Re: Happy New Year! What are your reading plans for January? DomA Send a noteboard - 10/01/2012 01:02:21 AM
For now I still have quite a few novels from Japanese writers on the to-read pile, for this month I've finished a novel from a writer I knew from reading a previous work of his a few years ago (Yoshida Suichi), and I'm nearing the end of a novel from a writer I knew by reputation but had never read before (Kirino Natsuo).

Both are great. I might try to write reviews, but again it's works not yet released in English (the Yoshida is coming shortly, though)

I might take a break after that to read Veritas by Monaldi & Sorti (which after a very long and unexplained delay, was finally released in French).

I'm also waiting eagerly for the third part of IQ84, but the release date is still just a vague "winter 2012".
