Lcsmcat @Jerdencon @Hazel2019 @AnneCecilie Great! I‘ll add you all to the tag list. 1y

Tamra Oh this looks fun! 1y

Amiable I'd forgotten about this one. Sure, why not add this chunkster to my pile! I feel like it has to be done in 2023 to read it on the correct days of the week! 😃 1y

Lcsmcat @Tamra I‘ll add you to the tag list. 1y

Lcsmcat @Amiable Right? It has to be read in 2023. It‘s too perfect not to. 1y

Daisey I‘m still interested as this is also the Reading 1001 group‘s annual read. However, I‘m also a little nervous to try this one and MiddleMarch with PemberLittens at the same time. 1y

squirrelbrain I‘d like to join too. Just got it on Kindle for 75p, although it says volume 1 or 2 so may need to buy another later in the year…. 1y

Lcsmcat @Daisey Since it‘s so spread out, you can always catch up if Middlemarch gets in the way. 1y

Tamra @Lcsmcat thank you! 1y

Lcsmcat @squirrelbrain Super! Yes there are multiple Kindle versions, some of which are not complete. But it‘s public domain so none of them cost much. My complete was 99 cents. I have a print version (Modern Library) that‘s got to be abridged because it‘s only 500+ pages, but it doesn‘t say that anywhere. 1y

Daisey @Lcsmcat That‘s a good point, and the matching days of the week makes me think I have to try it next year. I think I may try this one in print and use audio for MiddleMarch to keep up with both as well. 1y

sarahbellum Ooo this is tempting 👀 1y

Lcsmcat @sarahbellum Why not join us? 1y

Amiable @squirrelbrain The one I just downloaded on Kindle says “complete volumes 1-9“ and it was 99 cents. 1y

llwheeler I forgot all about this, thanks for the reminder! Count me in 1y

Lcsmcat @llwheeler Lovely! 1y

Liz_M 🙋‍♀️ I'm up for this! 1y

Lcsmcat @Liz_M Great! 1y

slategreyskies I like this idea, and I picked up a copy of it today, but I‘m quite bad at finishing chunksters, so it‘s quite probable that I‘ll bail before the year‘s out. Still, I‘m going to give it a go. :) 1y

Lcsmcat @slategreyskies This feels like an easy way to read a chunkster. No pressure. I‘ll put you on the tag list, but if you want off, just say so. 1y

slategreyskies Okay, sounds good. Thanks! 1y

CoverToCoverGirl Yes please! 1y

Librarybelle Please count me in for this! What fun! 1y

Lcsmcat @Librarybelle @CoverToCoverGirl Great! I‘ll add you to the tag list. 1y

LocalTXLibrarian this looks like a lot of fun! can you add me to the tag list, please? (edited) 1y

Lcsmcat @LocalTXLibrarian Of course! Welcome. 1y

sarahbellum @Lcsmcat that length sure is intimidating… but please tag me for now and I‘ll see what miracles I can pull off 🙃 1y

Lcsmcat @sarahbellum It works out to about 3 pages per day. You can tackle that. 😂 And we‘ll all encourage each other. 1y

Amiable @GinaKButler and @Kelly326 Do you want to jump in with us on this chunkster, too? Or have you decided on your books for 2023 already? 1y

JenniferP I am interested in this! Clarissa has been on my shelf for several years now. I'm not the best at keeping up with Litsy, but maybe this will keep me more active here this year!
