Natively uses the same forum software as WK so the mechanics of the book clubs are basically the same. (Over there we can tag the threads as well so they can be found more easily, but that‘s just a minor detail).
I will check whether people are interested in such a club over there and report back.

Congratulations to the winner! 
If anyone isn’t planning to read お探し物, (or has extra reading time) and is interested in joining, I’ve set up an 小川洋子 book club over on Natively, and we’ll be reading ミーナの行進 there.

As this will be the first book reading that I am running, I encourage everybody to notify me when I am doing something in a non-orthodox way or omitting something which should usually be there.

Well, there’s another book to add to my ‘to be read’ list. I think I’m fully booked up for the next 3 years.

The Beginner Light Novel Club on Natively is currently voting, and despite the name the difficulty and speed is usually not actually that different to our Intermediate Book Club here.
Amongst other lovely entries you might also find a certain cat adventurer book in there, also nominated by yours truly! So if any of you are still interested in reading it soon despite it not winning here…

Hey all! The current book club figued that they might want to remove the last week from the schedule because it just contains some additional info that doesn’t seem that interesting or relevant.
Which opens up the question to those waiting to read お探し物は図書室まで :
If we started a week earlier, i.e. on May 24th, what would that mean to you?
- I am ready, let’s go!
- I am still waiting for my book and need the additional week
- I have other things going on and cannot participate if we move the start forward
- Something else (please explain)

I may not be able to get the ebook since my Amazon japan seems to be blocked now. Plus I am quite behind on the current book club book, so it doesn’t make sense to delay the start of the next book on my account.

And it won! I’d love to see some of you over there!
@'s for those who voted for it here and might not have seen it on the Natively forum yet - feel free to ignore, sorry for the ping if you’re not interested anymore!

I voted for it because it looks cute and fun - but it may be above my pay grade for now. I literally just finished my first novel (kikis) and it took me forever haha. Thanks for the heads up though!

The long two weeks interval between the preceding and the new IBC-book is finally over. We start the new book now! (Can someone please change the thread title here? Thanks)
Welcome to the new IBC book!
