Ayunda (ayundabs) After two rounds of polls, we have finally found the winner for December's group read, and the book we will be reading is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Looking forward to seeing more people join in on the discussions and reading the book alongside each other :D

You still have half a month to prepare or find the book, so please be ready by the start of December! :)


Ayunda (ayundabs) Has anyone gotten the book yet or have started reading it? I'm planning on starting it next week so I might be a little behind from all of you!

I got the book from the library a few days ago but I haven't started it yet.

Sara | 91 comments i might get it today, but if i can't then I'll probably start next week too.


Ayunda (ayundabs) Yay! Has anyone read it before?


message 6: by Sara (new) - added it

Sara | 91 comments omggg, i went to get the book today and ended up getting every other classic but this one.


Ayunda (ayundabs) Aw that's too bad Sara! I'm really looking forward to reading this, I think I might start it in a few days.


Ayunda (ayundabs) I'm only on the first few chapters of the book. Really liking it so far. How is everyone's progress?

Sara | 91 comments I just started today, i decided to read the digital version because too busy to get the actual copy now


Ayunda (ayundabs) Hi everyone we're almost halfway through the month! How's everyone progress so far? Mine has been quite slow, I'm still on page 100-something but I really enjoy it so far!

Sara | 91 comments I mean I'm on page 6 and I'm reading 5 books simultaneously which might be the reason, but I'm absolutely sure I will finish it sometime this week..or at least i hope.


Ayunda (ayundabs) Wow that's a lot of books! I'm sure by the time holidays come you'd be able to read more! But how did you like it so far?


message 13: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished it! It's really good. I wasn't expecting to like it. The ending wasn't what I thought it would be though. It's a fitting ending but at the same time, I kinda want more.


Ayunda (ayundabs) Oh no I haven't finished the book yet and I'm still less than halfway through! Quite liking it so far, though. Not sure about what I think about the main character.
