Ok #hashtagbrigade here is our 2026 schedule! A chapter a day for all but the Count of Monte Cristo. Since the chapters are shorter, we will do 3 a day. Anna Karenina is our very first #hashtagbrigadesidequest and we will start her on February 1, a chapter a day, alongside whatever other books we are reading at the time. I‘ll post again in December to see who wants to read Shirley!

BarkingMadRead Thank you for sharing! 7h

The Count of Monte Cristo | Alexander Dumas

Quick question for the #hashtagbrigade
The votes are still coming in, but the top 2 right now are both chunksters. How do we feel about that? The tagged book will take almost 4 months to read a chapter a day, and Anna Karenina has 239 chapters! Would everyone be willing to do Anna Karenina alongside whatever other books we are reading? Maybe start it in February as its on buddy read? Thoughts? Ideas?

SamAnne I‘d be fine with that! Both are on my TBR for 2026 so I will be reading both anyway. 3d

JacqMac That works for me. I always read them alongside my other books anyway. 3d

Ruthiella I think a bonus read along would work….otherwise we end up reading only two books in one year as a group! 😜 But that said, I‘ve already read AK and probably won‘t participate either way. 3d

mcctrish I‘ve already read Anna and I am committed to the Count 3d

rubyslippersreads I‘ve always wanted to read Anna, so any way we do that is fine with me. 3d

BarbaraJean Alongside other books sounds great—but also I‘ve read both so I‘m not sure if I‘ll join for either! Although a re-read of Anna is tempting… 3d

Cuilin I‘ve read both, probably will skip those. 3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've read Anna. It's on my classic that I never have to read again. But I'm in for the Count. 3d

Seabreeze_Reader Along side other reads might work better? I might be in for The Count. (Edited: I just bought an audio version 🙂👍) (edited) 3d

Bookwormjillk I'm up for it if you are. You do all the work. I'm just along for the ride. 3d

Bklover I‘ve read both, but would love to reread either alongside the regular monthly book. 3d

Bklover @Ruthiella 😂😂🩷 3d

Deblovestoread I love the side quest idea. Def in for count and might give AK a reread 2d

Bookwormjillk @Deblovestoread Ha! #HashtagBrigadeSideQuest I love it. 2d

BarkingMadRead @deblovestoread ohhhhhh we may have to make this a new tradition! 2d

willaful I've read both so may sit it out, not sure yet. 2d

dabbe I'm not sure how long the chapters are in these chunksters, but if they're short, we could read more than one chapter a day as well. I'd be happy to help plan that out (similar in a way to how we read BRIDESHEAD REVISITED). I've read AK and will probably sit that one out, but count me in for the count! 😍 2d

quietjenn I also support the idea of side quests, although as has been noted you are doing the bulk of the work so I trust you! Will likely skip Anna ... 2d

julieclair I read Anna this year so will skip that, but I‘d like to read the Count. 2d

kwmg40 I'd like to do a reread of Anna, but I'll probably skip Count, as I'd read it quite recently. 2d

Librarybelle I think whatever works best for you! I‘ve also recently read Anna so probably would not join that discussion, but I do want to read Cristo. 2d

CoverToCoverGirl I‘ve tried Anna several times, not for me, but would by for the Count. 2d

DieAReader I think I‘d skip the Count this time around but am game for Anna whenever works best😏 2d

eeclayton I've read them both and will most probably skip them this time. 2d

jenniferw88 @dabbe some Count chapters are longer than others, if I remember correctly. @BarkingMadRead count me in for the main ones (possibly), but I'll sit Count & Anna out, as I've read them before. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t mind taking a long time to read books (as long as they‘re out of copyright and I can get a free download. I‘m unlikely to want to read two #hashtagbrigade books at a time. 2d

lil1inblue I love the side quest idea! I'm not 100% sure yet on either - it will kind of depend on some other challenges. 2d

Tineke I want to read Anna Karenina, and want to read along. I'll follow along as long as I can do both books ( if there's a book next to it). Otherwise I'll drop one. 1d
