2025 Reading Challenge discussion

might be in on this....its a tentative reservation :D

I'll be in on this one, the hype has finally gotten to me!

This is on my to-read list, so I will plan it for March.

I'm new to the group and am currently about 150 pages in but I would love to be in on the discussion. :)

Just purchased the book...so I am in. It looks like an awesome book.

Im a tentative reservation as well. Hopefully I get it faster than Im getting Night Circus lol

There are 31 "chapters" and then two epilogue type sections, Final Notes & Citizen of the Century (2012). Hope this helps?

I will be participating :)

I haven't started .. going to check the library. If not, I will purchase it this weekend :)

I got my copy in the mail today! So excited to being reading! :)

So excited to start it.. hope I can finish the one I'm reading quickly!

I'm not a huge Stephen King fan, but I keep hearing good things about this one, so I'm going to join in too. I'll be a little late to the discussion because I have a book and a half to finish before I start this one--hope that's all right.

This will be my first Stephen King novel. I'm hoping all the hype is worth it :)

Question: how does everyone pronounce this? Do you say "eleven twenty-two sixty-three" or "November twenty-second, nineteen-sixty-three"?

I always thought of it as the former, but it probably makes more sense as the latter.

Kara I say it in numeric form!!

So I just finished the first couple of pages and I'm so hooked. I will have to read with the Tv on so I have a guide on time or I'll read through the night!! :)

I say it in numerals as well.

Totally hooked on this book .. read 250 pages yesterday!! Can't wait to get back to it today :)

I am hopefully going to jump further into it today. I was wanting to get a couple of my other books out of the way first. What I have read though has been excellent!

So far it os great great book. I'm having a hard time getting my daily tasks done before reading time!!!

I'm totally down with that! I'm still on page 52, haha. Still have a LONG way to go. I think it will be fast once I actually get started good reading it.

The extra weeks help. Thank you!!

This is Sara's very diplomatic way of saying she listened to my pleading lol.

I finished my current book so I think I'll start this one now for the buddy read. Hopefully I can get through it before the finish date.

So glad you can finally start reading it Sara!
