Intermediate Japanese Book Club Welcome to our Japanese book club! In this club we choose a Japanese book, read it together, and discuss what we’ve read. It could be meaningful discussion on the content, questions about vocabulary and grammar that confuse us, or just motivating each other to keep m…

This is definitely super helpful already! I might have missed it, but when is it expected that I create the home thread for the book (can I already do it or is it best to wait until its closer to the date?)

I usually say the sooner the better, as it can drum up more interest in the book outside of the main threads, which may not be watched as closely by everyone visiting the forum.

Then I will try to post it tonight and link it here :slight_smile: I hope this works: [image] あん older_woman:t2 (Intermediate Book Club) ・ Now Reading Week 16 Book Clubs Join the Intermediate Book Club Here! View this book on Natively! Welcome to the あん Book…

Ah, shoot, I literally just bought books and I completely forgot about the club when I did, so it looks like I’ll be joining this one late (quite possibly after it’s finished) nvm I misremembered about modifications not being allowed for that order! I was able to add it so I should be able to read …

I finally managed to update the proposals list. Sadly, three proposals had to go in this round due to lack of interest: 推しの子日本人の知らない日本語死にたいけどトッポッキは食べたい On the other hand this means that we now have seven (!) free slots that are waiting for your proposals! So please feel free to nominate new boo…

There’s a book I’ve been really wanting to read and I think it may work for the intermediate book club. I’ll think on it a bit more but may be putting in my first book proposal!

[image] StarlitGlitch: I think it may work for the intermediate book club Sounds great! If you’d like to get some feedback beforehand, you could just let us know the title and maybe somebody else knows it already and can comment on its suitability?

Sure! It’s 推し、燃ゆ. It won the 164th Akutagawa Prize and was a big deal a few years ago (so many news segments covering the book and 推し活 haha) so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a few people here who have heard of it! It’s only 144 pages so it’s pretty short, but it is level 36 on Natively so hi…
