Ten or so books in eighty days may not be too bad to get through, on the surface, as soon as you started naming the books, it got insane pretty quickly 😅 If I had a time frame to read a specific amount of books, I would make sure The Count of Monte Cristo would not be there.😂 Completely understandable that you had to switch a few out.
Ha, considering how many long books I had to read, I'm surprised how good I did. Not only The Count of Monte Cristo, but The Betrothed was also 700 pages, and Ivanhoe was like 500. So lots of long books, lol.
What an awesome recap! I've heard from several people that Sound and Fury is not very good. Sounds like I should go ahead and keep it off my future TBRs!
Such an interesting mix of books for this readathon! I have some William Faulkner on my TBR but I am weary of reading his work. Hearing your review didn't make me more eager to pick him up haha.
This was lovely, Anne. I completely understand being super excited for a readathon and that excitement waning over time. ❤
Yes! I think I'm going to do only month long readathons now, because I can stay motivated better.

Yeah, I know a couple other Booktubers who didn't enjoy the Sound and the Fury either. But who knows, maybe you might enjoy it.
I love the mix of books you choose for this readathon. I didn't participate but Around the world in 80 days is on my list for this year to read.
Oh, I hope you enjoy it! It's one of my favorite classics!

Yeah...I do want to read more William Faulkner, but my introduction to him didn't encourage me to read more of his.
Such interesting books, Anne! I really enjoyed participating in this readalong! Thank you! 😄♥️ I enjoy big families in books, too!
Thank you! I had so much fun with the readathon too!
LOL WHAT YOU PUT UP FOR MURDER IN AN IRISH VILLAGES CHARACTERS NAME (oops sorry) is miss spelt, it`s siobhan but your pronunciation was correct lol
Darn, Siobhan is right. Ah well, I did really struggle with the Irish names, and had to look up the pronunciation of quite a few.
@@AnneEWilliamson lmao, it took me a few minutes cos it played havoc with my dyslexia hahaha
