Announcing: Nicholas Nickleby Readalong 2021

February is the birth month of Charles Dickens, so I usually celebrate it by reading Dickens in February. This year it will be for Nicholas Nickleby, and I invite you all to join me in:

NICHOLAS NICKLEBY READALONG 2021

(February 1 ~ March 13)

My original plan is to read it in February, but after breaking down the chapters (and there are 70 of them!), I decided to stretch it through the 2nd week of March, making it a six weeks event. This way, I believe, we can read quite leisurely, without pressure.

I will try to post one update each weekend, summarizing the chapters we have read, and maybe with one or two topics to discuss, but I don't make any promises, as it will depend on how busy I will be; but at least I'll try! 😊

Without further ado, here is our time frame:

NICHOLAS NICKLEBY READALONG 2021

in six weeks

1^st week (February 1~February 6): Ch. 1-11

2^nd week (February 7~February 13): Ch. 12-21

3^rd week (February 14~February 20): Ch. 22-31

4^th week (February 21~February27): Ch. 32-41

5^th week (February 28~March 6): Ch. 42-51

6^th week (March 7~March 13): Ch. 52-70

March 14~March 20: REVIEW/WRAP UP

I will be reading from Wordsworth Classics edition, and my copy has 769 pages, meaning I will have to read about 130-ish pages each week 😱. I really doubt I can catch up with that pace, but let's see! Having buddies to read with helps a lot, I hope!
