So, shall we all just go at our own pace through the month or set goals? The former feels a bit more relaxed to me.

I would love to join in on this. This is one my favorite books and one of the first classics I ever read. So I'd love to read it again as a read along. :-) I hope I can fit it in...

Our own pace sounds great to me!
So glad I saw this! A Tale of Two Cities in on my list to read this year and I love the idea of going at our own pace. :)
Almost forgot about this, think I'll borrow the audio or try serial reader to see which one I prefer.

I started early (I started on Wednesday), so I'm in the middle of part 2 already and I'm really enjoying it.
I read this book earlier this year and would like to follow along on your discussions, and possibly chime in. I had a hard time getting into the book, but after a while it grabbed me. Good luck in your readings!
I would like to follow along too, if that’s okay. I read it last month. I was going to wait for the readalong but got so caught up in the story that I read right through.
Confession time- I should admit going into this that (while I would never spoil it for anyone else) I do actually know the ending prior to reading the book because there was an episode of one of my favorite shows as a kid (Wishbone) that adapted it and I also saw the 30s film a year or 2 ago.

I'm already at 60%, but I'm slowing down for now because of other reads.
I've started again today because couldn't get in to it properly the other day. So far I like it although I'm a bit confused at the moment. I know nothing about this time period so hopefully it doesn't get to confusing.
I'm very behind with it, haven't started yet because I have a few others I'm in the midst of but really looking forward to starting.
I am done with it already. It was a slow start and I had a hard time getting into Dickens writing and acclimatizing to the time period, but once part one was out of the way, everything just flowed quickly. I do think some things are overly-explained and are mainly used as a build-up for the story and political scenario, but in the end it all ties up and it's worth it - there was some interesting connections that are being built since part one but you'll only realize at almost the end of the book.
Sorry haven't checked in I'm really behind (was ill so didn't read anything for a week) I'm still reading though.
Hey y'all, I hate to disappoint but I think I'm gonna have to bow out of this readalong. I really do want to read this at some point this year but I sadly haven't felt like picking it up all month and when I try to read a book I'm not in the mood for, I end up judging it differently than I would if I was in the mood for it :(. Hope y'all are enjoying it though :D Happy Reading :D
Carolyn I'll read it with you later in the year I'd you want. I was so behind then my audio expired.
Elishia-Sounds good to me :) I'm not quite sure when I'll be ready to read it though so if you end up wanting to read it sooner rather than later feel free to go ahead.
