Hello, everyone! Can you believe it’s already been a week into February? Lately, I’ve been so busy that I hardly have time to relax (*´-`). I usually gather a lot of information from the internet, social media, and sometimes TV, but there are moments when I feel overwhelmed and need to shut everything down for a while.

At times like these, I turn to reading📚! In fact, reading is one of my hobbies.

Both of my parents are avid readers, so I grew up in a home filled with books. As a child, I loved reading, but in my twenties, I was so focused on work and social life that I barely read at all. Looking back, I regret that. But after turning 30, I rediscovered the importance and joy of reading.

📕 My Current Recommendation: “Bassui no Tsuzuri”

This is not a book but more like a booklet. Published by Kumahira Co., Ltd., it is a collection of memorable articles and excerpts from books, magazines, and newspapers. It’s been part of their social contribution efforts since 1931 and is available for free!

I’ve been reading it for the past four years, and I must say—every single page is inspiring. Whenever it arrives at my home, I can’t help but read it all in one go. You can register on Kumahira’s website to receive a free copy every year!

If you have any book recommendations, please share them with me! 📚✨
