Cuilin That ending was a bit underwhelming. I would also give it a soft pick as a novel, but the amateur historian in me #FullSend I‘m definitely gonna check out the TV series. 1w

mcctrish I am happy to be out of this #underwhelmedonallcounts what happened to Laura? Not even flora cares 1w

Ruthiella I really liked this book a lot! I didn‘t mind that it was slow and plotless. 😆😍 1w

Bookwormjillk I think this would probably be a better TV show. Was afraid to watch before I finished so I wouldn‘t spoil the ending…but there was no ending? Anyway I would read the phone book with you all so I still enjoyed it for all my complaining. 1w

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk @cuilin The TV show is great. I‘m still working on the book. Like @Ruthiella I don‘t mind the lack of plot, but I‘m marveling at how they made a series out of this. (edited) 1w

Bookwormjillk Also Miss Lane gives Misery vibes and I would have liked to hear more about that. #ImYourBiggestFan 1w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk omg she 💯 does! 🤣🤣🤣 1w

willaful Also a soft pick for me.

I was just reading some of Flora's history... not only did her favorite brother die in WWI but her son died in WWII. 😭 It was a hard time to be alive. 1w

Deblovestoread Glad to have read it chp a day. I don't think i would have finished otherwise. I would have liked an epilog with how the rest of Laura's life went. I loved the show and am looking forward to a re-watch starting tonight. 1w

KAO I really did enjoy this—though I would not likely have made it through without the daily accountability and all of your comments! Thank you! I just started watching episode 1 of season 1 of the 2008 series from PBS—and I can completely understand your frustration if you had seen the series before reading the book! So much drama in episode 1 already! Whoever wrote the script had modern audiences in mind, I‘m sure. 1w

TheAromaofBooks I did like this but I do wish some of it had been a bit more focused on Laura, as those were my favorite parts. But it was all very interesting - although I'm not sure I would have finished if it wasn't for this group!!! 1w

dabbe We got the most detailed explanations for pretty much every single thing in Lark Rise and Candleford--plus extreme details for every little thing Laura did, every flower she saw, every game she played, ... yet we don't know why she just up and leaves? #wth? The ending made me go 🤯!!! 1w

Bklover I actually enjoyed this somewhat, and I‘m glad we read it. Particularly enjoyed reading it with the #hashtagbrigade ! However I will admit that the idea of watching the show now is painful! 😂 1w

#ReadLesMis @TheBookHippie

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!!!!

DrSabrinaMoldenReads My translation is very different. 1w

Cuilin @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I was just sad for Fantine. The way the boys ‘surprise‘ abandoned the girls was appalling. 1w

dabbe And Tholomyes is described as “badly preserved ... wrinkled, toothless ... beginning to show signs of baldness,“ and in which he claims about himself, “Cock-of-the-walk at thirty, coot at forty.“ #wth? 1w

Cuilin @dabbe yes!! Hugo tells us “20 years later he was a fat, provincial attorney, rich and influential”, but “always a man of pleasure” For all his philosophical talk he knew he was going to abandon her!! 1w

dabbe @Cuilin And it looks like the other girls totally got the joke and moved on, but of course the innocent Fantine, who gave herself for the man she truly believed she loved, is the only one to get pregnant. Truly #lesmis. 1w

DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Cuilin It gets a lot worse. That was a light event 1w

DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Cuilin I was truly into my feelings by the end of that section 1w

Cuilin @DrSabrinaMoldenReads You‘re right, I‘m bracing myself. It‘s so different reading it than seeing it in a theater or on screen. For some reason, I thought Fantine would get more of a love story before the abandonment and single motherhood and having to leave Cosette. I‘ll have to steel myself. 1w

DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Cuilin Certainly no love story 🥺 1w

The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House | Melissa Anderson

My policy is never to pan a memoir/autobiography, but this is just a synopsis of select Little House episodes. #WTH I loved Alison Arngrim‘s book, and was motivated to read books by other actors is the series. I probably should have bailed 😶1/5🦨s
