I can’t wait! I haven’t so much as cracked my cover but I’m ready. (Also, NOT TO BRAG but my mom and I buddy-read a Wilkie Collins book that I bet is gonna be mentioned.) (The Moonstone.) (Look at me flexin’!)
Gah! That’s a good flex! I’ve always meant to read The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. (Hey, I guess we can blame that book for starting the woman/girl title trend.)
Dickens is mentioned in the first six chapters of this book. Maybe you’ll find out something to surprise your husband? (And if not, maybe we can make something up?)

I love this--as you know I *LOVE* this sort of thing and I am way under-read on the history of crime fiction! Thanks for doing the hard work for me. ;)
My copy arrived today and I’m so excited about the rich discussions and insights to come! Have you considered adding a Zoom format? I have no doubt many would happily pay for the privilege!
I am so excited you’re reading along, Laurie! The Zoom idea is a good one but maybe we will try this book first and see if we get participation by comments, then look ahead to a more truly interactive format (discussing other books) if there’s interest!

WILKIE!!!!
I am married to a Dickens scholar! This is my flex, and I realize has nothing to do with my own skills but it's the best I got.

Hooray! So glad you’re interested, Amy!

I am ridiculously excited about this! Everything is more fun with a self-imposed deadline and I only wish I was joking!
