Guardian Novel Read-along round 4!

[trobadora]

Hooray the readalong! Cheers to everyone who's hosted a post so far, been part of the discussion, and to those who are lurking, too!

We're nearing the end of volume 2 of the Official Translation, and heading into volume 3. If you've been meaning to catch up or jump in, now is a great time!

Fans of the novel, the drama, or both are very welcome! You don't even have to be keeping up with the reading - it's absolutely fine to just react to the quotes. We want to hear what you think! As you'll have noticed if you've dipped into the discussions so far, we also talk about the drama adaptation and do a lot of compare-and-contrast.

Please consider hosting a post or two, if you're willing and able to! Comment with a date from the schedule below! Posts should ideally be made sometime on the Friday or Saturday, in any time zone.

I know I'm already doing this week, but I'll also take the next one that no one else wants. :D (And yep, I checked what the upcoming chapters are and the offer still stands. xD)

[trobadora]

Yay! I'll take chapters 17 and 18, which would give you chapter 19.

[facethestrange]

Yay, thanks! :D ♡

Work and life have caused me to fall horribly behind with the read along, but I'm happy to take Chapters 11 and 12 of volume 3 if you'd like. (I would offer something earlier but things are going to get even busier over the next few weeks *sob*)

[trobadora]

I hope work and life will let up a little eventually and give you more time! We've missed you. *hugs*

Thanks muchly for offering! You have chapters 11 & 12. :)
