    I am traveling in February, so you know what that means.... short stories!

    Our choices this month are:
    Coming Back After Transmigration - a BG romance, the title says it all
    The Time I Found Out the Heroine of a Certain Top Post Was Me - a cute GL university romance
    Mr Li, He Is Not What He Seems to Be - a BL office romance

    Remember to try to vote every month! If you can't choose or don't plan to read, you can always select the "I'm not voting this month" option in the poll - that totally counts as voting.

    In other news, due to my travel plans, the 1 year celebration zoom meeting will be scheduled in March. Look for more detail towards the end of February.

    Thanks for reading!

    @hypersniper159 - you found it! It usually takes me about 15 minutes from creating the discussion thread, updating the book list, updating the first post in the book group thread, updating my signature, to finally posting the announcement.

    I will be leaving on my trip in less than 36 hours, so I will be back to finish this month's novel at the end of the month. In the mean time, everyone feel free to start reading and posting, and I'll rejoin the conversation when I get back!

    One Year Anniversary Zoom Meeting!

    You read that right, we're having a zoom meeting to celebrate our book club's one year anniversary. It will most likely be at this time and date: Zoom Meeting time and date. Let me know in the poll if changing the time would allow you to attend.

    In addition, our discussion this month will be on a series of topics instead of a specific novel.

    First topic: are you excited for the zoom meeting?

    I can’t come, I try to keep my Saturdays for myself. I’m not sure if I want to attend, but we will see then. Also, Don’t let my personal needs disturb/discourage the event.

    That's totally understandable. I figured there would be some folks who felt that way, and honestly hesitated myself before deciding to do this.

    If people want to keep their camera turned off and just talk, that's also an option (but no pressure to come!).

    Can't come. I don't have the Zoom app or space on my phone to download anything. I also won't be comfortable. Sounds like a fun idea though.

    Also LotM, I just really loved the naming system and I thought it’s so refreshing.

    What initially got me interested in CN novels was King's Avatar, I watched the donghua with some friends and went looking for the novel when I realised it existed, and that's also when I discovered webnovels (i had only been aware of lightnovels before that). But what actually got me into the community was danmei lmao, before hearing about mxtx's works i had no idea there was actually such a large community for all sorts of translated cn/kn/jp novels.

    I am Chinese american, and initially, I wanted to get more in touch with my culture. I watched a lot of dramas, and lots of them were based on books. Because of that,, I decided to check out some novels. Now, I just like them and thats why I read

    I used to live in China and really fell in love with the language and culture. I used to watch a lot of Chinese dramas, but now I spend more time reading Chinese novels. I especially love "refreshing" face-slapping and rebirth novels, which don't really exist in English. I honestly don't remember how I read the first novel, or which novel that was, though.
