#DoorstopKristin check-in! How‘s your reading going? I‘m moving along steadily—I finished part 2 this week and am finding it so readable. I have to admit that although I feel for her, I‘ve been a little frustrated with Kristin. And I‘m not a fan of Erlend! What are your thoughts on Kristin and Erlend? And Simon? #KLBR

AmyG I‘m on the third book. I love Kristen. Erland, meh. Simon? Not sure. 6d
Ruthiella I just got to Erland and I‘m worried that he‘s going to mess up her life somehow. Regardless of how I might feel about Simon, she is betrothed and living in a society where engagements are not easily broken.😬 6d
Texreader I‘m almost finished with the first book. I‘m fed up with both of them, but I remember being 16-17… 6d

Butterfinger @Texreader Kristin Lavransdotter was my very first book for #FoodandLit because we chose Norway due to your husband's homeland. The Greenlanders reminds me so much of that book. The writing style, names, the way the houses were built. 6d
Texreader @Butterfinger That‘s so awesome!! I‘ll look forward to reading The Greenlanders! 6d
Andrea313 Just finished Book 2 and have been *screaming* for Kristin to stay away from Erland. I'm mixed on Simon and if I had to declare a side, I'd vote Team Spinster. 😭 6d
Deblovestoread I just finished Part 1. It stayc slow but I'm all in now. 6d
rubyslippersreads I‘m behind, as usual, but enjoying it. 6d
Caterina I finished Part 1 and I'm so sad. 😭 But it's so good! I wanted to read it this weekend, but I was in the hospital. Looking forward to reading it more while I recover this week. 😊 5d
julieclair Starting it today. 🤞 19h
julieclair @caterina Hope you are healing well! 💝 19h

#weekendreads

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.

I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.

The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .

KadaGul You are FULLY BOOKED 📚🤓📚 1w
Ruthiella @KadaGul I am! 😅 1w

I've read roughly a third of The Wreath and am absolutely loving it. It was admittedly a little slow to start, but then it grabbed me all at once and I flew through several chapters in a row. I love the descriptions of the landscape and the colorful, vivid characters. I'm DYING to know more about Kristin's mother and I can't get enough of Åashild Gautesdatter. I've made myself put it aside for now so that I stay eager to pick it up again tomorrow.

Ruthiella Nice! I‘m only on chapter five, but also really enjoying it. 2w

"It's good when you don't dare do something that doesn't seem right," said Fru Aashild with a little laugh. "But it's not so good if you think something isn't right because you don't dare do it."

I am going to be in medieval Norway for the next couple months for #KLBR #DoorstopKristen. Enjoying it a lot, though I know it‘s also at times going to make me sad.

Quick check-in for #KLBR! How is your reading going? What do you think of the story so far?

I've read up through the end of Part 1. I found the first two chapters slow going (though I loved Kristin's interactions with Brother Edvin), but when I got to Chapter 3, I had a hard time putting it down!

And this is indeed #DoorstopKristin--I've been using my reading pillow to prop the huge thing up as I read 😆

TheBookHippie I adore this book. 2w
Suet624 As you say, you need to be patient at the beginning and understand that this is the start of a long story. Be patient. You‘ll get hooked. 2w
Ruthiella I‘ve only read the first chapter so far, but I like it! 2w

Daisey I‘ve read the first part and am enjoying it. 2w
AmyG Exactly…..it got to a certain part where I was all in. I am hoping I get to Book 3. Life has been BUSY and allI want to do is just read. 2w
AnneCecilie I haven‘t started yet, but have taken the book down from the bookshelf 😊 2w
Leniverse I saw that book one has three parts, so I decided to wait a week 😂 Starting tomorrow. Honest 😬 2w
BarbaraJean @TheBookHippie I'm so glad I'm finally reading it! 2w
BarbaraJean @Suet624 I think I'm hooked at this point! I have been struggling with the names, but Undset has me on board now. 2w
BarbaraJean @Ruthiella @Daisey Glad you're enjoying it so far! 2w
BarbaraJean @Deblovestoread I know how that goes! @Librarybelle @AnneCecilie Soon! Taking the book off the shelf and hoping to start are progress of a sort 😉 2w
BarbaraJean @AmyG Right?!? I debated cancelling plans yesterday to stay home and read 😆 @Leniverse 😂 😂 I admit I had the same thought when I saw there were three parts to the first book... 2w
Andrea313 Close to the end of Part 1 and loving it! Like others have said, it started a little slow and then captured me all at once. 2w
