I do understand! I was casually listening to my audiobook today when this line caught my attention. I had to find the passage in Serial Reader and share. I never would have caught this allusion without the experience of reading #Clarissa.

#Wondrouswednesday Thanks for tag @Eggs @TheSpineView ! I was out of town Wednesday so a day late.
1) I ❤️ history so it‘s hard to go wrong with most any time period
2) Starter Villain ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
3) Tagged, 7th longest book in English according to:

“Fashionably late” to the party—thanks for the tag, @GinaKButler !
1. I have an affinity for the Revolutionary War-era and early America.
2. First read of 2024 was a biography of P.T. Barnum
3. I‘ve read most of the biggies: War and Peace, Les Mis, A Suitable Boy. But I think “Clarissa,” which I read last year with the esteemed #Clarissa group, beats them all at circa 1,800 pages.

2023 was an interesting reading year. #Clarissa was the longest book and greatest challenge of the year, and Don Quixote was plenty long as well. I don‘t really do simply favorites, instead also considering the books that I think will be the most memorable. As of this moment, these are those books of 2023 for me.
#ReadingStats #2023stats #DaiseysReadingSummary
I completed 45 books from the #1001books list this year for an updated total of 253 out of 1,318!
A few were rereads but from long enough ago that I didn‘t have dates in Goodreads. As usual, there were books I just pushed through to finish as well as fantastic reads.
Several were read for the #Reading1001 group, including 13 for #TBRTakedown. Many others were read with or for various readalong groups and challenges listed in the comments.
