Mehso-so

I read this between Oct 1 & 6 and rated it 3 ⭐️. It‘s my first time reading Verne and maybe not the best one to start with it. It is rather slow paced and a but boring. It quickly becomes apparent to the reader what is happening but Verne takes too long to come to the conclusion.

My parents' neighbors gave @BookBabe and me some books to help us grow our home's library collection. These three were included, ranging from 1876 to 1893. In addition to the tagged book, the other two are Longfellow's "Hyperion" and Martha Finley's "Elsie Dinsmore". Such fantastic additions ???????!!! #ThanksgivingVacation
