The Pillow Book by Sei Shōnagon
4.0

I ended up loving this way more than I thought I would initially! I definitely don't have the historical knowledge of ancient Japan to contextualize this that I wish I did, but honestly I still really enjoyed this and picked up on a lot of the information. This was a really fun way to learn about ancient Japan and also Shonagon Sei may just be the funniest person ever. She's like the worst combination of "i'm just a girl" and such a hater I love her. I know I will never be able to convince anyone to read a book with over three hundred chapters, but I promise this was so so worth it!
