Trying to be true to my word that our next discussion would be Feb. 20th, take everyone‘s opinions into consideration, and keep close to the seasons (depending on what part of the world you are in) without time traveling, I‘ve come up with a schedule for discussions. Note, you can read at your own pace and post whenever. The letters are different lengths and the above schedule is about 50 pages per week on average. ⬇️
Lcsmcat ⬆️ Fewer pages during Holy Week because I am slammed then. More the week after to make the divisions neater. I will still try to read on the “right” day (when it doesn‘t involve time travel) and I know myself - I will speed up as the end nears. But I‘ll try to stick to this schedule for discussions. For those whose edition is different or who didn‘t get the calendar, Roman numerals are the volume and Arabic numerals the letter number. #clarissa 1y

AnneCecilie Thank you. I think we were several that started to wonder about the dates for the letters when there suddenly was a 4 week break. Thank you so much for organizing this. 1y

arubabookwoman @Liz_M Thanks for tagging me Liz. @Lcsmcat Could you add me to the list of people tagged for discussion etc. of Clarissa. I wasn't aware of the Litsy buddy read, and coincidentally I started Clarissa 1/10, thinking a letter a day. But as we've all seen the letters aren't daily, and I was hooked and kept reading. I'm on Letter 23, 3/5. 1y
arubabookwoman BTW the plot moves VERY slowly, so I don't think there will be too many worries about spoilers! 1y
Lcsmcat @arubabookwoman Absolutely. I‘m happy to have you along for the ride! 1y
AnnR @Lcsmcat Could you please remove me from the tag list? I read through Chapter 20 but don't think I'll continue on with the book. Thank you and I hope you all enjoy the story. 1y
Lcsmcat @Ann_Reads Will do. 1y
Currey @Lcsmcat I just realized the schedule is for a different edition than mine. My numbers just continue without going to a second book and then starting over with lI L1. Does your edition‘s first book end at 46? If so I can figure out next week‘s reading from there. Thank you 14mo
Lcsmcat @Currey Yes, my edition splits the novel into 9 books and starts the letter numbering over at 1 for each book. Sorry for the confusion! 14mo
Currey @Lcsmcat okay, can you let us know the number of the last letter from each book as it comes up. That way we can keep in sync. Book one has 46 letters in it? 14mo
Lcsmcat @Currey Volume 1 has 44 letters in my edition. 14mo
Currey Great. Thank you 14mo
Lcsmcat @Currey You‘re welcome. I‘ll post the others later. (I‘m on the road right now.) 14mo
