#300kBirthdayGiveaway
Thanks for the chance to win. 1/13 is my actual birthday!!
I‘m grateful that I‘ve gotten to work online all through the pandemic. My (virtual) teaching job is starting up for the year again tomorrow, which is exciting and also stressful! #gratitude @Eggs
1) I do! My current read, Herbert's The Rats is considered a horror classic. Several of my favorites are classics: Confederacy of Dunces, If Beale Street Could Talk, Northanger Abbey, Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Wuthering Heights etc.
2) The tagged book.

So I read 300 pages of this and decided to take a break and read something else. I‘m glad I did because now I seem to be reading it faster. My goal is to have it done by the end of the year if not sooner. 28 1/2 pages a day will keep me at that goal. As of now I am ahead of schedule.

About to start this. It is a reread for me but the first time reading my copy. #reread
OK so I‘ve gotten some new books the past couple months … Illumicrate not included. I‘ve already read half & look forward to reading the others soon!
What new books have you gotten lately? Yes I‘m always looking for recommendations and love to see book hauls!!

What a jerk-off that crazy cousin of hers is. I can‘t stand his pernicious manner. But, of course, what a great villain!

Several chapters into my abridged edition of the Count, I started feeling like I‘m really missing major parts of the story. My version is half the unabridged version; how can I not read half of any book in its original form? I just can‘t say I‘ve read this book if I‘m reading an abridged version lol. Is that crazy? The library has this lovely Word Cloud edition and I‘m in love with it!! (All 1,000+ pages)

1. Any book that I could easily use as a doorstopper (I would never, though). The tagged book is a chunkster in my opinion, but I‘m also reading an abridged version so I imagine the unabridged version is very much a chunkster
2. Depends on the quality of the narration and the book. I‘ve found that an excellent audiobook performance can make the drudgiest reading experience much more palatable
@TheSpineView
This book is so much more accessible than I thought!! I‘m enjoying it

I've now lost count of how many times I have read this classic story of revenge, intrigue, cleverness, brutality, and hubris.

All brilliant stories!

pickA great rendition of this classic. And the artwork is absolutely beautiful. I'm looking forward to more from the Manga Classics series.
This is a really cool thing that this Manga Classics series includes. I just thought that I would share it with you all in case you ever wanted to read manga but maybe don't know how 😊
pickLoooooved this book! So glad it was my first read of the year ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The art was fantastic and I loved the renditions of the characters 😍.
It has whetted my appetite for the unabridged version.
Moving my way slowly through my big summer read. It‘s adorably over the top. So glad I decided to tackle it.
pickAnother great manga adaptation! Loved it!
Rating: 5🌟
📖 Tagged—it‘s one of my favorites!

so-soThe artwork was excellent but the adaption was kind of confusing. I haven't read the original so I thought this would be a great first read. Unfortunately I found myself lost so many times! I suppose this would be good for someone that's alredy read the book but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that hasn't had a crash course on the classics. 🙄
pickThe actual novel is rather long, so I was impressed with how it translated to the manga version. By necessity, many things were simplified. I don't feel much, if anything, was lost from the story though. A section at the end of the book discusses the artists‘ choices in what to focus on and how, in order to pack the greatest amount of story into the manga version. Loved the artwork!
No work for me today.. I got a bad cold and I'm feeling like I'm 100years old 😧
I'm going to enjoy some hot tea and this edition of Dumas' novel (my first manga ever!!!) found on #Netgalley
