New Year, New Read-Along: Let's Read and Discuss Heidi Together!

Just a few more days until the start of 2020! Happy (almost) New Year, everyone!

If you're looking for a classic to read/re-read to kick off the new year, or if you simply want to discuss an old favorite with friends, I'd love to have you join the Heidi  read-along. :)

Here are the details...
The read-along will start Wednesday, January 1, and end Friday, January 31.We'll read 1 chapter per weekday for a total of 23 chapters. (You can use the weekends to catch up or get ahead if you'd like!)  Discussions will take place here on Fridays (January 10, 17, 24, 31) for a total of 4 discussions.I'll provide ideas and questions, and you can take part through commenting on the discussion posts here or creating your own blog posts!Here are some examples of past read-alongs I've hosted: Persuasion , Northanger Abbey , Emma , Pride & Prejudice , Mansfield Park , Sense & Sensibility , The Silver Chair, Emily of New Moon, Christy.

I want to say this will be my first time reading Heidi by Johanna Spyri...and I'm looking forward to finally enjoying the beautiful copy featured in the read-along button above. It was a Christmas gift given to me in 1998 by a very sweet lady from my grandparents' church, and she wrote a kind note inside letting me know that the book was once a prize from a spelling contest in 1955, and she hoped I would enjoy the story like she did. ♥

Do you have a long-cherished copy of the book or special memories from reading it as a child? Please do share in the comments section—and let me know if you'll be participating in the read-along too! (Feel free to use the image in this post and share it on your blog or social media if you'd like to announce your participation!)
