I’d be fine if you nominated one or two, even without knowing quality; we’ve got plenty of room for nominations at the moment.
I’ve been thinking over the pace question; initially I suggested doing a separate pace for each book, but I’m a bit concerned we’d just pigeonhole ourselves into a set pace anyway. Newcomers could see a faster pace than they’re comfortable with and assume that’s our standard pace and ultimately decide not to join.
I’d like to make the club as welcoming as I can; I’d love to see a bunch of engagement. Unfortunately reading levels are going to vary so widely and/or be massively skewed towards lower levels, which makes things difficult… I think we’ve been averaging something like ~30 pgs/week in the mystery club, with the odd 50/60 page week here and there.
A manga club to potentially be more welcoming towards lower levels. Could also set things up to be more like WK with a beginner club, etc, but I personally do like the more “themed” clubs myself. Maybe some polls could be illuminating:
- A set reading pace
- Voting on the pace per book
- Slower (~15-20ish pages/week)
- Medium (~30ish pages/week)
- Fast (~40+ pages/week)
- Wherever suits the natural divisions in the book
Also, you should nominate your picks @Dexter since you were the interested one in the first place!
