This is an all-time fav of mine. I will try to fit it in to my reading schedule, so I may not start before July.

It's a 'long read' so no end date, no pressure, and we'll see how we go!

I've heard so much about the author, Alexandre Dumas, but only very little about the book, other than that it is a classic and it's been on my TBR forever...

I’m excited to have somewhere to discuss this book! I’m at the half way point. It’s very well written just very long, so I was taking a break from it and this is the perfect excuse to jump back in. ☺️ I’ve seen the movie so I know how it ends, but it’s fascinating to read all the in between stuff that didn’t make it into the film. Who else is joining in on this read? Would love to hear what everyone thinks. ☺️🫶📖 I’m Cat by the way 👋

Is there a separate thread for The Collected Regrets of Clover? Realized we had one for the long read but couldn’t find a separate one. I tried clicking on the book listed under currently reading but it just took me to the Goodreads page for The Collected Regrets
