Nicole R (drnicoler) | 8088 comments Well, for those of us who read Wolf Hall last month (or anyone who has read it in the past), the "family drama" tag gives us a nice excuse to roll right into Bring Up The Bodies!

Who had more family drama than Henry VIII?!? lol

The people I have down so far are:
Anita
KateNZ
Nikki
Nicole R

But anyone can join!

A rough schedule is:
First week of February: Part One, Sections I and II
Second week: Part One, Section III and Part Two, Section I (a little long)
Third week: about half of Part Two, Section II
Fourth week: rest of book

You definitely do not have to stick to that, but we do try and limit the spoilers to that schedule. However, SPOILER ALERT, think Anne will lose her head!?!?

I am actually very much looking forward to starting this. I feel like I am in the groove of reading Martel's writing and I don't want to lose it!

Nikki | 663 comments I can't believe you've opened with such a colossal spoiler - I was so looking forward to reading about Anne & Henry getting their HEA in this book ;-)


Nicole R (drnicoler) | 8088 comments hahahaha! It is historical FICTION—perhaps there will be a really big plot twist!! 😂


Jen K | 3143 comments I'm in as well! The library says that it is "in transit" so I will need to start late and catch up.

I also still need to finalize my Wolf Hall reading with a review. Work has just been a bit too much lately.


Anita Pomerantz | 9280 comments I couldn't really adhere to the schedule, but ready to get started now. Hopefully will make headway on my 4 hour return flight on Saturday!


Nicole R (drnicoler) | 8088 comments I feel you. I am on page...7.


Anita Pomerantz | 9280 comments Lol, glad it isn't just me. At the airport and an in the middle if Part I ch. 2. This book seems easier to read, but in some ways less interesting bc I feel they are recapping Wolf Hall more or less thus far . . .


Jen K | 3143 comments I pick up my copy on Tuesday but not sure when I'll manage to start.


Nicole R (drnicoler) | 8088 comments In this books defense, I am reading nothing these days. I am managing to slowly make my way through my audio because I can get ready/make dinner/clean while listening to it, but I haven't picked up a print book in like a month....


Anita Pomerantz | 9280 comments I am 83% through . . .don't know if I will finish completely today, but it's a possibility! I'm liking this book a lot more than Wolf Hall. It started slowly, but now it's gathering a lot of momentum as we approach Anne's downfall and Cromwell reveals a more evil side of himself.


Jen K | 3143 comments Glad that you making progress and enjoying! I have the print book but it will be a March read for me.

Nicole R (drnicoler) | 8088 comments I am on page 150. It has been slow going just because of work and life and not so much because of the book.

I did feel like it started pretty slow, it felt like a long recap of what happened in Wolf Hall, but I am coming to the end of Part II and I think we have hit a turning point of getting into more intrigue.

I will most certainly NOT finish today. lol


Anita Pomerantz | 9280 comments Finished! At 4 am, but hey . . .
