Anna Karenina Read-A-Long Wrap Up

Anna Karenina Read-A-Long Purple

Hey guys,

So there were a few readers that joined in on this slightly ambitious and may I say arduous read. If I am brutally honest I really do not think it was the right time for me to be taking on the commitment of getting such a tome read in such a short space of time whilst committing to other books and working full-time. It was most definitely full steam ahead at the beginning as it was free exciting and I really wanted to get it done. However when the dust had settled and things started to get even more hectic than usual at work and the books kept coming in I have to say I found myself getting in quite a tizz.

Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy

I am still working my way steadily through the book and am getting through Part 4 currently. Hurrah almost at the half way point you say! Indeed it is and there is a slight cry of relief (you know like if you climb a hill get to the peak and realise you could roll down if you wanted to?!). Well on my wind down I will be keeping you up to date with my reading of said book and hope that you lovely people will do the same as emails are always welcome.

Two things before I go I would like to whole heartedly apologise to those that have signed up and powered through this read. If you think I have been a bad host please do virtually slap me on the knuckles and scold away – all I can do is promise to do better next time and prepare properly.

The last thing before I resume normal blogging is to say not only sorry but a MASSIVE thank you to Christine over at The Happily Ever After who has been slogging away reading and keeping you guys up to date much more than I have. Christine you are a gem and if I lived closer these would be real.

Have a fabulous day guys and please do keep in touch.

In this very quick lead up to Christmas I hope you are all keeping well and not stressing out too much. Just remember to enjoy yourself and especially on the day to relax.

Anna Karenina Read-A-Long

Anna Karenina Read-A-Long Purple

Things have been pretty quite on the read-a-long front from myself lately and I would like to make a massive apology to those that have joined and heard so little from me. I am still reading along with you guys but due to work and other commitments I am going at a much more sluggish pace that I would have liked. Although I am very behind I am still very much supporting you guys and will be taking part in discussions about the book even if it is further ahead of my current reading point. The final week for the read-a-long is coming up and I really am hoping that I can catch up as much as possible.

Vintage Catch Up Sorry

I am hoping that you lovely people haven’t all but given up on myself or Christine but have continued with the great gusto we all started the read-a-long with. As a little incentive for taking part and being such good sports I have been kindly given a Special Edition Anna Karenina (inspired) Red Currant Travel Tin to give away to one lucky reader. The candle smells absolutely gorgeous and will tie in with any christmas scents that you have already making their way through your festive abodes.

The giveaway for the candle will be hosted here at the end of the read-a-long so stay tuned and get those trigger fingers ready to enter.
