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)

READING NOTES: #MiserablesMay group read, Vol. 4
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.

Never did I ever think I'd be attempting to read "Les Misérables" again, yet here we are. I blame Emma over at The Terror of Knowing for luring me back to The Brick, which I first tried to read in 2016-17ish. It's OK, though. Reading something overwhelming like this deserves to be blogged about, and … Continue reading READING NOTES: #MiserablesMay group read, Vol. 1 (with spoilers)
