I've had a look at Wild Swans and to be honest I think the chapters its already broke into would work best. But I wanted your opinions before I decided.
There are 28 chapters, each between 20 and 30 pages. Thats a maximum of 30 pages a week and it will take 28 weeks to read the book. I can make the sections shorter or longer by finding breaks in the chapters if that suits better. So we'll have a short poll to see how we feel.
Please vote asap so I can post a final list!!

I think a chapter a week sounds good ~ what does everyone else think?

I'm so pleased this is the chosen book, I've been wanting to read it for ages and know it's a favourite of my Mum's.
I think a chapter a week sounds good although I may be a bit slower once Baby Paddock makes an appearance beginning of November!

I've gone for a chapter a week, although if it gets really interesting I might find it hard not to read ahead! I'll do my best to be disciplined though.

I've gone for 1 chapter a week too. Max of 30 pages per week sounds very do-able and shouldn't make this readalong into anything arduous.
