Thank you for hosting the 気になってる人が男じゃなかった book club! Also thank you for the warm words, I will continue to the best of my ability until someone to take over has been found!

For all of you who would like to up their reading game a bit: The Intermediate Book Club is now voting for their next pick! Books will be read at ~15 pages per week, usually with a ramp-up phase, to ease everybody into a new author (and possibly a new medium). There are also a few manga on the list, which will usually be read at 2-3 chapters per week. The exact schedule will be agreed upon by the reader base.

If you are interested, please participate in the poll here: [Vote now for the next pick!] Intermediate Japanese Book Club // Now Reading: あなたも殺人犯になれる! - #4398 by NicoleIsEnough

Similar to the ABBC (and @NicoleIsEnough is doing for the ABC and IBC), I’ve created a Natively list for the nominations if people prefer to browser that way.

Natively doesn’t yet have wiki lists, so if you want to be added as an editor, tag me in a reply (and include your Natively username if it’s different to here)

It’s time to start the next book! Week 1 thread is up.

Can someone with the right privileges update the thread title for this thread please.

Still looking for someone to take over this book club. Would appreciate if someone came forward.

Hey, I see you’ve been looking for a couple of months now so I’ll put myself forward. I wasn’t going to at first since I’ve only participated in the club twice, but soggy seems to be doing fine with the ABBC thread too, despite a similar situation

That would be amazing! Thank you so much. If you need any pointers about the work we can have a chat on Discord/Email/Smoke signals, whatever works best for you.

By the usual schedule, the poll for book 32 will start at the end of next week (March 2nd) and run for one week (until March 9th). There are currently 17/20 nomination spots filled, which means there’s 3 more nominations that can fit into the poll, if anyone has any in the next two weeks.

Also on a bit of bookkeeping, the ABBC has dropped the in-thread difficulty polls in favour of natively ratings, and the ABC and IBC are in the process of doing so, so how do people feel about also doing so for this club?

Did this nomination get counted? It came in shortly after the last vote and isn’t in the home post, so just wanted to check!

Yeah, I added it to the home post yesterday. It’s the last expandable, and also in the Natively list, where are you seeing it missing?

Newest nominations are on top I think, so maybe that’s why they missed it.

Ah that was it, I looked at the top! Thanks!

Ah, I’ll move it up so no one else gets confused too then.

(I am clearly getting old, since I saw “The Promised Neverland, oh that’s recent, must be newest at the bottom then”)

With 22:0 (+7 indifferent), I think we can consider this settled, so polls are no longer mandatory. I’ll update the nomination template.
