The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
This book has been recommended to me many times over the years, by several different people!! Yep, I love it. Told from the perspective of the four girls and mother, I just love the different voices and the story is amazing! Yay, great books in 2021!!!
Saturday 2 Jan == 47 pages
... And Finished. Also read all the "abouts" at the end... and the author BK does mention that she practiced all the different voices by writing scenes from everyone's point of view. She def nailed it and I was impressed from the very beginning about how everyone is so different! :)
Sunday 3 Jan == 34 pages
Ha, I just started reading Poisonwood again from the beginning. Sometimes I do that with really good books! :)
TOTAL == 124 pages this weekend

*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.
