Below is my 2019 reading goals bingo card. I created the categories based on gaps in representation I noticed from my 2018 reading list and with an eye to my ongoing commitment to reading Nikkei literature. Although my card is far from fully representative, I hope it will push me to continue expanding my understanding of peoples and cultures different from my own.
To my fellow Nikkei readers embarking on 2019 reading challenges of your own, good luck! Let me know if you come across any new Japanese/Nikkei writers, please!
