The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas has been on my TBR for years and beginning January 3rd, I’m doing a Slow Read of the novel that will go through March 26th.
Why so long? I wanted to take my time reading a 1400 page tome. You know, take the pressure off. I have built in two days (Wednesdays & Saturdays) for what I like to call Reflection Days. These days can be used to reflect on what you’ve read, catch up, or read ahead.
If you want to join me in the Slow Read, please feel free. I welcome the company. You can join the Storygraph group or leave a comment here saying you’re joining in on the readalong.
