2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss It by Stephen King.

Pages: 1168 pages

Length: 2 months (January and February)

Participants: Lulo, Binstin, Surabhi, Kalyn, D.L.

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

Hey guys!

I have begun this book and I think it will get spilled over in Feb too. It’s a long read..

I’ve reached the first interlude. This book is just gon’ ruin me, I can already tell haha.

Hi everyone.
I'm thinking to leave this one to read last in this month, so probably gonna finish it in february.

Can we make this a 2 month read everyone? It's really long. I can ask in the buddy read thread to have it moved to February's section next month.

Okay I'll ask in the buddy reads thread :) Then hopefully we can all relax with a longer timeline, really enjoy the book, and discuss it when we're ready.

Okay everybody, this buddy read has been extended through the end of February so take your time and enjoy. I look forward to discussing it :)

This has been moved to the February Buddy Reads folder
