[close] So welcome to a Victorian-style Dickens readalong, run by me, Katie from Books and Things. Following on from our reading of Dickens's Our Mutual Friend, we'll be starting reading Bleak House in March 2018. Here's the idea. We read Dickens's Bleak House in a serialised way, just as the Victorians would have done! So, three or four chapters a month, every month for eighteen months until we're finished. We talk about how we're reading here and I then make a monthly video talking about the chapters we've read that month. Here's the schedule. March 2018, chapters 1–4 April 2018, chapters 5–7 May 2018, chapters 8–10 June 2018, chapters 11–13 July 2018, chapters 14–16 August 2018, chapters 17–19 September 2018, chapters 20–22 October 2018, chapters 23–25 November 2018, chapters 26–29 December 2018, chapters 30–32 January 2019, chapters 33–35 February 2019, chapters 36–38 March 2019, chapters 39–42 April 2019, chapters 43–46 May 2019, chapters 47–49 June 2019, chapters 50–53 July 2019, chapters 54–56 August 2019, chapters 57–59 September 2019, chapters 60–67
