I was lucky enough to see the musical on Broadway in the early 80s. From that point on, I always aspired to read it. Tried two times and failed miserably ... until the #readlesmis group and @TheBookHippie. As much as I adored the musical, the book, of course, is better. I snot-nosed cried my way through to the end. 💙🇫🇷♥️
One year to finish.
No words can do it justice--
Except “Vive la France!“
Karisa That‘s awesome! The term “chunkster” doesn‘t do this one justice! 🎉 23h

Chrissyreadit Why hello gorgeous reading woman!!!! 😘 Also I LOVED this book so much all three of my brothers read it- and I saw it on broadway in 87 I think…. And still listen to the cast recording…. 8h
dabbe @Chrissyreadit Another thing we have in common! I listen to the original soundtrack all the time. In fact, while reading, the songs that fit a certain section in the book would automatically pop into my head, which made it even more enjoyable! #gorgeousyourself ♥️💙💚 8h
Chrissyreadit Nice!!! I love when people read and love the book- but even better to have a soundtrack! 8h
tpixie @Chrissyreadit what fun memories!!! 💙🤍❤️ 3h
Texreader You know what‘s the best? The fact that we all know what a big deal this is!!! ♥️ Littens!! 3h
tpixie @JenlovesJT47 I was doing so great but really fell behind this year with having to take care of grandkids & a few vacations. I‘ve really enjoyed this book & I‘ve really loved the Buddy Read. So I will continue to plug away & finish it next year. One of my first retirement goals!!! I knew it would be a stretch with work & family, so I‘m trying not to punish myself too much!!! Love to @dabbe @TheBookHippie and all #ReadLesMis buddies💙🤍❤️ 3h
TheBookHippie @tpixie you can do it!!! Keep tagging us we are here for you!!! 2h
Chrissyreadit @tpixie It was my very first broadway play! my best friend and her sisters took me for my 16th birthday and it was the start of an obsession with theatre ❤️ How are you? Also do you like the book? 38m
azulaco I had to read this in high school, and I‘ll be honest: I don‘t know if I would have made it all the way through if we had not been basically group-reading it chapter by chapter and discussing 1-2 chapters daily. Kudos for doing it on your own! now
tpixie @Chrissyreadit that‘s such a cool gift! Experience! I‘m loving the book! Doing great Hope you are doing well!! now
tpixie @TheBookHippie thanks! I will! now
