Hello, Children鈥檚 Book Club friends!
I鈥檝e been percolating on the future of this club for a little while, and have decided that I would like to suggest moving this club to the Wanikani forums.
Here鈥檚 my reasoning.
Audience:
This club is a good fit for beginners who would like to read novels, but need a stepping stone before starting adult novels. The WK community has a large number of beginners who always need something to read, so I think this club would be a better fit for the demographics of the community there.
No equivalent club on WK:
The WK book clubs skew towards manga clubs, and their novel clubs are more advanced. I think that this club would be the perfect step between the BBC (reads mostly manga) and the IBC (reads adult level novels at a slower pace).
Engagement on Natively:
Engagement in this club has been pretty low lately, with weekly threads only getting a handful of replies, and only a few active readers per book. I think, due to all the reasons I outlined, that it would potentially get more traction while also filling a need on the WK forums!
What鈥檚 the plan now?
I can begin drafting a home post for the club on WK, and then we can start over with a fresh slate of nominations and get a new voting cycle going. Of course, everyone is welcome to nominate books from this club鈥檚 list if you would still like to read them. I think it would be a great opportunity to refresh the nominations and get excited about this club again while potentially drawing some new members!
Let me know if you have any questions (or complaints)!
