Chi’s Sweet home is easier =)
And often suggested together with Yotsuba as one of the “first to read” as beginners (saw it on several sites when I looked for where to start, that was two years ago though)
And I do agree, I find them the easiest of my collection =)
As for the other books, here is an amazon link to 10分で読める話
It has lots of difficulties to pick from if we want those =)
I started the book at level 5 in Wanikani and I am 17 now. Sometimes I re-read the first chapters to my son and I can understand almost everything, so I’m happy with the progress… but then… I tried to read the sample pages of 時をかける少女 and pfffff imposible.
I feel there is a huge gap between the 2. Is 時をかける少女 specially hard? is there another book we could choose that could be in between the 2?
Thank you! That’d be my choice then for the ABJBC!
(Right, and now I MUST get to bed! Thanks again @emucat for setting this up!)
Yay!! The exact same ones too!!
You can show the inside to people too! I still have sleeping kitty in lap 
時をかける少女 is pretty easy as far as books go. 魔女の宅急便 was maybe a bit harder, but there was also over half a year’s difference in my abilities between the two, so it’s hard to say how much of the difference is from that.
Also just to chime in in general. I agree with @marcusp that it may not be worth a complicated nomination process for something like this. I thought @marcusp did a great job by just picking something simple and cute and saying “hey I’m reading this, who wants to join”. Just my two cents.
there is a 3年生
It looks awesome!!!
But:
Recommended for you if:
You have a good knowledge of Japanese grammar, vocabulary and kanji (around N3 level recommended)
really?
I’d love to join this.
I’m terrible at reading, not only Japanese, but also English, so I have a few question that may or may not have been answered already:
Thanks in advance for any answers.
I found atashinshi, which i nominated in the beginners book club on the search for recommended beginner manga too. I think this might be not a bad choice, because the storys are quite short and about everdy life.
Oh right, I have nominated some of these in the other, but would be more this level:
Classic western fairytales:
Japanese Fairytales:
I like the idea of doing the Japanese fairytales, but it is expensive for the whole set! And not sure how satisfying just one would be…
@Toyger, do you have an Amazon link for the lower set of Japanese tales (the ones with the more painterly style illustrations)?
We are currently reading a book in this thread:
You can join anytime as every chapter is independent. I bought the ebook. We expect to finish it at mid March, so I created this new thread to decide on a new book.
Mainly we post our translations of the page of the day, and ask about grammar points.
Some times we also talk about a fun fact of the book 
We’d probably do the set if we pick them, since it is sold as a set (and easy enough to do all, each book is basically a chapter from other books )
How long are these guys?
The one’s I read in PIBO are around 10-15 pagess
I’ll check later, but sounds about right. I’d guess 10-20 pages each
I’m thinking about buying this book:
But I don’t feel like I can nominate it because I can’t find any sample pages. If I’m reading the reviews correctly, it looks like it should be at an early elementary reading level.
I would say that a requisite is that the book has to be found physically and as ebook… what do you think?
I prefer physical, and know there are those who only join ebooks, so would be beneficial, but not sure if it should be a hard rule since I’m note sure if any of the books mentioned so far comes as ebook
