OK, I started this a little early and I'm almost finished (page 393) and it's only the second day of January! :) I have really enjoyed it so far!

Over achiever :)

Good to hear you are enjoying it.

I started, too soon to tell but I have a two hour road trip Friday so that will be the telling. Audio edition!

Just started

Started this yesterday, audiobook.

I'm finished and I really liked it even though it wasn't my usual type of book. I can't wait to hear everyone's opinions.

How are you enjoying the narration?

I love the narration of this audiobook. Julia Wheaton is one of the best, in my opinion.

agreed, I also picked up the audio version and she does a great job

The narration strikes me as overly dramatic at times, but I like her voice in general.

Oh I'm on board with it. Really have enjoyed the narration. Way more so in the "Darkness" chapters so far. I'm through part 4.

I'll look forward to getting there then!

Starting this week!

And, done. Couldn't stop.

Started today, reading the paperback edition. At Page 31 and already immersed in Addie's world. I like how the story started with a 1700's prelude and then transitioned into a modern update in 2014. The writing is rich.

Now I've finished Part One, ending with the first encounter at the bookstore. I'm enchanted. I find this book delicious!

I am around the same place....and also really enjoying.

Started part 5 today. Gotta hustle to the finish line - my library loans expires in 3 days!

Just finished Part Two. Two interesting developments to keep me engaged in Part Three and beyond.

I am halfway through the book and really enjoy it. I hope to finish soon to be able to participate in the discussion .

Just finished Part Three this afternoon. This is marvelous, and I'm completely immersed in the two timelines that Schwab has detailed so far. The surprise reveal at the end of Part Three is a game-changer. Wow!

Finished Part Four which covers events from Henry's point of view and fills in the back-story. Fascinating.

I am at 40%, I find her writing to be very poetic, and she trails off a bit, with that said, the story is interesting and keeps me reading for now 😊

I loved the book and wish I was able to contribute to the discussion sooner.
