Hi friends,
I'm sorry for this being up later than I promised.
Here is the updated reading schedule for our Les Mis year long readalong.
14 - 4
Hi friends,
I have yet more sad news to share.
You may have noticed that I've cancelled my Monday morning sprints and moved the sprints for When the Moon Hatched. The start of the year has not been kind to my family and sadly we have suffered another loss.
I haven't changed our Wednesday or Les Mis sprints because I don't want to fall too far behind, and quite honestly, I miss you all.
Please keep my family in your prayers. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. ๐
With gratitude,
Didi ๐ซถ๐พ

Life Update
Hi friends ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
I wanted to take a moment to update you all on my recent absence and the cancellation of our planned sprints. Some of you may already know that my aunt was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago with acute organ failure. We visited her daily during that time, and last week Thursday (20th February), she peacefully passed away, surrounded by her loved ones.
As you can imagine, this has been an incredibly difficult time for my family and me. However, I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has reached out with kind words, prayers, and love. Your support has been heartwarming, and I truly cannot express how much it has meant to me.
I took the rest of February off to process and be with family, but Iโll be back in March with sprints, which should already be scheduled on my channel. Iโm looking forward to getting back into the groove with you all. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. ๐
With gratitude,
Didi ๐ซถ๐พ

Hi friends,
I've moved my Reel Reading sprints to later in the month so I can hang out with my pal Hermie for their 1st Booktube Birthday.
Come hang out with us and eat some cake ๐

Hi friends,
Unfortunately, I have to postpone tonight's Les Mis reading sprints. As a surprise my family has decided that this weekend (starting tonight) Casa Virtues is the place to be ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฒ
I hope you all have a great weekend and are enjoying Les Mis so far, can't wait to catch up with you all and share my thoughts.
Chat soon

๐ข Year-Long Read of Les Misรฉrables ๐ข
Hello, hii ๐๐พ๐ซถ๐พ
Some of you have been wondering if Iโm still reading Les Misรฉrables, and the answer is absolutely yes! Here is the breakdown of the reading schedule:
I had hoped to start on January 1st for a true daily chapter read, but unfortunately, I had a rough start to the year so that didnโt happen, but Iโve adjusted the schedule slightly.
Starting January 25th, weโll read two chapters a day until February 17th. After that, from February 18th, weโll be back to the original pace of one chapter a day for the remainder of the year, making the rest of the year more manageable (hopefully).
To support everyone on this journey, Iโm organising:
๐ Dedicated Reading Sprints โ The first one is happening on January 28th! Come along for some focused reading time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uedqA...
๐ฑ A Book Club on StoryGraph โ Link coming soon!
๐ฌ A Discord Group โ For discussion and connection. Link to follow!
๐ Progress Tracking Spreadsheet โ For those who prefer to keep things simple and offline.
Whether you join for the entire year or dip in and out, this promises to be an amazing experience as we journey through Victor Hugoโs epic masterpiece together! ๐ฅฐ
Drop a comment if you are in and keep an eye out for the links! Letโs do this! ๐ช๐พ๐

Hi friends,
I hate cancelling sprints, especially when I was looking forward to them, unfortunately our internet connection has been going in and out all morning (no doubt due to the recent weather warning), so it's meant I've had to use my phone data as a hotspot and that doesn't make for a great solution when you want to host livestreams for a period of time. But I'll be back (fingers crossed on Thursday) with a do over.
Have a fantastic New Year

Hi friends,
Unfortunately, the pain and discomfort I've been experiencing in my arm and shoulder have worsened and as much as I hate to do it, I will have to cancel our midweek sprint to rest.
Sorry for any inconvenience this causes, I'll see you all soon for NetGalley November๐ซถ๐พ

Hi friends,
Just a quick note to say there won't be any sprints tomorrow (Monday 28th Oct.), as we have viewings at the house, but I should be back on Wednesday with mid week sprints and a regular schedule next week when we start NetGalley November.
Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend.
See you all soon ๐ซถ๐พ
