Intermediate Japanese Book Club // Now Reading: セーラー服と機関銃

I’m so happy people are talking about Brandon Sanderson’s books. :OOOOO

I still adore Mistborn and also his more recent books. I finally read the latest Stormlight Archive book recently.

He would come to Houston for talks and book signings a lot and he is as good a public speaker as he is a writer. He’s so excited about talking about writing with everyone.

I would probably join a 多読 club :relaxed: (depends on how much time i have in the next few months. Have to write my bachelor thesis :expressionless:)

What i would also be interested in is reading things that are not light novels (regular novels or 短編小説 or essays or whatever)

Count me in!!! :rofl:
I’m trying to get through all my graded readers (they go all the way up to Advanced in difficulty =P )
I read all the level 0 and 1 when I first started (2.5 years ago, before I even found WK! <3 ), and got a good bit of lvl 2 done, but then I got bussy with all the book clubs so didn’t get around to finish the rest of them. I bought the complete set, so have all of them.
And recently I found a different set, so bought all of those too :rofl:
Including the lvl 0 and 1 books, just cause I love graded readers :wink:
The old set goes up to lvl 4 - Intermediate
The new set goes up to lvl 5 - Pre-Advanced

And I have a TON of manga that I want to read, but never get around to. Maybe I can set myself a goal and try to read at least something each week, and see if I can get my speed up more and more =^_^=
As part of a 多読 club I might find the motivation to get it done! =D

Oh! And I bought these two years ago! But they never seem to win (Beginner Book Club), so maybe I should give up and read them on my own =P

Can you post the name of this please? The picture is pretty small and I’m struggling with radical search in Midori before coffee this morning.

I’ve actually been interested in these since I saw your original nomination post! Maybe they’ll win someday :smiley: But if not, I’m likely going to order them anyway, because they look like good practice material. So I’m super glad you posted them!
