So exciting! I love P & P, have also never read Middlemarch, and although I love Wharton I just DESPISE "Custom of the Country." I'm actually excited to take another pass at it with this group, especially since social class is the primary focus of most of the undergrad lit classes I teach.
I can't wait for January to come! so excited! Last year the House of Mirth reading with you and the group was the very best reading experience ever. So looking forward to 2025!
I was about to be so disappointed that not a single Black woman writer was in the list and then I see the last one is one of THEE most important books in my life and inspired one of my custom tattoos: Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower. 💛✨
Another excited Middlemarch squeal. I am doing a 19th century wives under pressure next year, and Middlemarch was already on my list!!!! Thank you in advance for taking us through it!
Also have never read Middlemarch, looking forward to giving that a go!
I am so excited to keep reading with you! Love the selections, and I can't wait to tackle Middlemarch!
I've been meaning to read Middlemarch for years, so I'm incredibly chuffed to get that opportunity through this forum. YEEHAW!
I was already excited about Pride & Prejudice, but Middlemarch also?! My two favorites! Very excited to read along.
I’ve just seen this combination too and I’m so excited! Middlemarch is an extraordinary novel

Middlemarch is on my tbr for 2025 already so I’m super excited to take part in the slow read of it!
Also Parable of the Sower was one of my top books of 2024 (definitely trying to read Parable of the Talents in 2025).
