Les Miserables: (penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) | Victor Hugo

I rarely annotate my books and yet here I am, busting out the flags for my #readlesmis read-a-long. My vacation had me fall behind but I should be caught up by the end of the day. I am finding it fascinating how relevant this book continues to be, and how despite its size, it is immensely readable.

tpixie Yes! The translation is so readable & good! I was afraid that would be a struggle, but it‘s not. I have this edition also- it‘s so beautiful! 🤩 8h

dabbe 💙❣️💙 6h

BookBr Maybe I should try this translation — the one I have is not so readable! 3h

Gleefulreader @bookbr it is a fantastic translation. Highly recommend! 3h

Ok this is my 1st time posting while I #ReadLesMis — please tell me I‘m not the only one feeling this way reading today‘s chapter! 😤 People are so cruel and despicable. Poor Fantine.

TheBookHippie People are unbelievably cruel. I saw it often being a volunteer doula for teens for 28 years. 2w

lil1inblue Fantine broke my heart in the musical - I Dreamed a Dream made my heart ache. Her story in the book is so much more devastating. 💔 2w

tpixie Yes! Poor Fantine! 🥹🥺😢 2w

Deblovestoread Today's chapter was hard. Just heartbreaking. 💔 2w

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Yea. That had me all in the feels 2w

JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie @lil1inblue @Cuilin @tpixie @Deblovestoread @DrSabrinaMoldenReads glad I‘m not alone! I really know nothing about this story other than the names of the main characters (saw the first 20 minutes of the movie 😳), so I‘m really looking forward to reading the rest of this. I read 5 extra chapters today 😬. Poor Fantine. The tooth thing makes me irrationally angry 😤 2w

TheBookHippie @JenlovesJT47 it‘s so unbearably sad. 2w

DrSabrinaMoldenReads There are heartwarming events to come. That‘s what I have begun to love about the book. Capturing life's complexities @tpixie @TheBookHippie @Cuilin @dabbe @Deblovestoread (edited) 2w

JenlovesJT47 @DrSabrinaMoldenReads yay I‘m glad to hear it! 🤗 2w

TheBookHippie @DrSabrinaMoldenReads I so agree. 2w

tpixie @JenlovesJT47 the teeth scene was so tragic @DrSabrinaMoldenReads 4d

JenlovesJT47 @tpixie it made me legit very angry. Kept telling myself it‘s just a book! 😌 4d

tpixie @JenlovesJT47 yes!!!! 4d
