I read Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies years ago when they were first released. I've never read The Mirror & The Light because I felt I needed a reread of the first two. Finding Wolf Crawl is a sign from the universe that it's time. Thank you!
So excited! I love the first and last lines in this schedule: "So now get up ... tracking the light on the wall." This is my introduction to Hilary Mantel, and I'm looking forward to reading all the words in between under your brilliant guidance, Simon.
Because life intervened & I couldn’t keep up with my reading of these books I so dearly love, I am thrilled that you are offering the SLO Read again. You are an indeed a treasure, dear Simon.
2025 is THE year! I am looking forward to it!
Yes! You won't believe how much time I've spent making the material for this readalong. So I need another year (at least) to finish it off!
Just reading the start/finish lines here remind us that Mantel is the GOAT
Without a doubt.
Read Mantels first book! Loved it but will definitely read the guide
Great! Definitely recommend joining for books 2 and 3 as well – slow reading them is really something else.

Perfect! I'd definitely say they benefit from being read together like this. I hope you enjoy!
I had already decided to read Wolf Hall in the New Year so I was excited to stumble across this! Looking forward to it.

Best opening and closing scenes ever. You are in for such a ride!

Thanks Kathy! It's going to give me an opportunity to clean up all the posts and add bits I missed. The guides will only get better!
My God this is what my dreams are made of!
Your dreams sound like my dreams!
