A weight has been lifted from my shoulders, because I. am. FINISHED. With. Les. Misérables! I completed my reading of The Brick just after midnight on Tuesday. I had finished Volume 4 just hours before and written some scant thoughts on it (which you can see here; there's also posts on Volumes 1, 2 and … Continue reading READING NOTES: #MiserablesMay group read, Vol. 5 (with spoilers)
Yes, yes. I know. We're now 1/3 of the way into June, and here I am just finishing up Volume 4 of Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables" for a May group read. Emma at the Terror of Knowing and Liz at Travel in Retrospect, who hosted #MiserablesMay, have been nothing but understanding about the fact that … Continue reading READING NOTES: #MiserablesMay group read, Vol. 4

Reading something overwhelming like this deserves to be blogged about, and … Continue reading READING NOTES: #MiserablesMay group read, Vol. 1 (with spoilers)

Due to some nasty weather, we weren't able to celebrate with a return trip to the diner and movie theater where it all began, but hopefully we can recreate our first date, as … Continue reading Reading Notes: “Little Women”
Happy Friday to one and all! Today's post is something a bit new and different for That Book Lady Blog - my first installment of "Reading Notes."

I'll try to avoid spoilers when I can, but if I … Continue reading Reading Notes: “Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk”
