July and August Read-Along?

Well, my poll has officially closed and there were over 41 votes! So thank you!

One Hundred Years of Solitude came out on top with The Tempest in a relatively close second. Everything else seems to have been super uninteresting to you folk, so I think we can safely say there was little interest.

I am more than happy to host another read-along, but I am wary to host two at the same time (my current two read-alongs are a little draining and have taken up a lot of posting space on the blog. I try to limit posts to one/day if I can help it and I am backlogged with a lot of other posts). I am willing to host on the winners in July and the second in August. I hope that will work for all of you!

My thoughts are to begin with One Hundred Years of Solitude in July and have The Tempest in August. Let me know if you think this will work out for you and if you are considering joining. I will have official sign-ups on Sunday.

  4. I’ve enjoyed looking over your blog. I came across it through another blog I follow. I am now a follower of yours as well. Feel free to look over my blog and perhaps become a follower as well.

  6. I am not sure if I could make One Hundred Years of Solitude in July, but don't let me keep you from going along with it. If anything I will try. The Tempest in August sounds perfect.

    I feel really bad for not being active in the read-along of Gulliver until now. I seem to have to be somewhere else each Wednesday. Here's hoping next Wednesday will work out.

  7. I'll read both, but I'm going to read One Hundred Years of Solitude in Spanish, because I prefer to read a book in its original language (if I am fluent on it) and as I am Mexican, well, I'll enjoy it that way.

  8. One Hundred Years of Solitude has been on my nightstand for about 10 months now. I've been meaning to read it and I think it would be great to do it in a read along! I've never done one :)

  9. I've been wanting to read One Hundred Years of Solitude for quite a long time. I think it will lend itself well to a group read.

  10. I've been wanting to read One Hundred Years of Solitude for a while, so I may do the July read-along. Not sure if I'll be able to do the August one, though, since I'll be re-starting school.
