Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve reached the last hundred pages of #LesMisCAD! I‘m excited to check it off my list at the end of the month.

Anyone doing a yearlong read next year? I was considering a series like Throne of Glass or something on those lines.

I just don‘t know if I‘m ready for this…

#LesMisCAD

A little fall of rain, can hardly hurt me now…

Today was the day. (I‘ve been reading forever.)

#BookRepert #WeeklyForecast
Started Fingersmith which has me completely hooked!!
Tore through The Chaperone, a super quick YA feminist dystopia that I found satisfying
Finished our July #SundayBuddyRead, I wasn‘t that invested in seeing how it wrapped but I felt compelled to read to the end anyway…
Am trying to catch up on #LesMisCAD but am still WAY behind!
Really looking forward to starting my reread of the tagged book for Aug #SundayBuddyRead

I stubbornly remain in my funky little ‘I‘m still reading, but at a snail‘s pace‘ slump… This week I read the last chunk of Outrun The Moon & caught up on #LesMisCAD which I‘d fallen pretty far behind on. No Progress on Wollstonecraft or Dickinson so they‘ll roll over to June w the bulk of my May TBR. Next week I‘m hoping to finish The Lighthouse Witches & The Devil in the White City, but prob won‘t start anything new. #BookReport #WeeklyForecast

A further small digression, you say? Basically foreign to this book, you say?

Victor, I‘m still trying to get the image of women on their knees licking crosses on the floor out of my head. Ready to rejoin our main characters when you are, sir!

Why do I have the nagging sense that I‘ve seen a version of this somewhere? Is it quoted frequently? Did one of the Brontë sisters write a similar scene? Am I just crazy and experiencing deja vu…? #LesMisCAD @dariazeoli @MatchlessMarie

Yesterday was my first missed chapter for #LesMisCAD - I‘m impressed that I kept it up for nearly 4 months! It seems like this weekend‘s chapters were meant to be read together, anyway, so no harm done.

Learning about the nuns and their daily life was truly something. Hugo painted a picture by describing their yellow teeth and their penance while kneeling on the stone floor for hours. Sounds miserable to me!

#LesMisCAD @dariazeoli @MatchlessMarie I‘ve never experienced a chase scene in this fragmented slow motion before. It‘s really odd. I was tempted to just read straight through to the end of this section, but I got worried I‘d lose momentum on our CAD pacing that I‘m actually doing really well with! if I started messing with it. And then I started wondering why the chase is broken up into so many characters in the first place…?

I couldn‘t find a translation for the little parody included in today‘s chapter online. Are either of you reading an edition that gives the English for this? Or are any Littens fluent in French? #LesMisCAD @dariazeoli @MatchlessMarie
