Hello everyone and happy March! We are already 3 months into 2024. The months are going by quickly and soon we will be back in the summer heat. However, right now, we are entering Sakura Season! Sakura Season is one of my favorite things about living in Japan.

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday that originated in Ireland and eventually started to be celebrated in the U.S. It is a day celebrated with good food, good company, and all while wearing green! If you don't wear green on St. Patrick's Day then you might get pinched! Some cities will dye their main river green, have a parade, and show traditional Irish dancing.

My favorite book series is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Recently, I found that the first book has a Japanese translation so, I bought it. It's very difficult for me but, I will try to read it slowly and use it for studying Japanese. This is an 8 book high fantasy story about an assassin who journeys to save the realm. She goes through many obstacles and will wear many faces but her true self prevails in the end with the help of friends made along the way.

### Movie🎞

**Wonka**

The movie *Wonka* starring Timothée Chalamet is an exciting and fun retelling of how Willy Wonka became famous. In this movie we watch as Wonka tries to sell his chocolate. However, he has a hard time doing so due to his competitors. You will see how Wonka overcomes these hardships and opens his chocolate shop with the help of friends.

**Lastly, thank you for reading and have a great month!** 🌺
