No problem, just wanted to offer! I can run the club then, if no one else would like to. I’ll see if I can have the home thread up by Monday.

F&B is read at your own pace club (I’m assuming) so it’ll be fine. 
(I’m also a little worried about L35, but I’ll pre-study in jpdb ahead of time)

Woohoo! Can’t wait to have you!
Yep, it’ll be read at your own pace! And I believe in you both; you can read through anything with willpower! 
You’re living the dream. 
What else do you have in your cart?

filthy lies 
頑張ります！
Already bought them but haven’t added anything to natively yet…they will appear in my feed hopefully I’ll get it done this weekend… most of it is just stuff I have been keeping in my private natively lists of oh this looks interesting or maybe buy this the next time I buy stuff… I tend to wait and make one big purchase every so often, instead of buying a few here and there frequently.
Of course I have read everything in my library and have nothing else to read soooooo…yes this justifies things

Good to know
Sry I can’t ever see that phrase without thinking of that moment… If we go with 罠です, there’s an SAO scene that comes to mind, but nobody seems to have made a gif for that one

Hello all! Just a heads up that while the current club pick is now a couple of weeks from finishing, I’m not going to open voting for our next book until at least the new year (and even then may or may not pause voting until a few weeks after Flesh & Blood novel - Informal Club - starts Jan 2026 begins to give folks participating in both clubs breathing room).
Happy holidays all!

Summary - English
DEA agent Yuto Lennix had everything—a promising career, respect, and a partner he trusted. But when he’s framed for his partner’s murder, everything crashes down. Facing a life sentence, Yuto is thrown an unexpected lifeline: a secret deal from the FBI. His mission? Infiltrate the notorious Schelger Prison and hunt down the ruthless leader of a terrorist organization hiding among the inmates. Thrown into a brutal world where survival is anything but guaranteed, Yuto finds himself sharing a cell with the beautiful yet cold, Dick Burnford—a quiet man with a mysterious past who keeps his distance from others. With every step, Yuto navigates prison politics, forms unexpected alliances, and makes deadly enemies. As tensions within the prison walls escalates Yuto’s mission becomes even more perilous. Embroiled in the dangerous world of Schelge and his secret deal with the FBI , Yuto’s only shot at redemption might just lie with an unlikely ally, his cellmate; Dick Burnford..
Content Warnings
None known to me, but as this is set in a prison it’s probably pretty not unreasonable to expect drugs, rape, violence, etc.
Reason(s) for nominating: I’ve had this on my wishlist for a while; I hear it’s pretty fast-paced, and as the author passed away just recently I thought it’d be nice to bump it up a few spots on my TBR.
