I donβt know about you guys, but I often feel my Japanese progress is much too slow. I donβt know enough kanji, donβt know enough vocab, donβt know enough grammar, yadda yadda. But when I checked my Goodreads 2020 challenge, I noticed somethingβ¦ The Nyan Nyan 2 book club was my first book club and we finished that in early 2020. Just one year later I am planning to take part in the γ³γ³γγδΊΊι intermediate book club. I am so pleased with the progress Iβve made! I want to thank @Radish8 again for their efforts with this book club. It really turbocharged my Japanese! And to all the people out there for whom Wan Wan 2 will be their first book club, ι εΌ΅γ£γ¦οΌ Youβll be so happy you did it

Hey everyone, first time Wanikani-er and ALSO first-time book clubber! (Okay, okay, maybe second or third time β¦ but I didnβt really show up to those β¦) Excited for this. Iβm brand new to Japanese but I look forward to just following along at my own pace bit by bit. And as an added bonus I get to discover Bookwalker!

Time between books one and two: four months.
Time between book two and September: four months.
Detective Milky books available digitally I can buy and read in the meantime: eight volumes.
Donβt know what everyone else will feel like on when to start the next book, but I think I can manage any length of wait =D

I voted beginning of October, but am flexible if we need to wait longer for new readers to order the book in, as long as we can finish before the end of February, please.

I really donβt care; I can read it whenever 
So I didnβt vote, cause I donβt want to skew the answer!

Did you create that picture? Itβs fantastic!
I keep putting this one off because Iβm busy reading other stuff. But I have a digital copy of the book so need to crack on with it. Iβve selected the November date in the poll as one of the books Iβm reading will be finished by that date, but Iβm happy to start earlier if that suits others better. Thanks for getting us organised @ChristopherFritz!

Maybe we could go fishing in the ABBC to get some more people involved? I think these books are so good for people who are just starting to read!

Radish8 did advertise it in the past in the opening post of ABBC and attracted a few readers. There was some caution about not competing with the official ABBC pick and pulling away readers. If the next pick in ABBC is another manga then there probably will be some people keen to get into a book. Perhaps we can advertise it in ABBC once weβve picked a date?
