Next Japanese read: 斜め屋敷の犯罪 by Soji Shimada (島田荘司).
(Tr. Murder in the Crooked House by Louise Heal Kawai).

I just did the pencil outline for the drawing. I drew it leaning too much to one side at first, so I had to erase and do again. This took me too much time already and it’s far from being complete…

If I come to a point where drawing the cover takes me more time than reading the book, I might drop this project :silly:

A Japanese pocket book resting on the right page of a grid notebook. The cover shows a dramatic illustration of a mansion attached to a tower on a rocky cliff. The building is leaning to the left. The left page of the notebook shows a pencil sketch of the same building.

Had some reading done in the metro. I only have a little over 100 pages (out of 700) left in 白鳥とコウモリ (Keigo Higashino), we’re getting really close to the solution now and it’s hard to put down. I’ll probably finish it very soon!

I started 白鳥とコウモリ… I love Keigo Higashino so much!! I should read his books more often!

I just finished the drawings for my journal entry. I decided to do one for each volume, because the book is so great! (At least the first 80 pages I read.)

I did a quick search, and I’m pretty sure that the bridge on the covers is the Kiyosu Bridge (清洲橋), a key location in the novel. It’s cool that it’s not just a random Tokyo pic, but something related to the story.

An opened notebook and two books in Japanese. The notebook displays two drawings that mirror the book covers. One is on the bottom of the left page (a city outline with a bridge in front and a tower in the background), and the other on top of the right page (a suspension bridge).
