I’ve over scheduled myself a bit during these months so I’ve chosen a slower reading schedule.

What is the starting date?

[Deborah, Moderator]

Ian the start date is always shown under upcoming reads. It’s January 15

[Ian]

Thanks. I follow several groups with different schedules, (1st or 15th), which is confusing.

Looking forward to more Austen chat! We just read it in November in my real-world Austen reading group so I don’t expect to read it again, but will certainly join in the discussion.

Austen is being celebrated across several of my GR groups - I've already reread P&P and Persuasion. S&S is not my favourite, and I have read it only once, I think. Good reason to re-read it, or to re-listen.

Oh dear, nothing is simple, is it? My book is not divided into volumes, it’s just 50 chapters. If you could let me know what the chapters in week four and week six I can probably work it out. Thanks in anticipation!

Week 4 = chapters 19-22
Week 5 = chapters 23-28
Week 6 = chapters 29-36
Week 7 = chapters 37-42
Week 8 = chpaters 43-50

Thanks Abigail. I came out here to do that and you already had.

Some years back I wrote the sequential chapter numbers into my "working" editions of the novels, so it was easy!

I think I mentioned somewhere else the Plain Jane newsletter from The Austen Connection
https://austenconnection.substack.com...

Over the past year, "Plain Jane" has led a reading of all of Austen's novels, divided into sections, similar to what we do. They did it in order of publication. I think the analyses are excellent. They will be repeating the whole cycle in 2026, with basically the same info, if anyone is interested. I get the free version, which includes weekly essays on the section being read. There is a paid version with more features and discussions, which I haven't used.
