in the day, so I decided to give it a read. It's been cute! Copied!
