The Count of Monte-Cristo | Alexandre Dumas
post image

#hashtagbrigade In 2026, PBS proudly added The Count of Monte Cristo to its MASTERPIECE lineup. This adaptation offered audiences a fresh take on Alexandre Dumas‘ enduring classic.

Sam Claflin starred as Edmond Dantès, a young sailor whose promising life was shattered. A false accusation and wrongful imprisonment set him on a path filled with hardship and betrayal.

Aims42 Oh thank God. This was a 2025 read in my ILR bookclub that I attempted but gave up on. I will check this out!! now

Just got the latest volume of the print edition of my favorite Webtoon adaptation of the cult favorite Korean web novel, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.

TracyReadsBooks So good! Have you seen the movie? 3h
JLaurenceCohen @TracyReadsBooks no, where can I watch it?! 2h
TracyReadsBooks @JLaurenceCohen It‘s available to rent on a number of different streaming services right now—Apple, Amazon, and Viki. I think it‘s supposed to be free somewhere soon but don‘t remember where. 😬 Reviews were mixed in Korea but it‘s on my list to watch. I‘m curious to see how good/bad the adaptation is. (I should add the movie is titled Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy.) 2h

A brilliant new audiobook from a childhood classic! if you've never heard of T.A. Barron now is the time to get into his works! i LOVE this series so much. it was one of the very first books i read as a pre-teen and i have continued to enjoy his works well into my 30+ old age. this brand new audiobook blends the world with a beautiful narration, with the forward read by T.A Barron himself! A perfect new beginning to an old classic!

Hi, I‘m @AnishaInkspill, I've been here for over a year. I haven‘t always read books, I came to them, moving forward, I wanted to approach this year to get to more of the books I‘ve been wanting to read. This is how my #3BookChallenge2026 came about: #26Shorts2026, #LongReadsWorkout2026 and #LikeForLikeReads2026.

The bigger goal was to keep my reading fun, that how I created these three.⬇️

AnishaInkspill ⬆️ #26Shorts2026 is a short story challenge, to read 26 that fit a prompt with the optional of reading another 6.

#LongReadsWorkout2026 is a challenge to get to the longer books, there‘s a choice of doing a workout that reaches 500+ pages, or one that is 600+ pages, leaving the room to take that jump to read 800+ pages as optional.

#LikeForLikeReads2026 is a challenge to read books that have something in common.⬇️

AnishaInkspill ⬆️ Together these challenges are #3BookChallenge2026. If you want to be just tagged and see how these challenges play out then I can keep you updated. You‘re also more than welcome to join in one of them and do as much or little that works for you. All three challenges are on Storygraph (links below), and for #26Shorts2026, I‘ve also set up a group on LibraryThing.com.⬇️ (edited) 14h
dabbe I used this as your main link on the spreadsheet--excellent info for all 3! 😍 7h

The Rose Field: The Book of Dust | Philip Pullman, Patricia Pushlady

I am distraught. This did not work. The book is, quite simply, uncooked. Needed several more revisions with a strong editor. I don't think this book falling flat damages the His Dark Materials legacy, but I do think as HDM lives on The Book of Dust is likely to go largely unread.

It‘s hard for me to dislike Malcolm but his attraction to Lyra does make me side-eye Pullman. Untoward! Not toward!

In my fantasy world, Lee Scoresby and Iorek Byrnison are just my dads and we travel the world by balloon, leaving a trail of mayhem and mischief in true chaotic good fashion.

One of the things I love about this series is how it hits me differently each time I read it! This time around I am conflicted about the young romance but will never not be absolutely thrilled by the reveal of the Authority. As over-the-top preachy as Pullman can be, his conclusion there is brilliant satire. (Avoiding spoilers but will add in the comments.)

everlocalwest The Authority's exit being so anticlimactic is an absolutely brazen choice and I love Pullman for it! 17h
