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

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.

New book, new entry page in my reading journal!

The book in question is 作家不在場的謀殺 by 望日 (HK), a collection of five short stories. I saw that the author is both a writer and a publisher, and I think that the stories will be related to the publishing world.

I’m sure I will love this one!!

I still haven’t figured out how to set up my reading journal, but I thought it would be cool to add something related to the book cover art on each book entry. I like how some people print out small book covers, but I don’t have a printer. So I had the idea to just draw a part of the cover, starting with this one
