2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

Pages: 503 pages

Length: 1 month (March)

Participants: Lina, Rebecca

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

Hi Rebecca :) When are you thinking of starting this one?

I hadn’t decided yet, but ai’m flexible. I could start it today if you’re ready because I’ve barely started the book I was going to start today. Or I could wait a week or two if you’d rather read mid-month.

I think for me starting a bit later this month would be better, as I am still in the middle of three books. So if that works for you, a bit later would be better. Maybe in a week?

Sounds good. That’s what I’ll plan for then. Back to The Island of Missing Trees for me then 😊

I have now finished the book - have you? :) what are your thoughts?

I keep trying with it, but it's just so dang slow that I'm beginning to wonder if I should try it on audio, but my library doesn't have the audio, so I'd have to use an Audible credit on it. I'm still undecided with whether or not I'm going to continue with it.

Okay! Yes, it was slow at times
