1000 Books Project 2024 - Nicholas Nickleby Reading Schedule

Just a refresher on this year's project. I chose Collins/Dickens because of Collins' birthday in January (we read The Moonstone in January - April) and his friendship with Dickens. 

From the this year's original challenge post:

Our second selection for this year's project is The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens. Because he is Dickens after all, Mustich does not focus on just one book by the prolific author. His write up about Dickens in 1000 Books can be found on pages 215 - 222, with commentary on Nicholas Nickleby on page 218. He refers to the book as "Pure Storytelling Bliss."

This read-along will run from June - September.

My edition: Oxford University Press (The Oxford Illustrated Dickens) 1987 - hardcover, 831 pages.

Discussions will be posted here on the blog on the dates indicated in the schedule. Feel free to stop by the discussions any time. Post your thoughts in the comments, or share a link to a blog post.

1000 Books Project - The Once and Future King Reading Schedule CHANGE

Because your host (me) can't seem to not get behind on the reading, I'm modifying the schedule. I will be done with the first book, The Sword in the Stone, by the end of this month, but there's no way I will be able to finish The Queen of Air and Darkness by then as well. I honestly will be trying very hard to stay caught up from now on. *hangs head in shame*

New schedule for the remainder of the book...

• April: The Queen of Air and Darkness, Ch 1 - 14, pp. 201 - 300
  Discussion April 30
• May: The Ill-Made Knight, Ch 1 - 45, pp. 303 - 506
  Discussion May 31
• June: The Candle in the Wind, Ch 1 - 14, pp. 509 - 631 (end)
  Discussion June 30

Thanks for bearing with me. Onward with the reading!

(I updated the schedule on the original post as well.)
