About me
I am Ariane and I’m the former manager of a Japanese book club at my university. I’ve since graduated and entrusted all club duties to my eager and hardworking kลhai (they are @dokusho_moja on instagram now).
I made this site to share my resources and to give recommendations to learners, who would like to read more, but don’t know where to start. I will continue to post my short and spoilerfree book reviews on here whenever I find the time.
