変な家🏠 🔍 Book Club (Intermediate Book Club)

I think this is going to be the first time I finish a book from the IBC ahead of schedule.

I think it’s going to be the first time I finish any book ahead of schedule.

Week 6 thread is up!

Poll to decide pace from now on:

Week 7 is here! I also made another poll about the pace in that thread

I’m just putting the Week 8 thread up early because I’m going camping for the weekend and may be off grid for a bit :slightly_smiling_face:

Week 9 thread is up! Nearly to the end :partying_face:

You didn’t add the link to week 9 at the top.

@ekuroe teasing us by not making the final thread so that we can talk about how the katabuchis were time-travelling vampires all along!

Sorry! My laptop trackpad unfortunately stopped working so I was waiting to use my iPad…

Last week!! Although I’m a little behind, will try to catch up today :smiley:

My latest book order got delivered today:

I didn’t pay attention to the page count and was surprised by how bigger it was compared to the first one:

Lots of plans and illustrations throughout.

I don’t intend to start reading it just yet because I have a rather large backlog but when I do I’ll post here to see if there’s interest for an informal club.

I’m in the same position with a backlog, but I would be interested in reading part 2 with a group too. Part 2 appears to have good reviews on Amazon. I kind of miss Kurihara… :smiling_face_with_tear:

Same, I’m busy with a lot of book clubs/books at the moment, but I really enjoyed the first book and would definitely participate if there was interest in an informal club for the second one.

ツー, really?

Also I haven’t read NHK easy in a while, it’s funny how it’s now immediately obvious to me that the writing style is strange and unnatural. I couldn’t tell before.

Looks like there’s a translation on the way as well!

Should we read it before the translation is released so that we can flex on the monolinguals?

Is the vocabulary sheet for download? I don’t see a button to do so. I’m on mobile

It works for me on desktop if I export the file. Try this if you can’t make it work on mobile:

Late to the party, but wanted to say to anyone who enjoyed the format of 変な家 but was let down by the ending, I strongly recommend 変な家2!

I picked it up a few months ago and was obsessively reading it in all of my free time until I finished it. It is linger than the first book, but since it is broken down with different chapters with their own 間取り to solve it is much faster paced, and also sprinkles the storyline throughout instead of having a big explanation at the end that feels like it comes out of nowhere.
