IBC Primer Book Club 🍙 Finished Reading コンビニ人間

When exactly you start reading is up to you. I will most likely post the first thread on Friday sometime (I am central European summer time) because I prefer it to be up early than late. But I won’t specifically make sure it is up before midnight Japan time.

And week 1 is live! Please see the extra note for the vocabulary sheet, and I have at the bottom linked to the previous club thread covered by this week, just be aware that the first week of the original IBC covers week 1 and 2, plus some pages from week 3 for us. And the thread have almost 250 posts! Super cool though to have that if someone wants to read (just be aware of potential spoilers).

Anyone interested in read-along / read-aloud? It might be even easier because of the slower pace.

Week 2 is here!

Obs! We are stopping in the middle of a section, so be advised to keep an eye out for the end phrase at the end of a paragraph and not the end of a section.

Week 4 is here.

If you are interested in how we are comparing to the original club, the last phrase for this week (#4) corresponds exactly with the end phrase for the original club’s week 2.

So I managed to divide week 1 and week 2 of the original club in half. ^^

@MissDagger how is the reading going? You did all the hard work setting us up it’s a shame not to have you reading along with us.

I’m easing back into reading after not doing it for a few weeks, but I hope to get back to Konbini soon. :slight_smile:

I hope you do get back to it, I feel like we are all really enjoying the book so far and the reading level has been really approachable. Thanks for still setting up all the threads, we really appreciate your efforts! :+1:
