Y'all I am so excited about how many folks have joined!! Truly honored to have so many along for the ride. 🥹🫶🌿🥳

Now that the quest has been out for a little bit and people have gotten some time to look through the books - which titles are you most excited to dig into?

If you have already read some, which ones would you recommend others start with if they aren't sure where to begin?

I'll plug that The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer is on this quest and the seasonal readalong, just in case anyone didn't catch that! Take advantage of a 2-for-1 if you can. 😃

I don't know if its just Andy Serkis belting out all of Tom Bombadil's lines but there are far more songs in this than I remembered.

I don't know if its just because im not used to the style of writing in this book but im finding it really confusing to read and there's so many hidden meanings behind what they're all saying its hard to understand them all

Anyone else just kind of bored. This story is very slow to start.

Please mention the length of book you refer to, I originally wanted to ask about only books around 1000 pages, but I decided to leave the post open to any sort of book.

Do you consider yourself quick or slow?

I used to be a quick reader way above my grade, but in adulthood I have grown slower. This is due to visual issues, concentration issues, and generally not having the will or time.

When I read Stephen King's IT, it took me a month or two i think, i am not 100% sure as this was years ago. (with breaks) I am now reading Salem's Lot, and though I wont say I am reading faster, I am at least reading more. It has been a while since I sat down to swallow 50+ pages in one go. I might never reach the speed I once had, but... slow and steady wins the race?

I will by no means say I am slow rn, but closer to average than what I am "used to"

I’m stunned. I’m actually stunned. If you’ve just picked this up and read only a handful of pages, and you’re thinking “this isn’t the book for me” keep going.
