I think I’m be excited to read if the majority of entries happen to win, but I do only plan on voting for three or four.

Uhh… I’d probably read it if it won, but I’m not going to vote for it.
I’d probably skip the horror ones and @Naphthalene’s nomination because I don’t want to die.

Oh, is that how it works?

Did you buy the Junior Bunko edition? I’m never sure whether those are re-writings or just the original with furigana and/or illustrations. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was the latter, but I don’t know if it varies…

Are they ever rewrites? I’ve never heard of that happening.
What are you thinking about voting for by the way? (assuming you’re going to vote at all)
Are there even multiple versions of that book? I can only find one on amazon.

Well, no, my point is that I don’t know 
I don’t think they’re ever rewrites, but it just feels weird for the same book to be marketed as a “novel” in one publishing line and as a “picture book” in another!

By the way, the Amazon link to Wolf Children is for the furigana version. Should we link the non-furigana version instead?

Hum… I bought this one from CDJapan:
The cover is different from the Amazon version though. They both say “Futabasha Bunko” so I went for it? 
Hum… but the one on CDJapan says “Futabasha Junior Bunko”… 
frick.
Quick cancel it before it’s too late!

Oh! Sure, I didn’t check the Amazon links (which was silly in that case, because the nomination explicitly says…). Quite a few of the books have Tsubasa Bunko editions but I thought it would make sense to always link the non-furigana version in the first instance.
It might be a useful thing to note the existence of, though less confident readers might be more likely to join in.
@jprspereira it’s okay, seanblue has decreed that they are never re-writes!

THE COVERS ARE JUST DIFFERENT OKAY! DON’T MAKE ME EMOTIONAL.

The page count is nearly the same(the junior version has a few more pages), at least, so that seems to indicate that they probably are the same.

Ah - and I don’t think I’m going to vote. I think the pace would be a bit too brutal for me right now 
If I was going to vote it would probably be for Kino’s Journey and Wolf Children, though my new goal in life is to someday read I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. I’m actually pretty intrigued by Night Market too, although I don’t like horror so I don’t know why.
I briefly considered voting for all the things I don’t want to read so that you all don’t read something I want to join in with yet, but I guess that would be unethical or something

Where did you find the number of pages? o:
HA! MY VERSION IS BETTER! I BET IT HAS SOME CUTE DRAWINGS AS AN EXTRA.

Listing both versions makes sense. Surely in this group most people will want the non-furigana version, so listing that version first makes sense too. For once I want to try to read the version that most other people are reading!

I managed to find both versions on amazon:
Also, I found short samples of both versions with google - the first page is identical in both too, aside from the junior version having furigana.

We should just read 約束のネバーランド instead. Let’s all get traumatized (in Japanese) together.

The first volume wasn’t even that hard, so I think it would be too easy for this group. Also, after the first chapter the rest of the volume is pretty boring.
