Japanese Light Novel Book Club discussion

Nominate Japanese Light Novel books for January and possibly February 2026 group reads. Nominate by the end of November 2025 please, then we will have a week or two to vote.

Remember to turn on the “Notify me when people comment” box.

The poll will go up on December 2025 where we can vote for our 1st choice and leave a comment for our second one. If we have a clear second choice between the votes and comments then it will be our December 2025 group read.

Please nominate only one book. If your nominee isn't (a.) in print in both North America and the UK+ and/or (b.) originally in Japanese, please say so. (No worries. If you don't have time to look this up, We will look it up for you.)

Engaging with the Plot: A Former Cat’s Attempt to Save Her Now Temporary Fiancé Volume 1

Also, if I can nominate a second book...

Promised to a Dragon: Volume 1

It's an original English language light novel written by me, and it was a runner up in the J-Novel Club contest

Feel free to ignore me though, since it's not originally Japanese 😅

I nominate "Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid"

ahhh i am late setting up the poll... should be up by tomorrow
