This is a bit of a daunting one! The lovely Fay over at Blog a Book Etc is co-hosting an Anna Karenina read along and I’ve decided to take part!
I’ve always been daunted by Russian literature having attempted both Crime and Punishment and War and Peace in the past and not taken to them at all. But with the fact that the film is coming out (I hate watching films of books I haven’t read!) and the fact that I like a challenge I’m going to give this one a go.
I’m going away for ten days so I’m hoping the plane journey and a bit of beach reading will help me get through this one. You never know I might even enjoy the book!
If you’d like to take part you can link up here and join the Goodreads discussion page here.
