You can't blame Jules, he wasn't to know how language would change. 🤭 Maybe it wouldn't look as naughty in the original French. 🤷🏼‍♂️

We're all capable of being credulous, just less so in our own field of study.

Look at this cool version of The Secret Garden that I got from ThriftBooks!! I have also always wanted to read this adventure series of wild cats so I got the first 3 of those also.

This is one I have always wanted to read to compare to the movie but had never gotten around to until now it was fun to get to know this iconic character better. The book character is just as magical as the Mary we see in the movie but quite different otherwise. Definitely a fun book to read.

Got 1/3 of the way through on my 2nd attempt. I'm just not following her arguments. Probably my fault.

I actually finished it! It took a year & a half of reading on & off & several false starts before that, but while I couldn‘t get it to sustain my attention consistently, I really loved this when I was actually reading it! The French history plot line went over my head & I can‘t seem to follow battle scenes, but I loved how suffused this was with progressive philosophy, raw emotion, & beautiful writing. I‘d totally make this a🏝️📖pick. #doublespin

slategreyskies Wow! I‘ve heard great things about this book. So much so, I‘ve even purchased a copy of it for my Kindle, but it feels kinda overwhelming to start. I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️ 1d
IndoorDame @slategreyskies I won‘t tell you how many years I had a copy sitting on my shelf unread before I even attempted it the first time 🤣 1d
TheBookHippie @slategreyskies @IndoorDame I read a chapter a day in 2020. It was my saving grace. One of my top ten favorite books of all time. I still have the print out if you want a copy @slategreyskies 😅😂🤣 1d

Ruthiella Well done! 👏👏👏 The actual story was good but all the digressions were very hard personally for me to get through! 😅 1d
dabbe Bravo! 🤩🤩🤩 1d
IndoorDame @TheBookHippie I can imagine! 2020 was a lot like a 🏝️ 1d
IndoorDame @dabbe thanks! You finishing War and Peace was a huge inspiration for me to pick this up again in Jan. (That will not be my next intimidating book though. I need a break from scary Russian lit!) 1d
slategreyskies @IndoorDame I get that. I‘m not sure when I first purchased a copy, but this one gives me the side eye every time I purchase yet another chunkster when I haven‘t even started reading this one yet. 🤣 1d
slategreyskies @TheBookHippie I remembered how much you loved it, and I almost tagged you when I saw this post! 🤣 what sort of print out do you have? Is it notes or something? I already have a Kindle version of it, but I don‘t have a hard copy or notes yet. 1d
TheBookHippie @slategreyskies it‘s the daily reading schedule broken down 365 chapters - 365 days I did take extensive notes 😳🤭 I posted monthly summations as well on my blog that is essentially just for me. 😂😂😂😂 1d
wanderinglynn Congrats! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🥂 That‘s an accomplishment. This book continues to sit on my TBR shelf. 😆 1d
slategreyskies @TheBookHippie I‘m not sure if I need the print out or not, but just out of curiosity, do you have a favorite translation/translator? I have the Christine Donougher translation. It looks good, I think. 1d
curiouserandcurioser @IndoorDame great accomplishment!! My daughter and I are in the midst of this and though it is taking us awhile, we both LOVE it:) 1d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fantastic accomplishment!!!! 1d
