But I did finish Seascraper and The South

I continued with the buddy reads; Tombland #ShardlakeBR and Emma #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow

I continued A Thousand Feasts

Jari-chan Wow, you've seen Annie Ernaux? 👏 1w

AnneCecilie @Jari-chan I actually did. Can‘t believe how lucky I was 6d
AnneCecilie @sarahbarnes It was, even if the introvert in me wish that the events could have been spread out more 6d

Hi, Shardlakians~
Full disclosure here. I am wwwaaaayyyy far behind! 🤪 I don't know if I'll be finished by 9/30 TBH. I have three options:
1. Still discuss on 9/30--thought the questions might be more open-ended.
2. Postpone discussion until 10/30 (not on Halloween, of course).
3. Finish on your own with no discussion unless you post your own review.
Where are you? What do you want to do? Comment below when you can. 💛💜🧡

lil1inblue I'm at on Chapter 54 - 61%. I have to say, this one is a super slow read for me compared to the previous books. I'm good with postponing until October or reading at our own pace and discussing in comments on reviews. 2w
LiseWorks Well I'm at chapter 52-59%. I agree it's a slow read, but I'm enjoying the book. I'm also good at postponing and reading at my own pace and discussing reviews. 2w
Mollyanna I agree. This one is a little slower, but still very good. I am also okay with postponing the discussion to October 30. 2w

OutsmartYourShelf Oct is usually pretty much booked up with Halloween readathons for me so I‘ll probably finish reading this one in Sept, but I‘m ok with waiting until Oct for the discussion. 2w
Karisimo I'm starting the audiobook today! But I'm sure I can finish by Sept 30. 2w
kwmg40 I've finished, but I don't mind waiting until end of October to discuss. I really tried hard to pace myself to read this over 3 months. However, despite the slow start, I couldn't stop reading once I reached the halfway point and just kept going! I'm currently reading Sansom's essay about reimagining the rebellion that's at the end of my edition. 2w
Daisey I downloaded the audio and got caught up for August with a lot of listening this weekend, so I should now finish on schedule. I‘m fine with waiting longer to discuss though. 2w
Librarybelle I am so way behind in the series it‘s not funny. Any delays in a final discussion just *may* get me one step closer to the final book. But, I have my doubts. 😂 2w
AnneCecilie I‘ll probably finish on time, but discussion in October works fine for me 2w
Deblovestoread Finished today. But happy to discuss whenever. I would have loved for this series to move into Elizabeth‘s reign. (edited) 6d

Thanks, @CSeydel! 😍

AUGUST Pick: THE CHATHAM SCHOOL AFFAIR
MARCH-APRIL/JULY-AUGUST Pick: HEARTSTONE

I can't believe my two top faves from this card are both rereads and are by C.J. Sansom. Yay, #ShardlakeBR!

CSeydel Shaping up nicely!! 2w

I haven‘t made as much reading time for this book as hoped, so I gave in and downloaded the audio. It‘s fine, but when I‘ve read books by an author before, a perfectly good narrator just doesn‘t sound right in my head. I‘m finally far enough in that I‘m getting adjusted and into the story. I started Part 2 today, and it‘s good to see Shardlake meet Barak again.

dabbe I think we all deserve an award when we finish this one! 🩶🤍🖤 2w
Daisey @dabbe I am enjoying the story, but it‘s definitely a long one. I will catch up through the July chapters this weekend, but I‘m not sure I‘ll get all the way through to the planned chapters for August even with audio. 2w
dabbe @Daisey I'm way behind myself. I hope I can finish it by September, but it'll definitely have to be more than one chapter a day now. 😂 2w

charl08 How is the audio narrator for The South? I wondered how the different voices worked. 4w
AnneCecilie @charl08 It‘s the same person that‘s narrates everything. I haven‘t really noticed any differences in the voices, but I‘m a slow audio listener so I may not have gotten to the different voices yet 4w
TheBookHippie How is year of wonder ? I‘ve looked at that before. 4w
