(Seriously tho, what’s wrong with my question marks ?)
It’s that French Grammar says exclamation marks, question marks and some other symbols need a space before them, while in English Grammar – as well as in many other languages with the Latin alphabet – a space before the symbol would be wrong and thus look weird.
Ah, right. I was aware of that for the colon, never realized it also applied to question and exclamation marks.
Long shot and maybe the wrong place to ask, but; Does anyone know of any beginner/intermediate book clubs that meet in person in Tokyo? I think it would be nice for me to have a social meet up too to stay a bit more accountable with reading ![]()
I think you might be better of making your own thread for that question so even people that aren’t checking out the Beginner Book Club will see it. Good luck with your search!
is Afternoon Yawning the winner? looking forward to it ![]()
Yep, after many rounds of support posts, it’s finally managed to win ![]()
So, @simboubou , as the nominator (and frequent promoter) are you ok to run the book for Afternoon Yawning?
Well. Who would actively campaign for something and then refuse to handle it once it’s decided ?
(…many people actually)
Sure thing !
I’m not sure I’ll be able to read it all myself tho, but maybe handling the club will give me a good incentive. I might also get the French translation to help things go smoothly.
Do we have a checklist of some sort ?
Why yes, the legends of WK have created some resources stickied at the top of the Book Clubs category to help you:
- Tips for Running a WaniKani Book Club
- Master List of Book Clubs to add your thread once you are set up and with any major future updates (club finished, offshoot started / completed)

Created the topic for our next read, afternoon yawnings! 午後のあくび / Afternoon Yawnings - BBC Book Club - Home Thread
It’s 午后のあくび, though. ![]()
We start 午后のあくび the Week end after next ! 午后のあくび / Afternoon Yawnings - BBC Book Club - Home Thread (now voting on schedule!)
The speed pool has been up for a while but didn’t get that much vote. Don’t hesitate to vote !
Looking at the schedule for 午后のあくび, I will start the next poll on April 11th, so fyi if anyone has nominations they want to get in before that
I want to nominate きまぐれロボット… Lvl 22 on Natively. Is that appropriate and what do I do to nominate it? I did a quick search and don’t see it as a bookclub book in the past.
Write up a nomination post according to the template in the top post!
Note that while there’s no rules against non-manga in this club, it’s been years since anything else has won a poll, so you might have better luck in the children’s book club
Gotta be in it to win it, though.
Vote Ichi the Witch! (inspired by everyone else’s campaigning lol)
I recommend waiting with that until people can actually vote ![]()
I just checked in with Robert Cialdini, and he says this is a valid form of pre-suasion.
