We have begun the Read-Along of The Song of Achilles! Everyone and anyone is invited to join in and I will be posting my FIRST HALF THOUGHTs on Sunday, March 3. I will probably have the whole book read by then, it’s so good!
A final post will be March 10. Feel free to post your own or just join the discussions here. We are informal. I haven’t even bothered to make a button. Is that bad? No sign-ups, no prizes, no pressure.
We do have a hashtag if you want to twitter along and post the quotes you like or your progress or questions. #AchilleSONG.
In other news…
The hosts of the A.S. Byatt’s Possession Read-Along will have an official post up soon and have tweeted that the first check-in will be for chapters 1 – 6 on March 11. The twitter hashtag for that is #readByatt. Thank you Kim! Thank you Lulu! I know many of you commented on my last unplugged post that you might be interested…

Oh! I am going to try the Possession read-along for sure. Thanks for the scoop Care 🙂
You betcha.
I was hoping to read Possession with you, but March is too packed… still working my way through Vanity Fair.
I really wanted to do Vanity Fair but knew that it was going to be too much right now! I will tackle that someday.
I’m so glad I remembered I had that copy of Mythology on my TBR shelf. It has been the perfect compliment to Achilles. It’s also seriously helped me slow down in reading it.
I don’t have any mythology books around; I do have this urge to watch Brad Pitt in Troy now/again.
Thanks for mentioning our Possession read-a-long! We’ll have the official post up on Friday, but wanted to get the first little bit of info out to people before it got too late. We’re a little behind as organizers 🙂
I’m here to help! 😀
Excited to try my first readalong. You are always such an inspiration and community builder!!
aw! Glad to have you joining in.
Nice hashtagging! I would love to join in on these, but probably won’t be able to without blowing off even more reviews than I’m already doing. Look forward to reading what everyone thinks. I’ve read Possession and definitely want to reread it one of these days.
So you want to reread Possession! You are one of the fans? awesome. I have wanted to read this for so long. Ever since I read a short story collection by Byatt…
I loved The Song of Achilles! It’s such a quick read. Now to find some time to write about it.
Found some time…I’m scheduling my post for Monday because I’ll be gone all day Sunday. I’m meeting an imaginary friend (Freshhell) in Pittsburgh so we can be real-life friends from now on!
Awesome! Have fun! I look forward to your post.
I am definitely up for a Possession re-read! Yea! 🙂
I hope you guys all love this book! It’s so so good 🙂
