The Japanese Literature Challenge 15: January through March, 2022

Uemura Shōen, Fragrance of Spring.

This year I plan on participating in the Dolce Bellezza ~for literary and translated literature~ blog's Japanese Literature Challenge which is in its 15th year. It is a reading challenge that occurs over the first quarter of 2022 only, and the idea is pretty straightforward. Read as many books as you like from January through March. (Even if that is ”only” one.) Make sure the work was originally written in Japanese. Choose from classic to contemporary works, whatever appeals to you.

Since it is my first time, I'm going to try for one book a month.

January - Before the Coffee Gets Cold (Before the Coffee Gets Cold, #1) by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (Completed 1/30/22)

February - Tales from the Café (Before the Coffee Gets Cold, #2) by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (Completed 2/7/22) See my review here.

March - Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami (Completed 3/27/22) See my review here.
