First day of October and I‘m starting my Q4 Chunk! Hoping to finish this by the end of November so I can squeeze in 1 more classic or non-fiction before the end of the year.

Birthday book haul! I‘m a little late posting…I was waiting for my new Tracey Crosswhite to be delivered! Excited about these!
I've finally finished Vanity Fair!
It was a bit wordy at times, but overall a great book with fantastic character studies and a fitting ending.
As usual, thanks for the daily posts @BarkingMadRead and all the comments and insights #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade I loved reading this with all of you 💕
I'd been wanting to read this book for a long time and I'm glad I finally got around to it, as I loved the story and the writing! Many thanks to @BarkingMadRead and the #PemberLittens #HashtagBrigade for motivating me to keep going with this doorstopper of a book!

It was a love affair from the start for me! Thank you #hashtagbrigade for making all my days so fun
Overall, I enjoyed this long listen. It has some really entertaining sections, several cliffhangers, and also some ridiculously long sections. I was often amused by the narrator‘s asides to the reader and some incredibly odd name choices. All the main characters annoyed me at times, but I was fully invested in their stories as well.
@BarkingMadRead Thanks for another great #PemberLittens #HashtagBrigade readalong!

“All is vanity, nothing is fair.“ After 912 pages and 67 chapters, that pretty much is the main theme. I can see why this is Thackeray's masterpiece as he scathingly criticizes the norms in early 19th-century England between rich vs. poor, women vs. men, religion vs. non-religion ... nobody is immune from his satire. A different type of narrator, too, where you felt like he was addressing you personally for a LONG story. ⬇️

A question….. we have 8 chapters left and two days in the month. Do we want to bang this out, reading another chapter today, 3 tomorrow, and then finishing it on Thursday? Or do we want to stick with the two a day and go into September? #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade

#pemberlittens 2 chapters a day of this rollicking ride of a novel make my day ❤️❤️ I‘m going to go down a rabbit hole of mini series when we are finished it so I can relive every hilarious soap opera minute ( reading on my kindle I have no idea, really, where we are logistically in it, last third-ish?)
Ch 41-42: we visit the Crawleys and the Osbornes. My book had no drawings for either chapter, so here is Becky and Rawdon from the BBC series 🤣 #beckywinseveryoneover #evensouthdown #fredtriestoswindleosborne #heisnotsuccessful #karmaallaround #osbornewontlethisdaughtermarry #wtf #everyoneismiserable #exceptgeorgy #staytuned #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade
