I‘m behind on my reading (April 13) since I‘ve been traveling on the weekends, so maybe I can get a little reading in at work! I‘m so thankful that Cossette is with Jean Valjean! 🇫🇷💙🤍❤️ 🇫🇷

My favorite song from LES MIS. If you've not heard it, here's a link:

After making it through the Battle of Waterloo (which tested my patience and nearly had me yelling MERDE on more than one occasion), I am back with Jean Valjean and eager to catch up with the schedule. #readlesmis

Flowers and coins for Victor Hugo. He shares a tomb with Alexandre Dumas and Emile Zola, but nobody‘d left anything for them as of early this afternoon. 😔 Hopefully they also receive cool presents and the Pantheon staff just clear them away periodically.

I‘m just gonna leave this right here. It is of course from Les Miserable by Victor Hugo!!!

@DieAReader pg 286 gives a description of the areas as an ‘A‘ I drew a too small picture of that in my book, then tried to screenshot the google map. Not the greatest but it helped… 🤭😀🤣🤪😝

I found this to be very informative and helpful. Wanted to share with my Book Buddies and all. https://youtu.be/ODZAUstSKJg?si=dVBilX47okU3yG5H #READLESMIS #buddyreads

Bandette reading with me while I read Les Misérables. She brings me comfort while reading about poor Fantine. ❣️????❤️ ?? ❣️

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.

Oh my! After the courtroom scene, how am I to wait for tomorrow to continue reading?!
What a compelling book this is turning out to be!!
#READLESMIS #BuddyRead

Bandette is happy I‘m back home so we can catch up on Les Misérables!!
I hope to catch up this weekend and then go through all the previous posts!!

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.

“The cruel of heart have their own black happiness.”

Yes, yes they do. Life has not changed Mr. Hugo. #ReadLesMis

I resonated with this…Time seems to have started to move faster. I need some way to slow it down. #ReadLesMis

1) Baked a Maple Pecan cake yesterday…sometimes you just NEED cake
2) Pippin‘s favorite toy is monkey man which is almost as big as he is
3) I am loving Les Mis chapter a day
4) After surviving reading Lark Rise to Candleford, rewatching the series on BritBox makes it all worthwhile
5) We haven‘t had much snow but I‘ve loved watching it fall.

Share your joys! It helps combat the barrage of daily 💩 we get.

@DebinHawaii

Oh, my heart goes out to Fantine!
Running behind- nursing my sister in KC after cataract surgery, now in Dodge City helping my daughter with her 5th child 🩷 Little Hazel Anne. Will keep reading as I can! I‘ll eventually catch up!

It‘s interesting that the French novels, Les Miserables and The Count of Monte Cristo have several elements in common. #ReadLesMis

Well, I just completed Fantine. I have no words and found myself filled with the conflicting emotions which were expressed throughout this section. So, I‘m continuing to read, I loved its message and conveyance of thoughts, feelings and difficult life events that are commonly experienced but we seldom discuss. #ReadLesMis
