初心者のライトノベル読書会 📚 Beginner's Light Novel Book Club L20-29 - HIATUS UNTIL SPRING

So it looks like 🐱 Home Thread for 黒猫ニャンゴの冒険 ✨ is 4 weeks from the end now, and I just remembered this club exists

There’s 14 nominations, so if people want to nominate something, feel free to do so in the next week, and then I guess we’ll hold a vote after that

Nevermind - I was tired and missed the fact that they have way more than 4 weeks to go still

It seems you missed the “TBD“ in the last line of the schedule. The book has 320 pages, so there will be more than four weeks to come.

I most certainly did. Thank you for pointing that out. And yeah that seems like it will be substantially longer than 4 weeks. So uh, scratch what I said

Since 黒猫ニャンゴの冒険 is down to just three people including me, I asked the others how they feel about the main club continuing to vote and read something else. Turns out we’re all completely fine with it, so go ahead! :slight_smile:

I mean I’m not in any rush either way… It was more like “Wait - whatever happened with the Beginner LN club? Was I supposed to be doing something, and I forgot again?” So unless anyone’s dying for a new vote, I’ll hold off for now.


General note: クラスで2番目に可愛い女の子と友だちになった | L27 already got a book club of its own, so I’m moving it out of the eligible category

You can wait if you want to or think it’s a good idea for another reason, but don’t do so on account of us; like I said, none of us minds.

Current book club has about 4-5 wks left. So nominations are open

There’s 14 nominations (6 open slots), so if people want to nominate something, feel free to do so in the next week, and then I guess we’ll hold a vote after that

I’m not sure 黒猫ニャンゴの冒険 needs a repeat club this soon :stuck_out_tongue:

Fixed, thx. Tho if anyone voted, they’ll have to revote… I removed クラスで2番目可愛い女の子と友だちになった as well, cuz I thought that was our read… But guess that’s the other LN club :sweat_smile:

凜として弓を引く is our winner! Edit: Home Thread for 凜として弓を引く (Beginner LN club) - Reading in October, tbd is up

Start date poll is in the home thread, as well as polls about whether/how to schedule, and reading pace

4 Likes

So looks like our last poll had 6 ppl voting, and was 4 months ago :sweat_smile:

Just wanna confirm - are folks interested in keeping the club going? Is it still useful? Do y’all have time? If so, I’ll get the next nominations & such set-up. Though I’m unlikely to personally participate in whatever gets voted rn, b/c I’ve got a ton on my plate.

I think it’s useful, but not for me right now. I know there are a bunch of readers on WK that are probably looking to read easier LNs if you wanted to try and catch some more readers. But totally understandable if you wanted to take it on an extended hiatus or look for someone else to run it.

Same as @shitsurei for me at the moment - I have enough lined up.

So sounds like at least half of us are in a similar place…

Thinking about this more, I think I need to wait to see how Natively is Seeking Developer Partners & Collaborators shakes out b4 I can commit to getting things started back up

I’m in the same situation as shitsurei and legato at the moment - I do like the club and would love to eventually return to it, but I’m unable to commit to joining right now. So I’m fine with any choice made.

I don’t think I’m quite there with where I need to be language learning wise to participate again atm but maybe later in the year. I dropped out of this one not that far in due to time restraints and other stuff going on. :sweat_smile:

I voted on this one and then didn’t actually end up reading the book.
I still read very slowly and every book feels like a huge time investment, so I ended up reading other books instead.

Alright, so it seems like everyone’s kinda saying the same thing… I’m gonna put the club on hiatus until the spring, and check back in + maybe cross post to WK around then
