It’s time for some summer reading! We will read six books over the next few months and discuss them on this site. Each book will get one post, which will be an informal conversation-style editorial put together by two or more of the writers for English Light Novels Dot Com. It’ll be fun, so you should all pick up some of these books to read and leave your own comments on the upcoming posts.
Here is the schedule:
June 16th — Ao Oni (vol 1) — Amazon -- iBook -- J-Novel Club -- Kobo
June 30th — The Dark Maidens — Amazon -- Barnes and Noble -- Book Depository -- RightStuf
July 14th — Legend of the Galactic Heroes (vol 1) — Amazon -- Audible -- Barnes and Noble -- Book Depository -- Rightstuf
July 28th — Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (vol 1) — Amazon -- Barnes and Noble -- Book Depository -- RightStuf — Note: Releases on June 26th
August 18th — Shinonome Yuuko Loves Short Stories (vol 1) — C.E. Light Novel Translation — Baka Tsuki — Amazon Japan — Books Kinokuniya — YesAsia
It turns out this volume was not fully translated into English, so instead we will read Bokushinu (vol 1) — Hellping Translation -- Amazon Japan -- Books Kinokuniya -- YesAsia
I apologize for the last-minute change. You can find out more about Bokushinu here .
September 1st — WorldEnd: What Do You Do at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us? (vol 1) — Amazon -- Barnes and Noble -- Book Depository -- RightStuf — Note: Releases on July 31st
The dates might change slightly, but the plan is for a couple books to be discussed each summer month. I think there’s a good variety of titles here, so I hope all of you can find at least one novel you’d be interested in!
That’s awesome. I’ll try to read them all (^~^)
Great! Be sure to share your thoughts when the posts appear~
This is really cool! I may try to read a couple if time and resources allow.
I’m really excited to read all of these! Japan’s summer vacation is only a month and a half away, so I think this will be a really fun challenge over the break!
Yay, I've already read and enjoyed Ao Oni and Galactic Heroes and was planning to read Dark Maidens and GGO, so this should be easier than before to try for all.
