初心者のライトノベル読書会 📚 Beginner's Light Novel Book Club L20-29 - READING SOON: 🐱 黒猫ニャンゴの冒険 ✨

Final reminder to everyone to get your vote in by Dec 2, 23:59 UTC! We might have a tie at this point… (feel free to prove me wrong!)

We had a tie so… Tiebreaker poll. Auto-closes Dec 10, 0:00 UTC

Another poll, cuz I don’t think we set an explicit policy… Closes in a week

What should we do with ties
  • Read the tied works one after another
  • Tiebreaker vote and only read the winner, then go to the next round
  • Some other option (explain in comments)
0 voters

I think it’s not crucial which book we choose, as both options have already received equal interest from the group. Rather than delaying the decision for another week with a tiebreaker vote, I propose we use a random method to break the tie.

While I don’t entirely disagree with you, I will say if the results came in as a tie for my first place vote and my fifth place vote, I’d really like to be able to send the signal that I’d rather read my first place than my fifth place.

I just noticed that we have a Natively List: Beginner Light Novel Club Nominations | Japanese list by 暁のルナ | Natively - would anyone be interested in helping updating/maintaining it? It’s the sorta thing that would probly be broadly useful, but that I’m not too likely to do myself

You can add me as a contributor and I can help. I definitely am not to be counted on to like, remember to update it, but happy to help with backlog if that’s helpful. :blush:

Next week is the last week of 明日の世界で星は煌めく . So we’re accepting nominations once again, until Apr 13

Current Nominations List

While I’m not planning to cut anything (since we’re just below 16 nominations), I’m not opposed to cutting the 1-votes, if there are more books people want to nominate.

Summary - English

Yuuhi Yuugure and Yasumi Utatane, two high school voice actresses who just happened to attend the same school and coincidentally got placed into the same class, are the two hosts of a radio weekly program. As fellow classmates and voice actresses, they show all the listeners their great friendship! At least, on the surface. In reality, the quiet girl Chika and the gyaru Yumiko are complete opposites. And they absolutely cannot stand each other. Off air, chaos and insults erupt. On air, they’re the best of friends. Just where will this tumultuous relationship lead them?

Why are you nominating this book: I’ve wanted to read this for a long time and found out recently that its audiobook is now on Audible. (But apologies bc this is another book that @暁のルナ has already read :sweat_smile:)

Omg yes!! They have audiobooks for 1-4 now!! (the anime covered books 1-3). I had to deal with the awful dwango, back when I read it. Maybe I’ll get lucky, and they’ll release an audiobook for vol 6, by the time I get around to it.

Fine by me either way. I’m just as happy to participate in discussions for stuff I’ve already read. I’m already in the middle of too many books anyway

Btw, for the time, you can insert a fancy date display with the calendar button next to the cog symbol. That makes it easier for people who aren’t UTC because it’s automatically synchronized to the viewer’s local time zone.
