2022 #Novel note Summary: 100 Works

I read a lot again this year.

+

As is the year-end tradition, note has released its 30 selections that colored this year!

To my surprise, this year!!! They added novel and manga categories that weren't there last year!!! (Hehe, I'm so happy to have been chosen.) People say novels aren't read much on note (and there are plenty of dedicated platforms for that, after all), but it's still a city of creation! I'm incredibly happy. Last year there was no novel category, so I did a year-end dash to summarize 100 works, but I did it again this year~~~!!!

The 30 selections are limited, and there are stories that stay in your own heart. This is my annual (though it's only the second year) summary of 100 novels! Here it is, right at the end of the year!

Thank you so much for all your recommendations! It's amazing how much everyone reads. (Ayu Suzuki and others dug so deep, it was incredible...!) I'm also very happy to have received so many self-recommendations! Thank you, thank you~~~!!!

So, here we go!

🐐

1. The story of a man who entered the entrance and screamed

In an obviously dangerous situation, I find myself laughing at the sudden emotional braking that occurs... It's addictive! I love it.

2. The story of being called out to on a night road and feeling the blood drain from my face when I turned around

You shouldn't judge people by their appearance, but what do you do if they don't look human in reality...? I can't handle the frozen time, it's funny. I love it.

3. The story of a scary experience after helping a mother whose baby started crying on the train

I laugh so hard I can't take it anymore, but it's a proper salvation. No, this is amazing, isn't it? The courage. But you'd laugh, right? I love it.

4. The story of the end of a child who got lost while I looked away

Following Poison, it's Amuro forever. There must be something there. It's the kind of life path where you can't avoid the vibration even though you start from kindness... I love it.

5. The story of having my hand grabbed by a suspicious person

I think this is probably how monsters are born.

6. The monologues of Shige-san, the kindly old man, are light, deep, and sad

Shige-san's gentle way of looking at things and the words carefully woven to suit the other person are, after all, heroic. Perhaps they are even harder to come by than skills or strength. It's warm and fuzzy, and it's nice. I love it.

7. The story of a dangerous encounter with a man who suddenly started yelling on the train

The passengers caught up in it and the broad beans. No, it's normally dangerous, isn't it?? It's humor, or rather, a hard way to get through it, isn't it??? It makes me laugh. I love it.

8. Because it's a waste

???? And then, I'm drawn in by the unsettling atmosphere of suspense. As I read on...!!!! This kind of ending with limited information is so satisfying and interesting. I love it.

9. The story of a frustrating situation while sitting on the Shinkansen

If only there was one more word, oh no, I'm surrounded, what should I do, old man... Why is it so funny when kindness and consideration miss each other? It makes you laugh, doesn't it? I love it.

10. The story of being mugged

People who lived in that era of making phone calls with 10 yen. The Papico that has always been there. It makes you laugh, doesn't it? A mysterious mugging...! (I'm a bit overwhelmed by Yaako-san and my vocabulary is dying...) I love it.

11. The story of a scary experience on the last train

No, it's scary...!! It's scary, but it makes me laugh. You can't escape on a train, can you? A kind of tension I haven't encountered in the last few years. Laughter is tension and relaxation. Take care... I love it.

12. Short-short story collection 'The Self That Is No One Is There'

A slightly mature collection of short-short love stories. When you find a version of yourself that could have existed, you can't help but feel restless, right? I liked the short-short story about Kichijoji and the annoying boss! It's a nice, humid kind of frustration. I love it.

13. Novel 'Cicadas That Do Not Have Night'

To get out of the cage of words inside yourself, perhaps you need to go outside, and perhaps it's just trivial words. A novel that stays in your heart for a long time. I love it.

14. [Full Version] A New Sensation! Unsolved Mystery Novel: Journey of the Rondo

The title makes you go 'Huh?', but that's structurally interesting in itself, and the writing is easy to read, so you get into it smoothly. Let's read Chap 1 first! Mysteries are great! I love it.

15. [Short Story] A Mysterious Girl, Mysterious but Pure

A mystery that draws you in from the beginning and a gentle solution. It's warm and fuzzy... The result and the words have different things put into them, so 'thank you' is important, isn't it? I love it.

16. The story of trying to be a love cupid

Half of love is strange, and I wonder why we end up missing each other. Tell me, Indian person. Laughter is inevitable; I end up laughing after all. I love it.

17. Oubaitouri (Each in its own way), I will walk again starting today

Creative work connects to creative work, words are spun. The illustrations are eye-catching, and the soft touch combined with the intensity of the eyes is impressive. The poetic text also has power, it's great. The texture of spring. I love it.

18. Full swing at the bus stop. Table of Contents

Even though it's a super-development, it has a mysterious persuasiveness that makes me get really absorbed in reading it! The power is amazing...!! It's as interesting as the title suggests. I love it.

19. Short-short story "We who create creation"

Hehe, this is one I wrote and it was recommended! Being consumed and the work of creating creation. Thank you so much for reading it! So happy!

20. Cafe SARI . 1

If you have a place where you can be yourself, you can survive. Inside that door where drama seems likely to be born, it's dignified and has a comfortable temperature, which is great. A hideaway I'd like to visit if it existed, I love it. (And they are actually doing it for real...!!!)

21. Water of Life

Reading along smoothly, then a sense of discomfort drifts in... and then, so scary...!!! Writing with dim lighting, deep flavor... It's scary, but it's the kind I like...!!

22. Highlight

A short story by Yagi-san, who I joined for #MidnightInter. I really love Yagi-san's novels that go around in a circle and return to zero, and Highlight is highly recommended. Even though it's matter-of-fact, before you know it, you're going back and forth between the heart and the space, and time and distance also shift. Then, before you know it, it takes on emotion. A comfortable, captivating read. I love it.

23. Parapolinka

Even though the worldview is quite out there, there's a strange knack to it that makes you feel the present and lets you slip right in. The sense of word choice is good... It's the kind where I'm curious about what happens next! I love it.

24. The Gentle Nipping of the Gods

A short story captured by a comfortable sense of language. It goes around and around, and it has a gravitational pull that makes me read it twice. Interesting... I love it.

25. Momoko-senpai (Novel)

Momoko-senpai, who is like the top-tier individual of the mysterious protagonist-type who drags everyone around them into things, and her companions who make chaotic retorts. Cynical power coated in humor. Fun, and a little heart-pounding. I love it.

26. [Novel] Distance to Summer

It's hopelessly summer, I'm a college student, and I'm anxious about a future I haven't chosen yet. The distance to the exit is slowly closing in. A feeling that I'll look back on someday and eventually forget. I want to keep it locked away. I love it.

27. The Moon Is Always

The jump from a mysterious world to a smartphone-sized search is irresistible. Just like finding something life-like in a glass, there is drama in what you see and what you can see in those eyes. It's interesting and hits home. I love it.

28. [Novel] The Person Who Hides Their Face

Ponoko-san, who I joined for #MidnightInter! The sense of distance between the narrator and the world is exquisite, and I really love the food descriptions... The context of masks and food hits hard when you read it now, and the structure is amazing with its universal themes of hiding, seeing, and stepping forward. It's Ghibli-esque food, Ponoko-style... It makes you hungry, doesn't it! I love it.

29. The End of a Former Genius Kid Streamer (1)

A bizarre work I encountered in the #CreativeAward2022. I was curious when I first read it, then it gradually started buzzing on social media, and the structure of dropping this story onto note is scary to begin with. It's scary, but I can't stop reading. And I was pleasantly surprised in the best way by the ending and the twist after the grand prize announcement! I love it.

30. [Episode 1] Tonight, I'll Take Care of Myself.

Even though I should be the closest to myself, I tend to forget. The rules for self-care are really great. I'm curious about all the characters that appear so naturally, and it's fun to think about how the story will expand. I love it.

31. "Old Clock Cafe" 5th Cup "Tadasu's Scales" <Full Text>

Lost items that pass each other by through kindness. A place where mysterious and warm people meet. The sunlight and sounds are pleasant, and I read through it smoothly. It's interesting. I love it.

32. Novel: Autumn Leaves (Koyo) [3097 characters]

A 3,000-character roller coaster that makes you wonder, after coming full circle, what this feeling is. Appearance, what is seen, and what is unseen. While reading, I find myself projecting things onto it. It was really interesting. I love it.

33. 8 Interviewers and a 432-yen Steak

I love the opening paragraph so much, don't you?? There are these pillars of life that only you understand. The interview that proceeds one after another and its landing are beautiful, and it's so warm and I love it too much. I love it.

34. [Novel] Memories of a Receipt

A convenience store where student part-timers come and go. That moment is certainly special, but before you know it, it's passed, and you only remember it when you look back. It happens, doesn't it... A soft memory. Really, what is that? A gentle and poignant story. I love it.

35. Beautiful Sculpture / Youth Novel

Being the same as everyone else, or being different from others—you don't know until you get involved with someone. You can't just swallow it. Haa~~~ so sweeeet!!! Youth. Blue. If you read it, it's summer. I love it. It's the kind of story that makes you imagine what happens next.

36. Night Breeze Cafe #1

The opening sentence is so good; it's a place for my own creation. A dialogue. The arrangement of words. I'm a fan. Even if it's a cardboard boat, I'll row it out. I love it.

37. Short-short story: "24-Hour Optician"

A mysterious part-time job at a mysterious shop. You can't notice what's taken for granted unless you look from the outside. It's a world that seems to have so much drama, and it's intriguingly interesting. I love it.

38. Spring is Half-Crying.

The way people armor themselves is different for everyone. Even if you look from the outside, or through words, there are things you can't understand. The kindness you can only give because you are a stranger. I want to keep that in mind. I love it.

39. [Novel] locate

The strength of a life written straightforwardly. The words and the sense of language are absolutely the best, and I love it. It's so comfortable to read... from that gentle feeling, it suddenly pierces right through me...?! Sigh... Both Tabe-san and Mano-san, and Tanabe-san and Mano-san are just too good. I love it.

40. Snow in Shinjuku

One day, at some point, a cut suddenly pops into my head. I've never seen it, it's not in my memory. When I think about it carefully, it's that one sentence I read sometime. There are novels that stay in your heart like that. The Chinese food that looks delicious, the blue tarp, and the snow. I love it too much. Please read it.

41. <Short Story> The Day I Learned the Taste of Coffee

You might instinctively brace yourself against defenseless kindness, but if you find yourself dropped into a land that doesn't know you in the middle of a journey... The inconveniences of travel are drama, aren't they? It's a novel, but it has such vivid realism that it feels like an essay. I love it.

42. Short Story: "The Regular Customer's Pickles"

Because it's a one-way kindness, I understand both sides... (laughs)
I get sentimental so easily. I love it.

43. Ashinaga-san is Waiting #PulpAdventCalendar2022

Witty conversation and a world that feels "plausible." The tumultuous battle and the sadness, ah, it soaks into the winter. Please, devour that Kentucky fried chicken~~~. I love it.

44. [Youth Novel] First Love, Glasses, and Suzuki in the Next Seat

Just looking straight at someone—it's so simple, but when did I forget how to do that? The warmth of a hand that remains gently. Aaaah! I get all squirmy from this youth rebroadcast that makes me want to scream. I love it.

45. Green and Red Rain #PulpAdventCalendar2022

The grounded world-building, the items, and the catchy lines are all totally cool. The sense of speed is addictive. A reading experience that feels like a movie—it's good. Aidan is so cool... I love it.

46. Short-short story: "Heartbreak Beauty Salon"

Hehe, this is one I wrote. It got recommended (for the second time). Thank you so much! I've received a few questions, so since I'm at it, I'll drop a spoiler: Nami's crush actually appears in the story! Please check it out 🐐

47. [Short Story] Miracle White Curry

Good moods are a finite and easily depleted, precious resource. I wish I could always have one... I want to try white curry. Just a little bit, a single spoonful that helps you move forward in life. I quietly love this.

48. 1-Minute Short Story Collection | 1st Anniversary

Komaki-san, the amount you've written and the creative muscle you've built really don't lie. It's truly amazing, and these 7 selections are a must-read. The title is so good, and 'Magic on a Biscuit' is my favorite. I love it so much.

49. Tea That Doesn't Taste Good

A short-short that pays off its title. Despite the gentle atmosphere, mysterious instructions lead to an uneasy air...? For some reason, the bosses seem cute in this heartwarming horror. But, these kinds of mysterious jinxes really exist, don't they??? I love it.

50. Novel | Pinecones in My Pocket

Kids really do pick up pinecones and acorns with a joke-like level of intensity. But they forget about them right away, you know. Seriously. A world seen through a gentle perspective, focusing on one of those grains. I love it.

51. Favorability Rating Boosting Supplement

There are things you can work hard for because they are visualized, and things you'd rather not see. Modern horror. The scariness of not being able to say 'That's impossible!' really hits home... Once you read it, you'll be captivated for a while. It gives me the chills, I love it.

52. [Short Story] Cheese Soufflé Doesn't Suit Her Now That She's an Adult

A one-sided wish that things won't change, or that they haven't changed. From either side. A relationship where you can talk without things changing even if you do grow up must have been incredibly precious. Soufflé~! It's so bittersweet...!! The perfect amount of tartness makes me go 'ahhh'. I love it.

53. When the Cicadas Cry | Short Story

Gradually becoming a family, but memories aren't absolute. A gaping hole. I feel like there will come a time when I suddenly remember the scenery, scenes, or lines from this story. Writing that settles in the heart. It's properly, deeply sad, and I love it.

54. Bento.

From the modern perspective of a bento, everyone feels something different...? Simple, powerful words resonate. The ending is great. I love it.

55. New Year's Novel 'Thinking of You'

It's lovely to be in love with someone, and to wish for someone else's wishes to come true. What should I pray for at the shrine visit this year? A short story that is straightforward and gentle, but a little bitter for the adult me. I love it.

56. Meteor Funeral [Short Story]

The world of the Meteor Funeral cannot be dismissed as absurd. The ones left behind will continue on. It strikes me deeply at the root, and I imagine stars spreading across the night sky. I'm sure I'll recall scenes from this novel many times in the future. I love it too much.

57. Novel | Under the Full Bloom of Sakura and Mori (or, something a little colder)

Though told in a detached manner, a chill suddenly passes through. There isn't enough madness. It's troublesome that the human heart is so stubbornly durable. It's a bother. A short story that is scary, yet clings to my memory. I like it.

58. Sukekiyo and I [2000-character horror]

I tried to imagine it seriously and normally, but it really is scary, isn't it...???? It tries to make you feel warm and fuzzy, but it's scary, you know??? But I can't help but laugh! I like it.

59. [Pirika Library] "Sunset" (2004 characters)

I read the first line three times. You'd read it, right?? It's full of power, and somehow strange and kind. A short story where you get swept up in it—it's really great! I like it.

60. When Virtual Love Turns into Real Love

Real and virtual. Both are true. The illustrations are also the best, and I was able to read through it and get immersed, and haa~~~!!! Please implement this!! And thank you for the title payoff!!!! I love it too much. I like it.

61. [Short Story] A Sweet Song in the Middle of the Night

The witty conversation with the husband is cute and really great, and cooking is the most accessible form of meditation. You get centered during the process of making it, don't you~~~! A piece I want to read in the middle of the night. I like it🍩

62. Red Whale [Revised]

I really love the first sentence; it's packed with suspense. It's really good, isn't it??? I wonder if this is how one looks at an unfillable hole and emotions. Or listens to them. An air of having no exit closes in. It's good. I like it.

63. A Humble Life

The introduction is too intriguing; what kind of expansion will come from the title...!? It has a hint of hard-boiled and also sci-fi. The protagonist's ephemeral perspective is also a nice atmosphere, it's my favorite...!! It's great that you compiled it in the Discontinuous Novel Magazine! I like it.

64. [Novel] Mermaid's Egg

A mystery that just pops up, a story that wraps it in kindness. It reminds me of when I was little and went to the beach, picking up everything and making them my treasures. It's warmly good. I like it.

65. Cloudy Sky

The first sentence could be called asking for the impossible, or it could be said that it truly doesn't exist. That "something" that you can't find no matter how much you look, the complex about a powerful original experience—I understand that too. A story where, even though you are the protagonist, you feel like there is nothing there. A scorching short story, the monotone atmosphere also closes in. I like it.

66. [Short Story] The 'Wise Adults' Running Wild

It's a generation thing, so I can imagine the 'duel standby' perfectly, but that cynical yet straightforward childlike heart really hits home. I wonder where true wisdom actually lies. I'd probably be scared of a flying pizza...! I love it.

67. Rolling Stones | Short Story

You could just call it 'finding a compromise,' but everyone has their own drama in their own life. Rolling, rolling, and where you end up is still you. I love the conversation between the locals, but the husband really touched me too. I love it so much. Highly recommended.

68. [Novel] Hiyodori Store Sakuragaoka Branch, Produce Department

A child's likes and dislikes are on a different dimension from adult standards, whether it's taste or texture, so it really takes time, and sometimes it just doesn't work. It's a common wall in parenting where your heart can't keep up even if your head understands, but sometimes it's just a trivial word that makes that wall disappear. A story woven with kindness. I love it.

69. [Novel] Until the Soup is Served: Seigo Chapter

The strength of life we've been forced to face over the last few years, the situations we've had to maintain. If I read it now, it's deep, but since it's always important at the root, the taste changes when I re-read it. Do what you can, talk, and stay close. A story that resonates to the core, like eating something warm when things are tough. I love it.

70. The Smell of the Sun

The gradation from being just 'children' to each boy and girl finding their own boundaries. It's endearing, and I remember it well. The futon on the balcony is warm, isn't it? The ending with the lingering warmth is really good. I love it.

71. I Hate My Younger Brother [#CreativeAward2022 Entry]

The age gap when you're small is decisive, and you end up expecting a lot from your older brother because you think it's easy to communicate with him. But really, you want to be sincere to both. Words written straight in hiragana. It hits home. I love it. (Since the work you recommended was a 2021 post, I changed it to a 2022 work...!!)

72. Winter Gift (Short Story)

Christmas specials are full of wonders if you look at them a little differently. The adult side, this side of the night. It's somehow warmly lonely. It's nice. I love it.

73. Miscellaneous Writing (54) 'Eye Floaters'

Words are mysterious; they have no physical form, yet they have weight and density. I understand that feeling of the Mincho font being cold and sharp. Wrapped in humor, it's a little startling. I love it.

74. [Novel] The Opening #CreativeAward2022 Entry

Fluctuation. So many people, big or small, making decisions without knowing the right answer, somehow extending their lives to this point, delivering, not delivering. Until the moment the curtain finally rises. Thank you for continuing to move your hands. I love it.

75. I wish life would just pass by like panels in a manga. #CreativeAward2022

When I was little, I imagined ninjas jumping over the utility poles passing by on trains or cars. They kept flowing by, and even if they were interrupted, they would conveniently reappear or make big jumps, and I could watch them for hours. A world enclosed in frames, imagining someone's existence. It's chillingly horrific. It's scary. And it's interesting. I love it.

76. Anamorphosis

There is a deep valley between understanding and words. But I try to bring it out somehow, putting it into words or leaving it behind. There are stories born from speaking them aloud. I don't know if it's true or a lie, but the tremor I feel when I receive it is a fact. I'm happy to be able to read Nanaya-san's world after such a long time. I love it.

77. The Station of That Day

A world in the cracks that I might wander into someday. Places and spaces are mysterious worlds once you trap them for a moment. It's somehow nostalgic, a little scary, and gently warm. I love it.

78. Novel: Surprise Present [3234 characters]

Surprises are no good... Just like the title, it takes a sudden turn. It's powerful and mind-blowing! Whoa! I love it.

79. Betelgeuse

Scenes of love, even if they've passed their expiration date, they suddenly revive, which is troublesome. I think it's quite a bug in life that memories with no way out, memories you can't do anything about, are the ones that remain. A short story with an adult scent. The smell of winter. I love it.

80. Lucky to be me

A shop like a charm, wine for when you're sad. Becoming an adult is about swallowing things well, so I like this kind of thing. You can't just hit an enemy, get defeated, and say 'another life!', but a drink that lets you start walking again (maybe) is nice. A wonderful Christmas. I love it. (SARI collaboration...!!!)

81. Haratsuzumi [Short Story]

There are many things you can't swallow, and sometimes you know you need to take time, but you just can't. But the events that move life forward are often trivial things that happen suddenly, aren't they? I think I'll remember this many times. A warm Haratsuzumi, the kind that makes you smile. I love it.

82. [Letter/ Do you remember?] Graduation Ceremony Series

Teacher, this is a power-type horror story sugar-coated with emotion!! The momentum is the best... And the mysterious 'jeen', is it a good story...? Yeah!! I love it.

83. I Can Hear City Pop

City pop. The Tokyo I imagined is always out of reach. I also left my hometown, so I think about that indescribable feeling of not fitting in in a place I've come to know. A fleeting intersection of life, bittersweet. It's summer. I love it.

84. [Fairy Tale] The Librarian and the Destination of First Love

A gentle fairy tale connected by snow. Reality is scattered throughout, which makes the one mystery even more effective. The way it's told is warm and nice. I love it.

85. Life Post (Part 1)

There are thoughts I want to turn into letters, thoughts I want to write down. Whether they are good things or painful things. The depth packed into a short story. It's warm and nice. I love it so much.

86. [Novel] Memory Taxi [Short-Short]

The way the mystery creeps into everyday life, and how that entrance is set up, is fresh. It's a little chilling, but it makes you want to step in. Wait, is this a series?? I love it so much.

87. Who am I?

The situation where the lid on memory won't come off, and the mystery the narrator carries, is pure suspense. It's quite a situation, but the beef bowl makes me laugh. Haha. Why on earth...? This is one that keeps you hooked!

88. Shuto Expressway Drive | Short Story

Being a 'convenient person' is usually a bad kind of relationship, but there are times when you know that and still find salvation in it. A loop line drive. A mature Christmas. I love it.

89. Tangerines and Taxis

Hehe, this is one I wrote, and it was recommended. When you feel like you're being buried by busyness, eat a cold, round tangerine for some vitamins. Please check it out. 🍊

90. Short-Short Story 'The Nightjar and the Two of Us'

A short story I want to read at the end of the year, a ray of warmth in the cold. Sometimes it's someone's straightforward words that save your past self. It's deeply moving. I love it.

91. Cream Soda [Episode 1]

The way you capture the behind-the-scenes of your life is incredibly good, and it makes me happy when somewhere becomes a familiar place. This is a cream soda I'd love to drink. I love it.

92. Psychic Psycho 1

From the presentation of the mystery to the world-building, I was drawn right in... a suspense story where I'm curious about what happens next. It's also great how the characters are colored by small actions. I'm definitely going to keep reading! I love it.

93. Just hurry up and say you love me.

A guitar isn't just a canned sound; it's an instrument that sings, isn't it? Fall in love, be blind! Getting more and more absorbed in it is nostalgic, nerve-wracking, and heart-pounding. A story that reminds you of someone's 'someday.' I love it.

94. 34 years old, the place she reached after escaping her emotionally abusive husband

A special note version of the collaboration novel between Mr. Oki and Mami Imai. From the point where the root desire of 'wanting to eat' is cut off, the power words that make your vocabulary disappear strike pleasantly. The sudden development is well-grounded, so it's nice to be able to cheer for the protagonist, thinking 'Go, go, you can do it!' I find Yasuda really irritating, which I love. It's quite a situation, but there's light, which is good. I'm curious about what happens next. I love it.

95. Short Story) Self-Portrait in White

When you deal with things individually, it's different, but when you're in a circle, you can't be yourself. You feel like you're going to lose to the mysterious gravitational pressure, but gradually you learn your own color through that comparison. Actually, Mika-chan, who conveys things straight, is also good. A story about that day that makes you feel restless when you read it. I love it.

96. Short-Short 'Grilled Footwear'

Geso (Footwear). It's just the kanji as it is, but after reading it, it strangely takes on color. A sense of having no exit approaches, as if a certain point in life has been fixed in place. It's literature, isn't it? I'm captivated, and I love it. Year-end.

97. The Young Man of Suraelse

For some reason, I always encounter Tadokoro-san in the novel category. But perhaps travel is a novel in itself. Hearing someone's words through someone else. The feelings contained within them are imagined many times over, growing larger. It's warmly wonderful. A story experienced through someone else's eyes. I love it.

98. Short-short "Someone's Job"

Hehe, this is one I wrote, thank you! (Thank you so much for the recommendations. The sense of privilege as the compiler is amazing...!) It's a year-end short-short, so please enjoy it.

99. The Story of Being Harmed by a Suspicious Person Dressed as Santa

Heyyy!! Staff member!! Because Santa is a creature of dreams, the backlash, the divergence, and the comparison with reality are what make people grow up. It makes me laugh. A dangerous story mixed into a heartwarming Christmas tale. I love it.

100. "Truck Girl and the Deadhead Man" Main Story

Sometimes, when you travel too long a distance, your heart can't keep up. But sometimes, you run in search of that very thing. A life you can't shake off. A novel where the passing scenery strikes the heart. A distance to meet again somewhere. I love it.

I hope I can read a lot next year too!
Thank you for writing.
I'm happy to have been able to read them.

Well then, have a happy new year!

The end.
