君の名は is the winner. We will start on Monday the 12th of this month in order to give every one time to get the book and also take a bit of a break since the last book. I’ll also put up the new thread for 君の名は in the next day or two.

I’m glad to hear you’ll be able to participate as well!
I’ll be sure to have the reading schedule posted before that date. It’s a bit harder to schedule due to the difference in how the book is structured, with chapters of various lengths, but I’ll try my best to create an evenly-paced schedule with natural stopping points at a pace of 15 pages per week.
The schedule will be based on the print version of the book. There is also some cool formatting in the physical version, and I hope it is represented in the digital version as well!

Can we already make suggestions?
「1リットルの涙」の主人公である木藤亜也は難病と闘った。 少しず つ病気の兆しが見え、だんだんと体 が弱っていった。 体が弱りながらも 亜也は、自らの決心、自分への励ま し、反省、感謝の言葉などを、手が 動かなくなる瞬間までノートに書き 続け、そのノートの数は計4冊にも 及んだ。
I wholeheartedly recommend the drama, too.
It contains a lot of casual speech, Kansai and Nagoya dialect, which takes a bit to get used to.

Are we going to do another? @Asher
Here’s another suggestion.
死ぬ前って、もっとワガママできると思ってた。
二十歳の茉莉は、数万人に一人という不治の病にかかり、余命が10年であることを知る。
笑顔でいなければ周りが追いつめられる。
何かをはじめても志半ばで諦めなくてはならない。
未来に対する諦めから死への恐怖は薄れ、淡々とした日々を過ごしていく。
そして、何となくはじめた趣味に情熱を注ぎ、恋はしないと心に決める茉莉だったが……。
衝撃の結末、涙よりせつないラブストーリー。
The movie was quite good. The book seems to be on display at every Book Off.
