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! 🇫🇷💙🤍❤️ 🇫🇷

Book review catch-up post 2 of 5:

This wasn't for me. As I said in one of our #kindredspiritsbuddyread discussions, it's a lot of wandering around in the woods occasionally interrupted by horrible violence. The "bad Indians" were bad because they were of a savage tribe, while the "good Indians" were held to a higher standard than the whites in both ethics and competency. The ending was a shocking disappointment.

I finally read this! Alright, it took me the better part of the month because I opted to read it in bits. The cadence in communication between characters (also the paragraphing) exhausted me just a bit, and I really wanted to appreciate the writing so I was best served by picking this up from my nightstand for limited amounts reading.

Andrew65 Whenever I see the Hunchback I can‘t help but that line, ‘It‘s Esmeralda, she says she loves me‘. Still got my Hunchback cup that was bought for me when the Disney film came out in 1996. 29 years and still going strong! 1d
tpixie @Andrew65 what a great quote and fun cup!!! 3h

Thought I would go a little controversial today with some of my #Divisive books that people seem to either love or hate and I am firmly on the hate side for these 😝
