The author put this quote both in her novel and in her acknowledgments. It hit me hard each time I read it. A great description of my current understanding of the world.

Leftcoastzen Wow,I‘m feeling it . 2d

#5JoysFriday @debinhawaii

1. After what was to me one of the worst days in American history this past Monday, the sun did come out the next day. And the next... If you want to hear the best rendition of this song that I have ever heard in my entire life, here's the link:

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe I've only read two of them, but both times they helped when I was feeling unsettled. It's nice to read uplifting words of people in similar situations and know you're not the only one. 🩵🩵 7d
dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau #truth Some could get a bit preachy (I'm not very religious), but I loved most of them. Plus, they usually were short, sweet, and made me feel better! 🩶🖤🩶 7d

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

This retired English teacher's score sucked! 😂 Though the 17 books I did read were not from childhood but from my years teaching middle school. My 3 choices are for the following reasons:
JOHNNY TREMAIN: #love
OUT OF THE DUST: #lovetoinfinity--in my top 5 list of fave books of all time!
CHARLOTTE'S WEB: Only an Honor winner? #wtf?

Here's the link if you haven't played yet: https://shorturl.at/kosig

Texreader I only read 3 2w
dabbe @Texreader If I hadn't taught middle school, I would have read 0! You're in good company; most of us scored less than 20. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 2w
Texreader @dabbe I do have some on my bookshelves I hope to read someday. 2w

Texreader @dabbe What subject did you teach? 2w
dabbe @Texreader English! So you'd think I would have read more of these! I mostly taught high school, though, so zero Newbery winners for that age group! 🤩😂😘🤩 2w
dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Ya kicked my retired-English-teacher butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🖤🩶 2w
dabbe @Texreader Same here. Plus I want to reread JOHNNY TREMAIN again. I have my original teacher copy with all of my notes in it--same for OUT OF THE DUST. 2w
curiouserandcurioser It was fun to play:) 2w
dabbe @curiouserandcurioser Yay! I love taking polls! 🤩😂🤗 2w
DogMomIrene I got 17 too😂 A mix from my childhood & teaching years. That committee, though. Sometimes they pick books that may be all fancy pants literary, but good luck enticing a child to read it. 1w

Succumbed and on New Year‘s Day decided to join the Buddy Read of Les Miserables. #ReadLesMes. Let‘s hope I don‘t regret joking this year long Buddy Read. 😳

Read the first bit in the early hours so think I‘ve met the first 3 or 4 characters. We possible need a link to the characters as they are introduced, so we can keep them right.

What I find strange is how it says he was Bishop of D______. I wonder why he did it like this.

@thebookhippie

Cuilin Oh interesting, what edition are you reading? Mine said Digne. 4w

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Thanks, we‘ve already met Napoleons but by the look of it the only real focus is on those three characters in the initial section. 4w
Andrew65 @Cuilin I have got 3 copies, two e-books from different libraries and one on serial reader to check that. 😂. They all had D______. They also said he was Curé of B______ previously, but in that case did have Brignolles in brackets. @TheBookHippie (edited) 4w
TheBookHippie @Cuilin mine says The bishop of Digne. (M. Myriel) 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 @Cuilin now must go pull other editions and look 👀 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Strange how all 3 of mine didn‘t mention Digne, I wonder if that is the English as opposed to the American versions. Very strange. Thanks to you and @Cuilin for sharing. 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I‘ve set you off on a treasure hunt now! 😂 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 @Cuilin still considering buying the signet edition of this- as the editions were so helpful in reading Shakespeare and I‘ve read this before & love it , but 5 years past I‘m a bit rusty 🤣https://a.co/d/0M6iQIc I do love my penguin deluxe classic, I have two very old copies and two fancy pants copies as well..👀🤣🙃🇫🇷 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie @Cuilin Vive la différence 4w
Librarybelle Interesting…mine also says Digne! @TheBookHippie @Cuilin @Andrew65 4w
Andrew65 @Librarybelle How strange, it must be the versions for England, but one of them is from the Serial Reader App. I feel left out 😂🤷‍♂️

Also found this link for the characters L

Ruthiella You can do it! Reading these super long books with a group is so helpful, IMO. Just have patience for the seemingly interminable parts about the Battle of Waterloo, French religious orders and the Paris sewer system, etc. 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 okay I‘ve got 4 of 5 say D_______ all the older ones & my fancy leather Barnes & Noble one and Penguin Deluxe says Digne!! @Librarybelle @Cuilin (edited) 4w
TheBookHippie @Ruthiella HA AGREED!!!! 4w
Andrew65 @Ruthiella Thanks, I look forward to finding out all about the Paris sewers 😂🤷‍♂️

You are right, it is much better to read it in groups.

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie So I need a posh version 😂 Already class and money comes into Les Miserables. #IAmNotWorthy 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣spatting coffee across room just now… (edited) 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie That didn‘t take long 😂 At least it‘s not the book! 4w
Cuilin @Andrew65 @TheBookHippie I‘m reading the Signet edition. So far it‘s good but the print is small. 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 wait til the sewers… or the religion… could happen 🤣😅🫠 4w
TheBookHippie @Cuilin That was my fear, tiny print. 4w
Cuilin @Andrew65 I‘ve seen Signet editions in charity shops!!! Vive les friperies! (Thrift stores) 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie If you download the serial reader app it sends a section through each day and nice size font. 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 ooooo. Nice! Thanks! 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie We need an accurate recording of the time and date when this happens! Waiting……………………….. 🤣 4w
Cuilin @TheBookHippie You also have to break the spine so you can hold it. I may have to mix it up with an audiobook and an e-book. 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I remember clearly arguing with this book can‘t wait to revisit. Will have to have recording! 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Day one section sent through Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. Today‘s section sent through Chapter 3 and 4. It‘s good for reading books (older books that are free) in small bite size pieces. 4w
TheBookHippie @Cuilin oh yeah, my penguin I had to break the spine or it happened naturally. It‘s fairly beat up from my year with it. I do love it so. It kept me sane in 2020. 4w
Andrew65 @Cuilin A book this size as a physical book gets to the point where it could hurt your hands and wrists. 4w
TheBookHippie @Andrew65 I‘m going to use it as an option for sure. I feel we‘re all in school helping each other with homework! 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie We need to set up the @thebookhippie virtual cam! 🤣 4w
Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Think we will definitely need to help each other. 🤣 4w
