The なぜ働いていると本が読めなくなるのか read-through is nearly done, as next week will be its last week. So now might be a good time to think about whether the club would like to read something else.

A reminder that voting is open!
I noticed a lot less people voting this time hence I’m leaving it open longer…
If there’s still no change this weekend I’ll close as is…
I am still in “to read pile is too large, buying no new books” mode, I’m afraid…
I only voted for books I already own (and if looks like one of them is the frontrunner ).
TIE BREAKER
- 日本人の知らない日本語 1 なるほど~×爆笑!の日本語“再発見”コミックエッセイ | L28 Linguistics, Manga Essay
- そうなんだ!日本の歴史のお話 古代~室町時代編 | L22?? History
Oh no I still own both of those so I’ll have to read the next book
I have both so just voted for the one with the most votes I still have to read both anyway
I also have both and am up for reading whichever one wins. I’ll read them both eventually either way.
And the winner is そうなんだ!日本の歴史のお話 古代~室町時代編 | L22?? !!
I’ll be making a home thread soon so look forward to it
