1 confession:
I've never read Shakespeare for my own pleasure, only for school. I'd like to change that.
Completed the Chunkster level for #ChunksterChallenge2025. I‘d give it a pick because it is a story well told (and well translated, if you get the P+V version). I wouldn‘t say it‘s the “greatest novel of all time,” as some reviews call it. It does provide an interesting historical context of its time. And now I can finally check it off my list. ✔️

So that‘s it???? That was “the dream” in I Dreamed a Dream, sitting around with “frat” boys who talked absolute bollocks? Oh Fantine. Sacrebleu!!!!

Another thing I got from my indie bookstore shopping. The cards are gorgeous. I also think it's ingenious to have them be dual purpose.
As I already mentioned - unexpected, flowery language. YAY!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Well, I just completed Fantine. I have no words and found myself filled with the conflicting emotions which were expressed throughout this section. So, I‘m continuing to read, I loved its message and conveyance of thoughts, feelings and difficult life events that are commonly experienced but we seldom discuss. #ReadLesMis
