JOHN ADAMS READ-A-LONG--STARTING POST

After my recent declaration of no longer accepting review books (except in rare cases) and my statement of the desire to read more from my own library, I have decided, current reading obligations aside, that a logical step is to join this read-a-long...because David McCullough's John Adams is one of the books in my personal library...YEAH!

This lovely read-a-long is being hosted by Wallace at Unputdownables and here is the schedule:

Beginning Friday, April 1st and ending Friday, June 24th.

How it Works:
  1. Each week, on Friday, post your thoughts about the previous week’s reading. If you are stuck on what to post about, you can use these discussion questions to get you started. (You do not need to post a starting post, but if you would like to — just post something to let your readers know that every Friday you will be posting about your JA reading for the week.)
  2. Each week, come here, to Unputdownables, and put the link to your post in the comments section (and take a minute to visit others’ blogs to see what they’ve thought of the reading). If you do not have a blog, post your thoughts on the reading directly in the comments section. *please refrain from posting ahead, even if you have read ahead, as to not spoil the book for others*
  3. Feel free to use the read-a-long button from above in your posts or sidebars.
Wish me luck! How about you...want to join us?

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.

    I so wish I didn't have so many other reading obligations this month so I could join you with this one!

    Good luck. It's a wonderful book (I read it a few years ago) just make sure not to speed your way through it.
