britt_brooke The chunkster of all chunksters! 🤩 Are you starting soon? Do you have page flags? A notebook? 😅 It‘s a lot of work, but so worth it. (edited) 2y

LeahBergen @britt_brooke I always think fondly of our reading it together! 🥰 2y
Megabooks @britt_brooke I need to finish up my read of The 1619 Project before I take another long read on. So probably late this month or next. 👍🏻👍🏻 what are my IJ must haves?? 2y
Megabooks @LeahBergen I remember that buddy read and I had huge fomo. I guess I‘m finally getting to it. 😉 I‘m glad it was so fun for you!! 😀 2y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen Me, too! 💚 A reading experience like no other! 2y
britt_brooke @Megabooks The only real tips I have are to read slowly, carefully, and take notes. You‘ll probably want a couple of books marks, too. I used one as usual, but a second one to mark where I was in the footnotes which are long, intense and full of clues/information. You‘ll be flipping back and forth quite a bit. Watch for patterns. Colors, for example. I remember a color being mentioned on nearly every page. It‘s such a complex read. 2y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen Who else read it with us besides our incredible leader @JenP ? It‘s driving me mad that I can‘t remember! 2y
AmyG Good for you! I am so intimidated by this book which I have had forever. 2y
LeahBergen @Megabooks I tell ya… it was reading it with a group that made me finish it! I‘d recommend setting a weekly page goal (nothing too high) and just keep forcing yourself onwards. It DOES pay off. 😆😆 And like @britt_brooke said, definitely keep a tab in the footnotes section. You‘ll be flipping there a LOT. 2y
LeahBergen @britt_brooke I was trying to remember, too, and attempted to scroll back on here to see. 😆 I think @Simona and @Hooked_on_books and who else? 🤔 2y
britt_brooke @LeahBergen YES! Ok, I just found our tag #infinitejestbuddyread - there are over 600 posts! 😂😂 I‘m tempted to read them all. (edited) 2y
BarbaraBB Wow Meg, how cool! 2y
LeahBergen @britt_brooke 🤣🤣 I just reread a bunch of them! 2y
Hooked_on_books Yep, I was part of that, @LeahBergen @britt_brooke ! I never would have finished without the buddy read! In the end, I was not a fan, but glad I was able to finally get through it (and get it off the shelf!). 2y
britt_brooke @Hooked_on_books Even though I loved it, I doubt I‘d have gotten through it without the group either. It‘s so dense! 2y
JenP I loved it too but definitely a large part of it was reading it with all of you 2y
