Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m not going to have much time to read while I‘m on vacation , but first day here I did see the tombs of Victor Hugo and Alexander Dumas in the Panthéon in Paris!
#Paris! #France ??

Made it to 20% today! #ChunksterChallenge2021

Now that is impressive...and a great light hearted way to deal.

Was considering rereading The Brick since it's been nearly eighteen years and I could read it for free. Then I remembered my TBR list and decided to wait to find a pretty edition to buy.

Day 1: most wrecked book, #crimesagainstcovers @ErinSueG found these in a library‘s for sale shed. I felt bad because I didn‘t think anyone was going to buy them and give them a home, so I did. 😂

I am wondering why I allowed the length of this book to hinder me from reading it for so long. I wish I had read it before I saw the musical... on principle I try to read most books before I watch the movie, and I guess this is similar, but the first time I saw Les Miserables the musical I was not at a time in my life where I could take time to read the book.

Thank you so much Rachael! When @ScorpioBookDreams sister was in New York she brought back this gorgeous B&N edition I‘ve been coveting ❤️📚

I‘m setting a belated New Years resolution for myself: try to read this beast in a year

One of my all-time favorite musicals 😍

"Isabeau rushed out; the thief used his legs valiantly."
Love Hugo's writing style ?❤

This cheered me up on this cold, miserable afternoon ?❤

"See the mountaineers of Devolny, a country so wild that the nightingale is not heard there once in fifty years."
Loving the descriptions ?❤

And so it begins, reading this classic together with my peculiar treasure of a friend 💙❤ #lesmisbuddyread

I know people rave on about how awesome this book is...but it depressed me so much that I was practically suicidal!

The poor man shuddered, overflowed with an angelic joy; he declared in his transport that this would last through life; he said to himself that he really had not suffered enough to deserve such radiant happiness, and he thanked God, in the depths of his soul, for having permitted that he, a miserable man, should be so loved by this innocent being.

#FunFridayPhoto high school sophomore English and Les Mis started my obsession with reading. Yes I was that one person in class that actually read the book and could answer the teacher's questions 🤓🤓.
