Agnes Grey Read-Along & Giveaway Sign-up

I’m so very excited to be hosting my first read-along. For the last Classics Club spin, a number of us all placed Anne Bronte’s classic, Agnes Grey, on the same position on our lists and crossed our fingers that it would be selected. It wasn’t, but I kept thinking that I would love to read Agnes with those lovely bloggers, and hence, a read-along was proposed.

We will be reading Agnes Grey during the month of February, and I will be hosting a weekly summary post with my own thoughts and impressions of the novel. I have never read Agnes Grey, or any of Anne’s writing before, so you will have to forgive my uneducated opinions.

So I’m inviting everyone and anyone to join in – read Agnes Grey in February! The following is the schedule – but feel free to be involved in all or none of these milestones, this is a VERY low stress group read.

I will most likely be tweeting general impressions (spoiler free) on twitter as I read. I will use the hashtag #AggieGrey if you wish to join in the conversation!
