The Count of Monte Cristo | Alexander Dumas

“Who knows if we‘ll ever see them again?” said Maximilien.
“My darling,” said Valentine, “the count just told us that all human wisdom was contained in these two words: Wait and hope.”

Nutcracker and Mouse King and the Tale of the Nutcracker | Alexandre Dumas, E T a Hoffmann

At the hour, Marie is still queen of the gorgeous kingdom, where we see brilliant Christmas Forests everywhere, rivers of orangeade, orgeat, and attar of roses, diaphanous palaces of sugar finer than snow and more transparent than ice. And finally, all kinds of magnificent and miraculous things—provided your eyes are sharp enough to see them.

This was an excellent read. It took me a while to finish reading it, but it was worth it. It was so exciting and the ending was truly great. I‘m so glad that I finally got to read it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Corsican Brothers | Alexandre Dumas

so-so

Yeah, I'm a bit meh on this Dumas book. I'm reading it for Twitch for Black History Month (Canada) because it's one of his shortest works. The trouble with this book is that it's a slow burn, with 13 long chapters of build up to all the action in the last 7 chapters. It's hard to get invested in the tragedy of Lucien and Louis. My viewers are enjoying it, surprisingly enough. It's the forgotten basis for a pile of SFF stories, too.

Faranae Also, I'm deeply regretting the accent I gave Lucien for reading aloud. I was tired and what I pulled out for his apparently strong Corsican accent (not given an eye dialect, but mentioned), was some sort of unholy merging of my Francophone aunt's manner and accent, and a vaguely Italian accent. It's become extremely hard to maintain over multiple streams and I kind of hate it. Fortunately, there's a couple Librivox recordings to choose from. 😅 9mo

willaful I would never be able to get through this without incessant quoting from “Start the Revolution Without Me.“ 😂 9mo

Faranae @willaful Better than the Cheech and Chong film. 😂 9mo
