For July, I’ve chosen The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
I’m posting the reading schedule (which will help you get through the novel on time). Below is the starting video for this read-a-long. At the end of the month (around August 28th), I’ll post a closing video with my thoughts so we can have a discussion of what we thought about the book! During the reading I’m going to open a Glassboard forum to discuss the book. If you would like to be able to access the forum, please let me know here. This will be a place where we can keep the discussion going throughout the month. You can access this forum through your computer or through the free smartphone app. (Please make sure to sign up with Glassboard with the same e-mail address you give me on the sign up form.) Glassboard is very easy to get the hang of, don’t let it discourage you from participating in the read-a-long or discussion! And don’t hesitate to ask me any questions in the comments section below!
Reading Schedule
This book is 200 pages, which means we’ll read 50 pages per week/ about 7 pages per day.
Week One: Stop at Chapter Six
Week Two: Stop at Chapter Eleven
Week Three: Stop at Chapter Fifteen
Week Four: Read till the end.
Any questions? Feel free to ask below!

Sounds interesting. I will try to participate in the read-along. Once I finish the book, I will post a review, link back to this post, and mention and review in the comments of this post.
I’m in! This one has been on my radar for quite awhile.
I’ve been meaning to read this one for a long time, and in fact have owned it for a few years now. This is the perfect way to finally get around to it!
I’m in!
ahah, nice to know you in person Wallace, nice video!
I’m going to join this; I’ve always wanted to read The Bell Jar based on how profound the subject matter is, and I feel like I will kick myself if I don’t!
Hi all! So glad you’re joining! I’ve invited you to the Glassboard discussion, so check the e-mail addresses that you’ve signed up with (you will have directions there). Let me know if you have any questions.
Others – feel free to keep signing up if you want to!
I’m in!!
I’d love to join in! I’ve read The Bell Jar once before and loved it! Generally once I’ve read something I don’t read it again (at least for a good chunk of time) because my TBR list is so long. I love the reading schedule though. It’ll be very easy to fit it in between the other books I’m reading. It will be interesting to see what else I pick up from the book after a second read.
I thought I’d already commented that I’m in, but guess I didn’t. I’ve been wanting to read this for a long time.
