Les Miserables (abridged) | 
For Wednesday‘s #bookquote, I‘m sharing this quote from Les Mis. This is my favorite quote from the book and movie. I listened to the book on audio and I enjoyed it but I don‘t think that was the right format for me to read it in because I don‘t know how the book ended. I fell asleep with the audiobook playing on my phone. I‘m going to reread it physically. I watched the musical on PBS and I also watched the movie. I enjoyed them both.
1. Yes
2. Tagged I'm currently reading. Gone with the Wind, and I haven't read the books but loved the show Dexter!
Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView #two4Tuesday @Kshakal @peaknit

1️⃣ I live alone so I support my own habits & Max🐱is supportive if my reading doesn‘t get in the way of his eating!😼
2️⃣ One of my sisters & a couple of my nieces are fairly serious readers but not to the level of obsession that I have for it.📚
3️⃣ I own the tagged book, love the musical & movies & someday I WILL read it.🤩
I‘m late to the party so anybody who wants to join in, please do!

Couldn‘t wait any longer for the last book! At last @jenniferw88 your #staycationintimeswap is on the move. Hope it reaches you by opening day! But the book I‘m still waiting for was kind of the whole unifying theme, darn it! I‘ll just send it (3/3) as soon as it arrives.
Our poor USPS is the newest target of our (corrupt, IMO) administration, so that plus COVID are making for delays I‘ve never seen. I‘m really sorry. Also, thx @Chrissyreadit

BOOK 7
This book is more like poetry, it gives you one tragedy after another and underlying all this is raw human emotion of love, heartbreaks. It is filled with moments of overwhelming goodness, so touching, so beautiful.Valjean, Javert, Cosette, Marius and Fantine. I can't stress enough how exquisite this book is.I you haven't read it yet, do read it. I'll definitely re read it some time.
Starting my second #chunksterchallenge2020 book today. This one actually scares me, but it fits prompts for almost every challenge I‘m doing, so I‘m determined to finish it! The first one took 21 hours. Let‘s see how long this one takes me! @Amiable
It IS as good as you have heard, and it IS worth your time. If there is anything in your life that prevents you from reading this book, you should excise that thing in favor of reading this book
“Indeed, is not that all, and what more can be desired? A little garden to walk, and immensity to reflect upon.”

One Word : POETIC
This book is phenomenal. it is a rollercoaster of emotions, dazzling your senses but touching your heart at the same time. Everything is beautiful about this book, the themes, the characters, the writing. Jean Valjean, the central character, should be the compass for morality for everyone. This is one book that will stay with you for a really long time, one I'll recommend everyone to read.
Oh Javert!!! Such a dilemma you are in. To be kind or follow the law or do something unexpected?
1. Musical soundtracks. I absolutely love them!
2. Summer
3. It's a pretty steady mix between fantasy and thriller right now but it varies
4. I had a bagel....with cream cheese and bacon. Not a bacon person but it's actually pretty good!
5. 👍👍👍

This is what happens when you forget to book your cab from office, then you bully your your friend to come and have dinner with you, and then she makes you wait for over an hour!!!
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and
I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Has anyone started watching the Masterpiece Classics adaptation of Les Miserables? It's 6 episodes that started Sunday, and is airing on PBS. If the first episode is any indication, I think it's going to be a great series, but it definitely made me want to read the book. So, I started it on Serial Reader. I've never read a complete book on Serial Reader but I'm going to give it a try. 2 installments down, 131 to go!
Ok, so I bought this amazing scratch off poster!the big question is this... do i start from scratch and read every book or do I mark off the books I already read? No time limit or goal, just want to see how long it takes!
Last night it really hit me hard. A man I considered a good friend a few years ago committed suicide last week. He was simply an amazing person, always ready with a smile, did everything he could to make you feel good about yourself, had tons of people who loved him. My husband, though, did not love him. This man spread his charms everywhere, which included being flirtatious with every female in sight, including me, so you could see why 👇🏻👇🏻
pickThis is a collection of classics! I love these kind of books and get lost in the book & lose track of time!! Time well spent!!
pickI love long books
He was sinking; he was approaching the dark horizon. His breath had become intermittent;it was interrupted by a slight rattle. He had difficulty in moving his wrist, his feet lost all motion, and, at the same time that the distress of the limbs and the exhaustion of the body increased, all the majesty of the soul rose and displayed itself upon his forehead. The light of the unknown world was already visible in his eye.
I went to France today! But I‘m back in time for the Super Bowl. Les Miserables was excellent. It was the first show I saw on Broadway (back in high school). It‘s still my favorite!

You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.
I honestly have a huge crush on #umathurman. I don't know what it is, but if she's in it, I'll watch it (or listen to it). Especially if she starts singing or dancing. #lyricalapril @Cinfhen
