“You see, Monsieur the Cardinal, what a pity it would have been to separate persons who love one another as we do.”

I‘m finally done with this #YearOfDumas reread (thank you 2020). Not a fan of the audiobook narrator, but I enjoyed this continuation of the adventures of the four musketeers. Twenty years have scattered our heroes and divided them politically, but we get more swashbuckling adventures, a new cardinal, and a deadly new enemy! Wordy, as is most popular 19th C French literature, but I‘m a fan. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is a combination #weeklyforecast for the first week of March and my proposed #MarchTBR. I hope to reach page 168 in the tagged book for my #YearofDumas, listen to the third book in the Milo Weaver series, and at least start my #NetGalley ARC of the latest Milo Weaver book. Time permitting, I‘d also like to dive into my personal TBR challenge, with March‘s theme of spy novels. The list has just a few from my shelves. 🤓

Cinfhen What a clever idea 💡 giving your month a theme 🤓Solid plan/ best of luck ☘️💚😘 5y

bbackes @alessandrafn I can be honest here. At Instagram, I have to pretend I was forced to buy the book. To keep up appearances, you know. 💙 7y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another fun adventure. It was fun to see how relationships played out in this novel as opposed to the last one. My only real complaint is that there are too many historical figures and events to keep track of and it doesn't help that Dumas butchers them to make his characters more glorious. 😜

Was making some progress in this when I found out it's Alexandre Dumas's birthday!! He was born today in 1802.

Gezemice Nice! Love me some Dumas. Happy 215th. 🤔😊 7y

It's interesting to see that Dumas's "good" characters defend the tyranny of Charles I. I definitely was never given a sympathetic view of him in any of my history classes.

Gezemice Yeah but it is one thing not to like someone and another to cut his head off. Especially if he is a king which was kind of a semi-godly state at the time. 7y
Lylah @Gezemice I know both sides, I had to do debates a few times for it; it's definitely hard to imagine caring that much for a monarch who's doing the country some wrong from a modern viewpoint though! They defend him pretty vigorously. 7y
Gezemice @Lylah I read this a long time ago and don't remember that - I should re-read! 7y
Lylah @Gezemice definitely worth a reread! ☺️ 7y

My TBR is very light on classics but I found these. Recently re-read Musketeers and want to read the other two. #ClassicsTBR #junebookbugs

Haven't finished a book in almost a month because I've been getting ready to move and I'm only halfway through this doorstopper.

Louise I just finished my first Dumas novel. It was fantastic! 7y
Lylah @Louise this is my second (second in the Three Musketeers series) and I love his writing! I plan on reading that one too! 7y
Louise @Lylah The Three Musketeers is on my list too! 🤓 7y

Nothing's better than making progress in a big fat book.

The Three Musketeers adventures started my mini-obsession with 19th Century French literature. #numberintitle #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge

I found this beautiful book at Half Price Books for 5 dollars. It was published in the 1890s and despite smelling a bit je ne sais pas it's in wonderful condition for s gift to my mother and her love of all things Dumas!
