This is the first planned reading schedule for #RealmofElderlings
I‘m giving 2 months for books over 500 pages which is pretty much all of them! This means it will take about 2 years to get through the entire series.
We'll be starting with Assassin's Apprentice in February, there will be a buddy read and readalong on SG and I'll post start, mid, end posts on Litsy

February‘s book, depending upon the version you read, may or may not feature Nancy in a tap dancing contest. But, the 1939 & the 1969 editions involve cats and tapping sounds of sorts. Will Nancy tap her way to solve the mystery?
Discussion on February 15th. If you would like to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know! #NancyDrewBR

I've set up a book club on Storygraph about reading the entire Realm of Elderlings series - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/29999d93-0689-409b-8291-72dbf71334bf
I'll host readalongs, buddy reads and I'll post on Litsy. I'm hoping to start February/March. Couple of things need sorting like reading order and whether some books need two months to read.

Hello #MonthlyNonfiction2025 friends! Both @willaful and @TheAromaofBooks suggested that since there are 11 Dewey classifications, it might be fun to read one classification per month.
If anyone would like to do that, I have updated the StoryGraph challenge to include the Dewey classifications as Bonus prompts.
So you can track your monthly reading in the regular monthly prompts (#1-12) and your Dewey reading...
