I’ll be opening the poll in a few hours, probably 4-5 from now. I’ll note that an unfortunate side effect of using Natively Lists for the nominations now is that very recent books can’t be added (need to be approved first). @brandon just for visibility in case this is something that can be tweaked. I’ll track and monitor any fresh nominations for the poll though.
With my nomination we have 4 remaining spots. Looking forward to the next pick!
If the adder has the book link, like in this case, you can add the book to a list by clicking on the arrow part of the book status button:
Thanks, looks like that worked!
But I cannot add it directly to the list via search which is how I would normally do it for the book club 
edit: Should explain why - since I add notes to each entry it’s easier for me to add + note in one fell swoop as opposed to add, go to list, click edit, scroll to last entry, add notes, save.
The nomination list is here. You can vote for up to 5 choices. The poll will close in a week.
I want to vote, but it’s looking like I’ll be almost completely unavailable for my usual stuff for about three weeks in July due to work, so I’ll have to consider how I want to prioritize stuff…
So far it looks like シャドウ is winning 
This has been in my TBR for a while.
I also haven’t heard any youtubers talking it up which strangely I view as a good sign 
It also has 2 audiobook versions, so it should be somewhat decent.
I won’t have time to join for the moment, but before I forget, I do have a nomination for a future round of voting.
Book: 妃は船を沈める (光文社文庫 あ 42-6) | L30??
Is there an ebook available?: Yes (I don’t think any audiobook yet)
Content warnings if known:
Death (I assume murder?) based on natively blurb
Why are you nominating this book:
Sounds kinda fun, and nice cover.
I think the author is quite a classic mystery writer, he was the first president of the honkaku mystery writers club according to wikipedia.
2 days left
I’ll be traveling when the poll closes so I probably won’t announce it immediately but looking forward to seeing what wins!
As per usual there is a 2 week period between voting end and club start for people to get copies of the books (meaning this one opens June 10th). I’ll take a look at my copy soon and come up with a schedule as well as a home post.
As a note, I’ll be traveling/away from my computer for the first two weeks of the club, so I’ll probably end up posting them in advance because Discourse does not allow scheduled posts except for admin-y people.
ノッキンオン・ロックドドア did not receive any votes this round so it has been 
'd and is going to the nomination graveyard. See the top post for rules on re-nominations if you’re interested.
The time has come! I’d been hoping for this since I found a used copy in a loot box 
outside of a Japanese bookstore in Düsseldorf.
Aside from the last chapter (90ish pages) they’re all around 60 pages, so we could theoretically read a chapter a week for 4 weeks and then afford 2 for the last one, or read each chapter for 2 weeks with a ramp up at the end for a total of 10 weeks, something like that?
Or some other option, I don’t mind, I’m just excited~~ 
Edit: also, June 10th, right?
Oops yes, will fix. I always mix up those months.
Ahaha I guess I know the store
You most certainly do! 
It’s a shame they take off the covers, but it’s still super cool when they have books I recognize.
I created a home thread and gave us a 7 week schedule as that seemed the most reasonable way to cut it. I think 4 weeks would be too aggressively fast and 10 weeks seemed a bit awkward given the limited sections in the book. If there are strong objections to this schedule, please bring them up in the home thread for discussion, though.
side note: the summary for this book is so vague I really had no clue what emojis to use in the title 
No link to Natively page? Natively list doesn’t have Shadow, nor in home thread.
I’ll update the home thread, but I’m not sure if it usually links it or not tbh I copy the template each time
Perhaps update the Natively list as well? There are 15 items, but did the list change? I don’t see Shadow there. It may be a little harder to search, being a short and generic word title.
In addition, forum nomination list has 15 items, but there are 16 choices. (Up to 20 at some point.)
It’s not a current nomination though, it’s the current selection. I removed it when it was selected.
The forum nomination list has been deprecated in favor of the Natively list because there’s not much sense in trying to keep both up to date, and the forum editing of that list was honestly a pain.
Edit: I can see your frustration here though and I can include a Natively link in the home posts going forward
Perhaps consider a new list for current amd removed nominations. It can be useful for finding books in the genre.
