Hi!
I’m hosting a readalong for Gone with the Wind from March 1-31 if anyone is interested!
I know many Classics Club members have this book on their TBR and it might be a good chance to knock it off once and for all!

2019 year of Shakespeare anyone? Maybe one play a month?

I could possibly get behind that.

We could even make it into a 3 year project to get all the plays, if people got really excited. Though that seems long. 😁

Part of me says, “Absolutely!” and part of me says, “Yeah, prolly not gonna happen.” Maybe make a poll and have people vote on what they’d like to have included? Or let everyone choose their own things and just have it be a “read some Shakespeare” event like the Women Authors event from a year or two ago?

I was thinking more aling the lines of voting for the plays, and everyone reading the same. But we could also split it into 4 month tragedy, comedy, history and let people read however many they want.
