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.
