I think the most I've had on the go at once is 3 and then it was fiction, NF, and short stories. Early next year then, sounds good! I’m more of a one-at-a-time kind of reader.

Would You mind answering a few questions for me because I'm really interested and I love to know like how did You get to the Japan, how did you manage to do that ? Also, when did You do it ? I'm asking You because Id' love to go there when I'll be older. I'm currently in Ireland ( i'm polish ;) I came here because of my parents and availble work ;) I'd love to travel around the world.(when I finish my school;) First I have to go to the Africa and work for concern and then I'm planning to live in Japan, but I have no idea how I'm gonna do that... Was it hard to learn their language ? How you are getting on ? (learning languages is not hard, but japanese is really, really hard, all these symbols, diffrent writing) One of my best friends (Maggie Wong) she is one of my class mates and she is from Maleysia. I also got few german friends and one from Hungary. We got lots of diffrent cultures and people in my school and in whole Ireland. They all came there at the same time because of the good economy of the country and all that stuff. And Maggie knows Mali and Chinese, and when I just look at these symbols !! they are just unreal ( i saw her sribles in her notes ;) Wow, I wrote a lot, even too much, me and my big mouth ;D Thanks ;) Ok, that's what I like to know ;) Hope you don't mind answering them ;) If you 'd like to ask me something I be happy to answer.

I am looking forward to reading a couple of books that I have been meaning to read! Thanks again for hosting the great challenge! Tanabata: I am going through a NF kick lately so hopefully Yakuza Moon will live up to my expectations! Do you read several books at once? I do sometimes but usually only if it is one fiction and one non-fiction at a time...Otherwise I`d get to overwhelmed I think! Early in the new year seems like a good time for a swap!

I'll be curious to hear what you think of it. I've already started Snow Country, my first by Kawabata. I haven't forgotten our book swap, btw. This month seems like it'll be pretty busy.

I've decided to read Kitchen as one of my three, too, because it's had such good recommendations from fellow bloggers. We're going to have fun, I think! I’m so glad you’re joining!
