Re: Reading short stories challenge 2016
Late, but I'm in! I'll be focusing on Japanese short stories, although if anyone has recommendations for German ones..?
Languages and levels: Japanese (N2), German (B2?)
Goal: One short story a week
Books you plan to read: Mostly specific authors (i.e. Edogawa Rampo, Akutagawa Ryunosuke, some female authors I have yet to decide on!) and stories from 20の短編小説
A link to your profile/shelf on Goodreads, LibraryThing etc: Profile, short stories shelf, Japanese short stories specifically

That's a great goal, but not what this thread is about We have this thread for external reading challenges, and of course you can also post in the super challenge thread

Re: Reading short stories challenge 2016
I completed the challenge! I read five short stories (actually, seven, since I read three in one week). You can see my list in my original sign-up post. Technically, I said I was going to finish my two short story books before the end of the year, but I'm backing out of that, so I'm done now that I've done the five stories.

I would be interested! I love to read, and I have several books of short stories in Danish that I could work with. And I update my Goodreads account nearly every day anyway.
