2020 IS GONE. While it definitely had it's good moments (the main one being the cross country move!), for the most part it was pretty terrible. My focus and productivity were down, I took in very little new media, and I discovered the complete time sink that is Reddit.

SO. While I suspect very little while change globally in 2021 (still in a pandemic, US politics are a hot mess, climate change isn't going anywhere) I'm resolving to at least personally be a bit better about, well. Everything.

I've signed up for GoodRead's 2021 Reading Challenge for 100 books...while also admitting that I'm not really a reader, so my books will be manga. ;;; I know who I am.

I've slowly and cautiously learning Korean! Not for Army purposes (I don't listen to k-pop) but for manhwa purposes haha. "But Nan!" you may want to ask, "Why not just focus on Japanese?" Well, because Korean has 24 basic letters while Japanese has three alphabets. So you see where I'm going here? lmao. Plus I've been reading a ton of manhwa lately. The art styles are generally more detailed than in manga, and also I kinda really dig the full color thing. Anyways, it's been going okay so far but I'm still extremely early. We'll see. :3

Let's see. :\a I think that is all for now! I'm going to strive hard to be more active here! I bought a 2021 planner, maybe I'll actually write in DW appointments or something, haha.

We made it, guys. We made it to 2021. I hope that things go well for you all! ♥

Korean is vastly easier to learn so good luck with that. Plus it's a beautiful language and once you can read/understand it, your world will open up to so much more. Manhwa is a good reason for it.

Also manga are totally books. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise and put you down for your choice with your challenge.
