pickWhen I read this part, I became a wee bit teary eyed. It took me by surprise, but attests to the power of this classic tale. Thank you @KVanRead for organizing the #christmascarolbuddyread and encouraging me to read this beloved book! #ididit

Here's my review of A Christmas Carol. I loved it! I loved it so much more than l expected!
And it gave me such respect for Dickens. I learned a few things about him as a man thanks to @KVanRead beautiful posts, discovering quite an awesome human being beyond the author.

I got a new #SerialReader badge on ChristmasEve when I finished the #ChristmasCarolBuddyRead 😊 I had no idea Mary Shelley wrote 7 novels. Has anyone read any other than Frankenstein?
