I cannot deal with this. I do promise to finish it before the year ends, eh?

I'm taking my sweet, sweet time with this because I really don't want to finish it.

(And I've maybe forgotten about it a couple times...)

I guess we're back to Japan!
My very lovely random number generator decided that I needed another ride in the carousel, so I'm quickly back in my comfort place with Sakamoto Days to start off 2026!

For 2026, I've decided to pick up a book that utterly terrifies me and make it into a yearly read.
So, for the whole of this year, I will be reading one chapter a day of War and Peace. Hopefully I won't regret this.

Not was I expected so far

Got a headache just from reading the introduction. Tony McNamara adapted this?!

I am terrified to read this. It's been brewing in my TBR for two years, it's time to see what pain it's going to give me.

This is so goooooood

Mentally preparing for Ruthless Vows.

What am I doing? I was so sure I would only be reading this in about 2 years, if I was lucky with my TBR.

Now, here we are.

It's someone's fault, and they know who they are.

A page a day keeps a missed streak away!

Betraying my brain into thinking I can read this.

Abuses from the Clergy is, by far, my favourite part.

The Darkling could tell me to jump from a bridge and I would probably not even think twice.

They said it was Cronenberg summer so why not read the book that was the base of one of his most famous and controversial films?

I am not sure what I'm doing.

20-page chapters are killing me, I swear. It's taking me 2m30s per page, this is insane for me.

That "pspsps" was enough to grant this book 5 stars.

I AM SO READY!!!!!!

After a break to finish The Goldfinch, I am getting back on track with these crazy humans

I can safely say this is, by far, the biggest introduction to a book I have ever read.

73 pages of introduction, BLOODY HELL!!

I'm really fighting not to DNF this book...the writing is just awful and the story is just repeating itself over and over.

I'm about halfway through the second year and I'm already not wanting any of this to end.

One novel left. I don't want this to end :(

It's been a struggle, to say the least...but I do want to know what the hell is going on, so I shall push through.
