Some notes: 
I don’t read nearly as much translated work as I should - this was a nice look into a different culture.

While there was nothing wrong with the narration of the audiobook, I do wish I’d read a physical version of this book. All the characters names are Japanese (duh) and because I’m not used to that, I think I would’ve benefited from seeing the names in print. I sense the physical book had a character list at the beginning, and I think it would’ve helped me to have something like that to flip back to. Yes, I could’ve Googled, but having this already in the book for me would’ve been more convenient.

A good read about how books had an impact on the author’s life.

Hogfather by Terry Pratchett
Did not finish book.

This is a really good read, but I think this is best to be read in December - which I failed at doing. Will return to this in December 2024.
