Yes, wasn't it just. And when JV is approached by Thenardier, the banter, the tension - nice. I read this earlier this year but this scene is still very vivid.

For neatness, it was getting seriously messy here, and to strip out duplications of same book in different messages I have revised message 2-8.

I know we're about 10 weeks in but I have a much clearer idea of my reading adventure, so I've revised message 1.

This I'm hoping will make it easier to keep trek and update, I guess time will tell right

:)

Oh yeah it will be that, eeeks.

I've tried to line up a variety and I think some will be a bigger adventure than others

Did I say eeeks? ... eeeeks!! :)

Absolutely, otherwise reading stops being fun, isn't that the whole point of reading?

Good Luck for 2019

Smart - I thought I had listed all mine then realised I'd forgotten to add a stack - oops and to amend later.

Enjoy your reading.

Now that' a challenge. I tell you, who needs to do anything aerobic when you have heavy books to read :)

Good Luck!!!!

Thanks Rosemarie.

I've had a neat year reading on GR and various groups that I'm looking forward to the next year. I'm not sure about what I've set myself up for - I guess I'm going to find out :)
