Happy February! I've kept up with Chapter a Day of War & Peace since Jan 1st, so no longer #warandpeacemaybe - we're doing this. #ayearofwarandpeace

"Mansfield Park is the first of Jane Austen's novels to be conceived as well as executed and published in maturity." It‘s been ages since I've read MP. Much as Jane wrote this with older eyes, looking forward to reading through older eyes. ?

I decided @Lcsmcat if I'm gonna spend a year doing Chapter a Day, I wanted a physical copy. I went with Penguin Classic. I like that it has Character List, Maps, and Chapter Summary. Just starting Pt 2. 1805. 🤓

Somewhere yesterday I saw a post about how War and Peace has 361 Chapters. If you start now you could be finished by the end of the year. Might give it a go. Although I still need to finish the Presidents.

War and Peace is free on my Kindle and Audible. Maybe I'll see if I can keep up. Or maybe it's my 2022 big read. 🇷🇺 📚 🇺🇸

Crinoline_Laphroaig I was struggling through Washington. Well written but after reading Alexander Hamilton life story Washington's is a bit dull. Set it aside when Barack Obama's A Promised Land came out.

Crinoline_Laphroaig Wanting to read some since it was up for #GoodreadsChoice Award. It was good but when December came and I was ready for Happy Holiday reads. Not Bailing on the President's just pressing pause. Will definitely pick back up in 2021. Maybe a Inguration to President's Day Challenge to finish.

CoverToCoverGirl Sorry you‘re struggling with Washington. It was my favourite read of 2020. I throughly enjoyed Hamilton too. I‘m reading Grant now for the #chunksterchallenge2021 3y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @CoverToCoverGirl I'm sure once I picked it back up I will get back into it. 3y
