There are twelve books and the plan is to read them in the order of publication from 1968 through 2019.
All books are scheduled for either one or two months. Books over 500 pages are scheduled for two months.
There is a scheduled break-month (or two) between every few volumes. This will give people a rest from McCullough or give slow readers an opportunity to catch up.
The schedule is posted as a PDF download on Eldertalk's blog: lindajomartin.com

I have never read or watched little women. Artist in treason is on my tbr. The doctor’s book what a great find.

[@tahlia__nerds_out]

Little Women is a good book (although I like Louisa May Alcott's other series that has "Eight Cousins" and "Rose in Bloom" even more). I keep telling myself that I'll go on to read "Little Men", but it just hasn't happened yet. I definitely lucked out in finding such a good copy of the doctor's book! We'll see which of us will get to reading "Artist in Treason" first! 😁

[@TriumphalReads]

Nice eclectic haul. That's cool you got a surprise autographed edition on the book on the Castle Itter Battle

[@tahlia__nerds_out]

Thanks! Yeah, I was startled, but thought it was pretty cool to get an unexpected signed copy.

[@BookZealots]

Well you took me down a rabbit trail of Little Women movie adaptations. LOL I haven't read the book in decades and it's probably been almost as long since I've seen the movie. I haven't seen any of the modern versions, including the 1978 miniseries. I think I've only seen the 1949 and the 1933 versions. Hooray for An Artist in Treason. You're in for a ride. And Prometheus is really the one to take the credit. What a neat book to have on Victor Heissner and read his experiences as a doctor. Very cool.

[@tahlia__nerds_out]

There are quite a few "Little Women" movie adaptations. I think that there have been at least two in recent memory: one set in more modern times, and then one after that which seems to be set in the same era as the book. I didn't know that there was a 1978 miniseries! I wonder if there have been any film adaptations of "Little Men"; I've personally never heard of any. I also personally haven't read it; it's on my tbr.
Well, pass my thanks on to Prometheus for "An Artist in Treason"! It looks like an interesting read.
