The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Hapgood Translation, Unabridged) | 
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

The man to whom it had belonged had therefore come there of himself and died there. When they tried to detach this skeleton from the one it embraced, it crumbled to dust.

It is three hundred forty-eight years, six months, and nineteen days ago today that the citizens of Paris were awakened by the pealing of all the bells in the triple precincts of the City, the University, and the Town.

Always fun to read a book and see how much Disney changed.
Today‘s #Bells tag for #DivineDecember brought to mind the Bells of Notre-Dame and therefore The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

#OnThisDay in 1831, Gosselin published Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris (commonly known as The Hunchback of Notre Dame). The cathedral had fallen into disrepair, and Hugo wrote a novel centering on the beautiful space in an attempt to save it. His writing sparked renewed interest in Gothic Architecture across France and led to a major restoration project for the titular cathedral. #HistoryGetsLIT
pickWill read again. Found myself skimming the essay portions to get to the plot.

Not exactly Christmasy but #Bells always makes me think of Quasimodo and the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

pickI‘ve lost track of how many puzzles this book took me. I restarted it several times before it caught. Perhaps I‘d have done better with print but I did quite enjoy the narrator so I‘m not sure what the problem was. The writing was amazing, obviously this is a classic for a reason, and it was good to finally pick this up.
pickThis book is really long. The story is good. But I think Hugo tried to use every word in the French language. It could have been a novella. And there is definitely a lack of talking gargoyles. But the goat is cute.
The picture is from a trip I took in 2018. And isn't it stunning? The people who made this didn't even have electricity. Just some random perspective.
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.
Day 121th
Join the fun if you want!

OMG, I never knew Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame were both by Victor Hugo. Three #Paris classics.

pickThe first 100 pages took me about 2 nonths to read, but i persevered. the first 100 pages and the rest of the book are like chalk and cheese. honestly if i read it again i should begin when the day of misrule is done.
I'll miss #MayCharacters (but June #CuriousCovers is just behind the corner 😃☀️)

This book is already in my tbr, but I saw the #musical two years ago in theatre.
Simply amazing ❤❤❤❤

I enjoyed Victor Hugo's writing so much that I decided to read The Hunchback of Notre Dame next. #ReadingClassicsIn2020
pick#BottomofTBR
I used to mainly read classics but this was one I didn't get around to. I'm glad I've read it now.

My 11 year old is in a "sleep at 2am wake at 11am" cycle and as she is in her parents bed, I thought I'd play my audiobook of The Hunchback of Notre Dame to help her (us) sleep. Hubby is up also so the 3 of us are listening.
I unfortunately don't own my own copy of this book but looking at the chapter lengths I roughly added up around 22 hours!
Let's see how we go...
Happy Birthday to Victor Hugo 🎂🎈🎊🎉

Tell me I‘m not crazy. Poured my coffee this morning and saw Frollo in my foam. 😂 What‘s the word for people who see faces in everything?? 🤔
I'm really enjoying this! I kinda missed using #SerialReader
I'm really enjoying this so far!

One of my reading goals is to make more use of #SerialReader and I want to read Les Mis at some point, so I'm starting with something shorter.
We had a GREAT meeting of the #2030SomethingLongReadsBookClub yesterday in #NYC 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! @BookAngelNYC was NOT a fan of this one 😆🙌🏻, nor were the others, but I liked it for the most part. 😊
I had a chicken-mozzarella-spinach-sundried tomato sub, MMMmmm 😋!
Can‘t wait to finish up my day‘s work, so that I can finish this magnificent classic while sipping hot chocolate with marshmallows 😌. I‘m as comfortable being a social extrovert as I am a secluded introvert, lol—when it comes to solitary activities, my favorites are reading and writing ☺️. What are yours?! #Musings
#BookNBrunch! Accompaniment this chilly and brighter early afternoon is: a skillet of Yukon gold potatoes with scrambled eggs and bacon and cheddar, focaccia toast, and hot tea. MMMmmm 😋! Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻
#BookBDinner!! Accompaniment this frigid and windy evening was: my stir-fry of green beans, carrots, mushrooms, and broccoli florets, in extra virgin olive oil; cucumbers, spinach, mozzarella balls, radishes, black olives, and chicken strips; and sparkling mineral water. This has been another presentation of: #MrBookKitchen. Happy reads & happy eats. 😎👌🏻
I‘ll let people decide which one of these two is the #masterpiece #movember

#BookNDinner! Accompaniment this cold and dark evening: my stir-fry in extra virgin olive oil of green beans, carrots, and mushrooms; rotisserie chicken; walnuts; onion crisps; mozzarella & parmesan cheeses; spices; and, sparkling mineral water. MMMmmm 😋! This has been another presentation of: #MrBookKitchen. Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻

#BookNDinner! Keeping it simple this cold and windy night: multi-grain scoop chips with pepperoni, Italian salami, black olives, mozzarella & parmesan & cheddar cheeses, and spices; and Vanilla Coke. MMMMmmm 😋! This has been another presentation of: #MrBookKitchen. Happy reads & happy eats. 😎👌🏻

Many comic adaptations based on famous books have been published recently. Of course, the comic will not replace the original book, but for many readers the comic will become a self-contained work and I'm sure that some will even want to read the original source or reread it 😉

#BFCr4 #week4 (I think)
Finally my check in.
NO soda - I‘ve had zero soda
Meditation - 3x this past week
No exercise
No stretching
Read about 25 books or so (mostly children‘s books)
I did finish the tagged book last week so I‘m happy about that, and it turned out pretty good. This past week and the beginning of this week has been lacking in a lot of motivation. I‘ve been super tired, and haven‘t been able to get over that hump.

I finally finished the book. It is full of monsters and tragedy.
6 points - book read and participation
#scarathlon #Teamstoker
1. Currently I‘m reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Brother.
2. Binky The Space Cat was my last 5 🌟 book and I‘ll most definitely read the rest in the series.
3. 6 adult books and 65 children‘s books so far
4. Next up for me will be I‘ll Be Gone in the Dark and The Clockmaker‘s Daughter.
#scarathlon #teamstoker #24B4Monday #readathon
My final total is 8 hours and 47 minutes. I finished 11 children‘s books, and made significant progress on The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I also started Brother. Not as good amount of time as I hoped for as I was plagued with a headache on day two.
