Intermediate Japanese Book Club // Now Reading: サイレント・ウィッチ

Long awaited, and finally it’s here:

The Poooooollll!!! :tada:

Have a look at the List of Proposed Books section in the first post for details on each book. Every book has a Natively level associated with it which is annotated in the poll (this Natively list contains all nominated books if you want to have a look at the gradings in detail).

Do not rely solely on Natively level when making a choice. Please have a look at the nomination posts if you haven’t already.

Expected reading pace: We aim to read books at ~15 pages per week (that number might vary a bit throughout, depending on the book’s breaks and chapters). The pick’s exact reading schedule will be negotiated before the book club kicks off.

Short book rule: If the first place is taken by a pick that will take us 6 weeks or less to read, we will read the one in second place directly after it, without running a poll in between.

Start of Book Club: We will start the next book on January 4th (after a one-week break).

Poll duration: The poll will be closed on 2024-11-25T17:00:00Z. You can choose up to 5 options.

Oh, and if somebody could update the thread title to “Now voting!” that would be great. Thanks!

PS: Apparently the poll does no longer support multiline entries? Sorry for the slightly messed-up entries, I guess we need to apply some redesign here… (I added some whitespace but could not get around to fix it better, sorry!)
