pickI‘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. 🤓
I can't believe that I finally have this!
All the love to @alessandrafn , who made me buy this beauty 💙

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
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.
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.
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!
so-so
