June is almost here, so I‘ve pulled out #DoorstopKristin and am gearing up to dive in on Sunday for #KLBR. I‘ve got my emotional support dumpster fire on hand just in case. Looking forward to reading along with all of you! What editions are you all reading? Single volume or individual books?

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Love your Emotional Support Dumpster Fire! 🔥 5d
BarbaraJean @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Haha—thanks! Me too!! 5d
Amiable Ha ha.. I have the same dumpster fire! My boss gave one to everyone on our team. 😄 5d

Texreader I‘ve got the chunkster!! 5d
Librarybelle I have to the same edition, and I have an emotional support dumpster fire too! I bought one for myself when I picked up one for a friend…we all need one of those! 😂 5d
CrowCAH It will be single volumes. 5d
Deblovestoread I've got the full edition, but on my kindle. Love my dumpster fire, too. 5d
Gleefulreader I have the same edition. Very excited to start on this finally! 5d
Daisey I‘ve also got the same edition as pictured, but on Kindle. 5d
Ruthiella I have the same edition as pictured from Penguin in print from the library which I will keep as long as I can renew it, but I also own it on Kindle. I bought it on a whim for something like $5.99 a few years ago. (edited) 5d
Bklover I have the same edition too! For some reason I also have two different kindle copies- not sure why two, but one of them matches my book 5d
Leniverse Single volume, original language here. How will we do this? Weekly check-ins, or? 5d
Suet624 I have the three individual books as well as the entirety in the one large book published by the Book of the Month Club. I‘m primarily reading the individual books because the larger one smells a bit musty. 🙁 5d
Andrea313 I've got the same edition- looking forward to getting started! 5d
MeganAnn I‘ve got the same doorstop edition on my shelf. 😉 5d
BarbaraJean @Librarybelle @Deblovestoread Emotional Support Dumpster Fire buddies! @Amiable What a great boss! My *former* boss is one of the reasons I needed this 😬

@Leniverse It‘ll be interesting to hear your thoughts on reading it in the original language! I‘m thinking small weekly check-ins then one discussion post at the end of each book. I‘ll probably post thoughts along the way and hope others do, as well!

julieclair I have had the individual volumes sitting on my shelf for years. I read book 1 and loved it, but never got around to volumes 2 & 3. I‘m looking forward to reading all 3 with my Litsy friends! Thanks so much for hosting this, @BarbaraJean ! 💙 5d
rubyslippersreads I‘ve got the same version, but the ebook. 1d

Hi friends! I can‘t believe we‘re already over a week into May, and I‘m looking at my summer reading! I‘m still planning to read the Kristin Lavransdatter series in June, July, and August. I‘m tagging those who were interested in a buddy read, but all are welcome—please comment if you‘re not tagged and you‘d like to be (or vice versa if you‘re not interested anymore 😁) Also I suppose we need a hashtag—any suggestions?!

rubyslippersreads Please tag me. I read this in high school, based on a recommendation from my mom. 3w
Ruthiella I like #AmIcrazyforattemptingthisdoorstop , but it‘s a little long! 😜 3w
BarbaraJean @rubyslippersreads I‘ve added you to the tag list! @Ruthiella 😂😂 I was just going to use the book title, but #KristinLavransdatter is also really long and SO easy to misspell!! 3w

Ruthiella You could just do initials: #KLBR 3w
AmyG @Ruthiella …I like #KLBR. Excited to finally finish this. I really enjoyed the first 2. 3w
MeganAnn Looking forward to finishing this over the summer. @Ruthiella 😆 #AmIcrazyforattemptingthisdoorstop cracks me up! Perhaps #DoorstopKristin would be a bit easier. #KLBR works too, but I am now calling this the doorstop Kristin book in my head! 🤣🤣 3w
Librarybelle Looking forward to it! 3w
Deblovestoread Thanks for the reminder! I like #KLBR, short & sweet. 3w
Bklover I‘d like to give it a try. Would you add me? 3w

BarbaraJean @Bklover Definitely! I‘ve added you to the tag list! 3w

BarbaraJean @Suet624 I‘ve added you to the tag list! It‘ll be great to have insight from a re-reader! 3w
