Reading Japan: TBR List
This is a list of the books either by Japanese authors or about Japan that are currently residing in my TBR piles. I'll add to the list as I acquire more, and remove them as I read them. A link to this list is available in the sidebar as part of my Reading Japan Project. Books that I've read since starting this blog, are in my Reading Japan: Book List, also available by clicking on the Reading Japan tab. Clicking on the title will take you to Amazon.
