Language Learner’s Book Club

Are you interested in reading books in Japanese with other language learners? Do you enjoy light novels? 別次元の図書館 (Library from Another Dimension) is a Discord based book club made by and for Japanese learners. This book club was made to encourage learners to read light novels, but the definition can be stretched for book selection.

Book club books are submitted and voted on bimonthly by book club members, so if you have a light novel series you’re interested in, don’t hesitate to give it a shout out!

There is no reading schedule! Feel free to read at your own pace, join in on older discussions, and read without fear of not being able to keep up. Typically, a large number of volumes will be officially part of the book club for each series chosen, but no one is under any obligation to read more than what you want, or are comfortable with.

All participation is text based. Don’t worry if you aren’t comfortable reading aloud, no one will expect you to!

July and August book club picks:

No. 6 - あさのあつこ

One stormy night in a dystopian walled city, the sheltered young Shion meets a mysterious boy intruder, who changes his life forever.

心霊探偵八雲 （しんれいたんてい やくも） - 神永学

When there's a ghostly disturbance in a school, a psychic detective is recruited to get to the bottom of the mystery

Past book club picks (still open for participation, just may not be as active):

キノの旅

宝石商リチャード氏の謎鑑定

美しい彼

ビブリア古書堂の事件手帖

乙女ゲームの破滅フラグしかない悪役令嬢に転生してしまった… 

無職転生 〜異世界行ったら本気だす〜

Come join me and a bunch of other Japanese learners in reading a bunch of fantastic novels! I’ve already read more than I ever could’ve hoped for with the help of this book club, and I always look forward to the interesting picks and recommendations.
