I’d love to read with you, but my book is currently stuck in Japan and I have no idea when shipping will start happening again to my country with JapanPost. But I highly doubt I can get my books by end of May. However, since I can’t even guess when I’ll get it, I can’t suggest another start date anyway…
I have the same problem with Japan post - no shipping to my country right now. But it’s available on Amazon JP Kindle, so that’s what I have. If you want, you could get it on Kindle now until you can get your book from Japan?
@Marifly I think end of May is a short deadline for those who want to join but need to buy (or receive) the volume, as the situation is currently quite complicated.
Maybe end of June will be more optimistic?
@FlamySerpent, @Micki would you like to join? If so, when will you be available?
I agree end of May is too short notice. In general quite a few people want a physical copy of the book and it takes quite a bit of time to get delivery from overseas.
I’m in two minds whether to join you. I enjoyed book 1 and like the idea of reading another. I’m reading along with three book clubs at the moment though and have some other books I own queued up waiting reading.
Have you asked in the last thread (or home thread) of the first book’s book club? They would seem the most likely people to join you.
I don’t know how many people will want to join a volume 2 book club if they’ve not read the first one, but you never know and I expect it works quite well as a stand-alone book.
I just ordered it. I kind of fell off the map with the first one (life got busy), but I would be highly interested in reading the second one as a group. End of June would work for me (and would give me a chance to finish up the first).
How does this look? Do you think you’ll get your copy before the end of June or should we wait even a bit longer? I guess we could leave it like this for now and see who has the book and who doesn’t by the end of June.
Chapter 9: June 28-July 4
Chapter 10: July 5-July 11
Chapter 11: July 12-July 18
Chapter 12: July 19-July 25
Chapter 13: July 26-August 1
Chapter 14: August 2-August 9
Currently I can’t say. I might have an idea closer to the end of May if Japan Post opening up shipping again is dependent on whether restrictions let up in Japan or not at the end of May. Basically I’m dependent on Japan Post shipping again to Sweden with air/SAL.
@rumyrrh247, @MissDagger, @Micki and @anna_harumaki, it’s almost the end of June! Do you have your books and do you want to start reading now according to the schedule above? Or do you want to wait?
It looks like I will get my books some time next month, unless something else goes wrong. However, there are a couple of other wrinkles for me. I think the earliest I could be mostly sure of committing right now would be end of August or in September. Then I can be fairly sure that I will be in the same space as my books.
