I just finished The Count of Monte Cristo and just. Wow. The longest book I’ve read in my life, also took the longest time it’s ever taken me to read a book in my life. But just wow. So worth it. Now I have to try and begin to decide what to read next…

Les Miserables is sometimes and eventually peak. I super recommend it, but the first 50 pages are following a super minor character, so it’s a really bad hook

It is a phenomenal read. It took me about 2 months to read but I definitely could have taken less time. I had one or two things happen while I was in the process of reading and I started my last year of college in the middle of the book which slowed me down quite a bit…

Just searched up the synopsis and holy crap that sounds like such an interesting and gripping book. I may just have to read that

I’m about to read Wuthering Heights, which I’ve heard really good things about. It’s not crazy long, but it’s not short. I definitely need to get to Don Quixote
