2021 Reading Challenge January Week 2
Which feminist books do you recommend?
I don't know if I read anything that could be called strictly feminist. I think the most recent book I read that was seriously feminist would be Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay. I enjoyed it because it was unapologetic, and it also made me think about myself as a woman and as a role model to other women and girls. Now as a boy mom, I am thinking of how I can teach him to relate to women. It is a good book, but it also has some trigger warnings.
ちゃんとしたフェミニズムの本をあんまり読みませんが、最近ロクサーヌ・ゲイ作者の 「バッド・フェミニスト」 という本を読んでた。汚れている現実をエッセイで出しているゲイ作者は女性として考え深い実生活の話を書いていた。女性に対して色々考えさせていた。この世界の中の女性一人の自分はどうやって他の女性のために良いロールモデルになればいいとか、どうやって自分の息子に女性に対しての関係を教えればいいとか、この本を読んだ後こういうことを考えていた。おすすめの本ですが、結構女の人に対して読むのは感情的に難しい話もあります。
Do you have a favorite book series?
My favorite book series changes constantly. It depends on the mood I am in and what I have most recently read. Currently, I would recommend the Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden (Russian fairy tale come to life) and The Folk of the Air trilogy by Holly Black (dark YA fairy world). I'm currently still super excited about the Horimiya manga and have recommended it to everyone (daily school life and teen romance angst, written by a guy, a little all over the place because it was a web comic first). It's an anime too but the manga is better.
好きな本のシリーズは自分の気持ちや最近読んだ本による変わりますよ。しかし、今好きなシリーズはこの前に書いてた日本語のバージョンがないの 「Winternight Trilogy」 でした。そのシリーズはロシアの昔話の3冊のシリーズです。他のも英語のバージョンしかないの 「The Folk of the Air」 の3冊のシリーズです。この話は人間とようせいについての少し暗い話です。最近好きなのはファンタジー世界の少しだけあり得る話かもしれない。後、最近のマイブームは 「ホリミヤ」 の漫画ですよ。高校の日常生活だけど少し変わってる少女漫画っぽくて好きですね。もっともっとウェブコミックだから少し話がバラバラだけど好きですよ。アニメより漫画の方が面白かったと思う。

2021 Reading Challenge January Week 1
What is the first book that you are reading in 2021?
The first book I read is The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. I loved this book! It's in the style of a Russian fairy tale come to life in old Russia. It drew me in and kept me intensely involved throughout the whole book. I highly recommend it!
「The Bear and the Nightingale」 という小説は日本語のバージョンがないんですが、英語で読めるならおすすめします！昔のロシアにある本当にあった昔話みたいの小説である。ファンタジーだと分かってても、なんか本当にあったかなだと思った。とっても素敵な話だった。
Do you have a reading goal this year? How many books do you plan to read?
Ostensibly my reading goal is 50 books, but I am also doing the PopSugar reading challenge because I find it to be a good way to discover books I wouldn't normally read. I read a lot normally, so I will just read as many books as I get to!
昔から本が大好きな自分が別に本を何冊も読んでもいいですが、今年は年間で50冊くらい読むつもりです。PopSugarというオンライン読書挑戦もやろうと思います。今年は色々な本を読むのを楽しみにしています！

2021 Reading Challenge January Week 3
Which book(s) have you re-read the most?
Pride and Prejudice and Emma by Jane Austen. I like knowing how things are going to go, how they are going to end, and I still end up discovering something I hadn't noticed before each time I read them. They are good books for when I just want to read. I also re-read the manga Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare by Io Sakisaka (once so far) which is a shojo manga about angsty high school love (yes, I have a type). The final book I re-read the most is Hara-peko Aomushi (The Very Hungry Caterpillar Japanese version) by Eric Carle because my son is obsessed with the holes cut into the food the caterpillar eats.
ジェイン・オースティン作者の 「高慢と偏見」 と 「エマ」 の本を何回も読み返したことがある。話しの流れが良くて、内容もすっかり分かってると思っても毎回新しいことが出てくる。一回読み返した漫画は咲坂伊緒の 「思い、思われ、振り、振られ」。やっぱり少女漫画を読むのが大好きだよ。最近の何回も読み返したは息子が大好きな 「はらぺこあおむし」 だよ。ちっぽけなあおむしが食べてる物にある穴が気に入ってるみたい。
Would you call yourself a bookworm?
Yes, I read constantly. I prefer physical books to e-books, but due to the pandemic I have mostly been reading e-books. I'm still not able to go to the library to check books out and so I borrow e-books from the comfort of my home.
私は昔から読書家なんですね。最近、電子書籍ばかり読んでるけど、やっぱりリアルな本が最高だよ。図書館から借りるのはまだちょっと怖いので、電子書籍を借りている。
