Drama-Lovers Book Club

I read Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto, Woman with Purple Skirt by Natsuko Imamura and Slow Productivity by Cal Newport in the second half of August. Right now I'm reading My Morning Pages by Carol Miltersteiner, Le grand debarras: ou l'art de faire le vide by Nagisa Tatsumi and re-reading Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata.

Happy reading everyone! ^^

Recently I read [ More days at the Morisaki Bookshop] it was a great fiction novel.

I've read both books about theMorisaki Bookshop this summer and liked them a lot!

Happy to find this thread on MDL! :)
I'm actually a big bookworm. My yearly reading really depends on how well I can balance all my other hobbies though.
Here's an overview of everything I've read so far (from Latest to oldest)

I'm sooo glad Katábasis finally released and I got to read it. I didn't really like Babel, but this return to Dark Academia was waaay better imo. I enjoyed how adventurous it was. Kuang's critique of the academic system is ruthless here.  Definitely one of my top books by the author now!

Welcome to our book club, dear friend :) Your reading list is quite long and impressive!

Thank you<3

I wish I was reading more this year especially since I'm on vacation this month, but watching series & gaming and other stuff all get in the way. Lol I lean more into scifi & fantasy but I try to read out of my comfort zone every once in a while :)

Great selection taking ideas :)

That sounds like such a cozy idea! 📚✨ I love the thought of having a space where drama lovers can also share their book journeys. Sometimes it’s easier to dive into a story on screen, but a little group motivation really helps bring back the habit of reading. I’ll definitely check out the banners and the thread—thanks for sharing.

Do you already have a first “book of the month” in mind, or is everyone free to just pick their own?

I kinda binge-read A Song to Raise a Storm a few months ago. Couldn't let go of it even during work hours 👀 

I also finally finished the 1st book of Jade and Indigo. Quite a ride.  

Both of them belong to the romantasy fraction. But I'm not sure if they have international translations 🤔

For November-

Gutted me.  Couldn't read or watch anything for a few days afterward.
