"And just as we was leavin' I found a tolerable good curry comb, and Jim he found a ratty old fiddle bow and a wooden leg. The straps was broke off it but barrin' that, it was a good enough leg."
I'm listening to this before reading James, and this has me ?
Well, I‘m behind on the tagged book, but at least I finally caught up reading Les Mis. 😅
So, what had happened was…😆
When making our reading schedule, I mistakenly consulted the table of contents for a retold/abridged version of the book, which only had 19 chapters. The actual book has 33 chapters. SO—I have adjusted the schedule accordingly! I divided the remaining number of chapters by 3 weeks, so now the pace is about 9 chapters per week instead of 5 —but it should still be really doable. ⤵️ #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMAdjacent

Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Gosh, I have not done a very good job at posting consistently. I was going through a very difficult period of life for the last several months. Doing better now, for the most part.
I hope all of my Litsy friends are well and enjoying their books ☺️ I am very much enjoying Anna Karenina so far.

I‘m having trouble keeping track of the various players & alliances in the conflict, but I‘m interested to see where things go with our travelers. I‘ve also been on edge about how this is going to go as far as racism & stereotypes.
What do you think of our main characters and of the book so far? #LMMAdjacent
