Sense and Sensibility - Starts 1st December (Aahana, Alexandra and Priyansha)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Hey guys! I'm so excited to read this with you! Should we set up some sort of reading schedule?

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

I was thinking, 100 pages every 2 days? So like, on 1st we start reading 100 pages and then on 3rd we discuss those 100 pages. Then again on 3rd, we read the next 100 pages, and 5th we discuss those. Do you get what I'm saying?

Yes, I get it. We had done our BR for this book this way. Yeah, let's do it as you suggested (but only if Alexa agrees)
And I think my comment got deleted. Did you see any of my previous messages in this thread?

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Had you? Oh... I didn't see. I commented because I just wanted to get things started... anyways this is great! I'm excited :)

Are you gonna reread it again Aahana? So this will be your third time right?
I'm excited too!

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

I have never fully read it... But yeah re-reading the first 100 pages for the 3rd time :D

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Oh and also, Devika, you can call me An. That's what almost all my good friends on here call me :D

[Priyansha]

Can I crash at ur reading partyy?

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Hey Priyansha! Are you ok with the reading schedule that I put up and starting 1st December? If you are, well, the more the merrier, so yes! For sure :)

Hello, the reading schedule is completely fine by me! I'm super curious how this goes! <3

[Priyansha]

the schedule is fine by me too!! I've been planning to read the book since sooo long !

[☆ alexandra ☆]

So you're reading it with us? :D

[Priyansha]

surely!

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Ok great! I'll lock this thread for now, and open it tomorrow. See y'all on 3rd :D

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

I'll start reading tonight!

[☆ alexandra ☆]

Whatever's comfortable for you An! I'll be starting this morning.

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Hey! So I couldn't reach till page 100, unfortunately. I have a ton of school work going on, as well as some other BRs, and classics are books that you can't just rush through so... sorry!
Can we make the schedule 100 pages in 3 days instead of 2? If that's too much for you, I completely understand. I'll just be posting my thoughts at that pace. So if you want to discuss the first 100 pages today, you can! I'll be posting my thoughts for them tomorrow, and for the next 100 on 8th, like that.

Really? Me too...
Yeah, I'll be going in that pace too. I'm completely fine with that(happy too)

[Priyansha]

hey girls !!
how's it going ??
I started reading today. And yeah! 100 pages in three days would be great!

[☆ alexandra ☆]

I guess we all agree then. :)
I'm nearly on page 100 but school is starting to get serious, so I think it will go slower from now on...
I was kinda bored at the beginning of the book, however from page 50 or 60 it got pretty interesting. I was scared that it would put me into a reading slump...I hope it will be even more enjoyable from now on!
The only thing I got to say is that Mr Palmer is one big mood (if you haven't met him yet, you'll see :D).

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Alright, I think our schedule has been pretty messed up. No issues. Let's start over. Starting today (6th December) we discuss 100 pages every 3 days. So no matter where you are in the book, let's consider that we're starting on 6th December. Then, on 9th December according to your time zone, message your thoughts here in the spoiler tag (so that someone who is still behind doesn't read it and gets a warning). Then on 9th we read the next 100, discuss that on 12th, and so on. You can read ahead if you want, but stick to the page limit when messaging your thoughts. And if for some reason you can't read the designated pages, that's completely fine, just let us know in advance so we don't keep waiting for you. How does that sound? :)

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Hey guys! I'll be able to do the BR too! I am fine with the schedule. I am reading an audiobook so I don't think I'll know what chapters to read, but I would request everyone to read me know the chapter numbers :D
Also An, I've added my name :)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Alright, great, Aj.
Is everyone else fine with the new schedule?

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Um, just 'alright, great'. Ok, then :]

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

What else was I supposed to right 😂 I can't put a gif I'm on my phone but you can imagine me inserting a gif of a smiling person giving you a thumbs up if that's better 😂

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Ugh I'm so stupid. I mean *write, not right.

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Haha lmao. 😂

Hi! :D

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

So how many chapters are 100 pages for you guys? :D

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

I think we'll read till ch22 for the first 100 pages! As we go ahead I'll let you know how many it is for the next, and so on :)

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Chapter 22? That's a lot :P
Though I'll try :)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

The chapters are really short. Just two three pages.

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Okay then. I'll see the total duration of the chapters :)

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

It's 4 hours 27 minutes. 😅
I'll see if I can get the ebook too.

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

A free Pdf must be available easily online!

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Yeah, got it, even sent it to my kindle :))

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Great so you're in now? :D

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

Yes! :D

Much needed. I'm down you guys!!

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

Awesome! Hope to see you on the day after tomorrow (9th) to chat then :)

[Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :)]

So, I really like it so far! What are your thoughts?

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

I wasn't able to complete it till the 22nd chapter, but the writing style is really interesting. It was *kinda* boring but then I grew comfortable with the pacing. I haven't read these kinds of classics before, you see. :)

[Priyansha]

It felt kinda boring in the beginning I hoped it'll grow into me as the chapters proceed. And I'm not disappointed :)
Btw does ur editions have a long looonnggg introduction section? And have guys read it?

[aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D]

It does, but I didn't read it :/
