I’ve now turned this post into the round-up post that includes all the posts on the group read of The Color Purple that have so far appeared. If others still show up, I’ll include them here. I’ll keep the post sticky for another two weeks or so and then turn it into a normal post.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the group read!
- Geoff at The Oddness of Moving Things (spoiler free)
- Fanda at Klasikfanda’s first impressions (spoiler free), a particularly memorable quote, a discussion of Celie’s character, and one of Mr ____‘s, and finally a write-up of her thoughts on the book as a whole (all including some details)
- Caroline at Beauty is a Sleeping Cat (includes some details)

You beat me to it! I planned on commenting on one of the other posts when I got in from work, but you’d already done it! I’m looking forward to reading everyone else’s reactions to the novel!

My copy arrived on the library reservations shelf yesterday and so I have only read a little, but I am already realising it is a remarkable book. thank you for inspiring me to read it again.

I’m around 40 pages from the end now, surely I will finish it this weekend, but I think I’ll post my review on 31st.

Mine won’t be written for a long while (after June), but it’s interesting to see everyone else’s thoughts!

No worries, Iris! I really look forward to your review once you get around to writing it.

Glad to hear that 🙂
I need to get my blogging mojo back, and I’m sure it’ll return at some point! But right now I have so many other things going on I just don’t have the time/energy.
