Christmas Read-a-Long Anncmnt.

Hello everyone,

I have thought about this for a while and decided to go for it. I already knew I wanted to read A Christmas Carol as my December classics read, but I decided to turn this into a Read-a-Long. I will be hosting this, so anyone who would like to follow along be sure to add your name/blog to the Mister Linky below.

Starting Wednesday, November 24th and ending on Friday, December 24th, all Five Staves of Charles Dickens Christmas classic,  A Christmas Carol will be read.

Weekly Schedule:

  1. November 24-December 1: Stave One: Marley's Ghost (pages 1-25)
  2. December 1-8: Stave Two: The First of Three Spirits (pages 28-51)
  3. December 8-15: Stave Three: The Second of Three Spirits (pages 51-81)
  4. December 15-22: Stave Four: The Last of the Spirits (pages 81-101)
  5. December 22-24: Stave Five: The End of It (pages 101-106)
The only way I could get this to fit my schedule was to start reading the last week of November. Feel free to read at your own pace, but only comment and blog your weekly responces according to this schedule. I think it will fun to start reading the week of Thanksgiving, it will put me in the the mood for Christmas.

Feel free to grab the picture badge above, just copy/paste the image location. Make sure any, and all, blog posts about this Read-a-Long be linked back to my blog. Also, anyone who does not have a blog may also participate. Please leave a comment to me for each week with any thoughts you have on A Christmas Carol.

I hope you will join me!

  4. I've never participated in a read-along, and am very excited. I can't think of a better way to get into the Christmas Spirit! Thanks for hosting.

  5. Just got a copy of it - only $4 at Borders Books! Its only 85 pages though, hopefully not too different a printing than yours. I'm going to write up a quick post about the read-a-long!

  6. Love this idea. I've never read A Christmas Carol before, but have wanted to. I've got a couple different ones on hold hopefully one is the correct version, not abridged or some such thing.
    I'll share about this on my blog if you'd like.

  7. Loving this idea! I don't think I've read A Christmas Carol since high school, maybe even middle school. I know shame on me, a reread is certainly in order.
