Proposal 1: fast track (2 weeks)

Book 1 - 318 pages
Book 2 - 340 pages

OR

Proposal 2: gentle pace (4 weeks)

Prologue - chp 3 (158 pages)
Chp 4 & 5 (160 pages)
Chp 6& 7 (174 pages)
Chp 8 - Epilogue (224 pages)

I've based this on my edition whichis hardback but of smaller size than the usual paperback (it's a funny sized book); The Secret History. Which would you like to do?

Would start date 14th March do? Happy to do earlier / later.... I've my own copy so don't have any time constraint :)

Amanda | 380 comments Um, I am a slow reader, but only because I am jumping between 4 or 5 books at a time, so gentle pace would suit me.

I need to order a copy in, checked my records and I don't have it marked as owned. Last time I checked it was readily available, but might take me a week to get it.

That's fine, Amanda. I'm leaning towards gentle pace too. Like you I got a number of books going on at same time.

Just let me know what date suits. Since I've got my own copy, am ready anytime :)

Amanda | 380 comments I've placed a hold with the library. Locally, one is due back on the 11th, but there are copies available from elsewhere, so they might send one of those. Most likely will pick up next weekend.

Most of the libraries in my state have merged, so the one card works almost wherever you go ( I think the library municipality my husband signed up to didn't join the larger group), so I am never sure if they are going to send from our own municipality, or just get what is available from wherever.

It's mostly good though, as it has made it easier for me to get hold of books that I might have had to hunt harder for otherwise.

Amanda, have you got your book? Just checking on start date?

Amanda | 380 comments Sorry, keep meaning to update - they have me 4th in the queue!! I couldn't believe it!

Library is so not working for me ! ( So hard to get translated fictions at the moment, and not just from my local library. )
