Join The Historian Read Along, September 20th - October 31st

I had seen Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian in the bookstores when it was first published, but after a few glances, didn't feel it was the right time for the book.  After I read the Twilight Series (which is a whole another series of posts I haven't gotten to) one of my friend's had suggested reading Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian if I wanted a really good vampire story.  When I saw a first edition of the book at my local library booksale room for $0.75, I decided I had to have it, but since then it has just sat on the shelve, unread.

When I mentioned on this blog that I hadn't read it yet, Coffee and a Book Chick suggested co-hosting a read a read-along of the book, especially considering we're heading towards October and with October comes Halloween, the perfect time to read a scary book about vampires. 

This is a pretty long novel, so we're breaking it up into roughly 100-page manageable sections:


Schedule
Sept 20 to Sept 26 -- Chapters 1 through 14
Sept 27 to Oct 3 -- Chapters 27 through 39
Oct 11 to Oct 17 -- Chapters 40 through 48
Oct 18 to Oct 24 -- Chapters 49 through 66
Oct 25 to Oct 31 -- Chapters 67 through Epilogue


I'm really looking forward to this and hope you are too!  If you'd like to join us, more information can be found at On The Ledge Read-A-Longs.
