Okay so I’m not loving this but starting the year with a DNF feels like a bad vibe so I’m pushing through. But I already know I’ll stick to Deliah Dawson’s horror and not her fantasy satire

70 pages left! Let’s gooo

Feeling like I should have DNF’d this a while ago but now I’m committed. And can I finish it by end of day tomorrow? Time will tell.

Okay HIPPA violations….

How is this not bigger news? Mel Brooks cuts his bagels in three thin slices vs two thick halves? I guess every genius is a little nuts.. :)

Mel Brooks is a national treasure omg

Guy “I don’t want a relationship, just FWB”
Girl “that works for me.”
Later…
Girl “so let’s be in a relationship”
Guy “I literally said that’s what I didn’t want”
Girl is super upset.

This has been done before SO many times.

I’m committed to finishing this but I just can’t with Charlie’s woe is me, I ruin everything, blah blah blah. What 35 year old man is still stuck on a mistake he made at age 20 that has already been happily resolved?

I kind of hate this so far but all the reviews from my friends are making me feel like I should stick with it

166 pages left in the edition that I’m reading and we’re at the point somewhat near Bring Him Home and Javert’s Soliloquy. I have a goal to finish this by end of day Monday.

Gavroche is surviving longer in this book than in the musical and it’s stressing me out because now I’m not sure what’s to become of him.

Don’t you fret, monsieur Marius..I don’t feel any pain. (We have come to the source material for A Little Fall of Rain)

Finally at the barricades with 300 pages remaining (my edition and the one goodreads defaulted to have different page numbers)

Lamarque is ill and fading fast, won’t last the weekend so they say.

Inching closer to the end of the book (350 pages left!).

Eponine is hotter and poorer than when we last saw her and she’s still absolutely obsessed with Marius.

The source material for The Plumet Attack and I’m INVESTED

Somewhere before “in my life/a heart full of love” . We’re finally reintroduced to older Epoinne and the beginning of the yearning she has for Marius. And Marius is such a creep towards Cosette but in an endearing dumb lovable way.

Almost halfway?!

How do you do my names Gavroche…🎶

End of Part 2, Cosette. Next up, Marius. Unfortunately I’ll be picturing Nick Jonas from the concert production.

30 or so pages away from the next song. (Look down reprise). But it’s nice to see how Valjean escaped and where Cosette grew up between the Thenardiers and when the musical time jumps to whatever year it jumps to. Thenardier is my current favorite character.

Somewhere between the Thenardier Walz of Treachery and Look Down. Shoutout to a doctors appointment that’s been making me wait over an hour for all this solid reading time…

Excruciatingly dull last 50 pages. There’s a break in the narrative to talk about the battle of Waterloo. I skimmed most of this and asked ChatGPT to summarize it for me. The big plot point to know is that Thernardier is reintroduced. T

Im obsessed with this and I don’t want to go to dinner and stop listening.

End of part one. “The confrontation” . This book goes fast when you know the corresponding songs

The last 50 pages have all been the song “who am I”

Valjean, at last, we meet each other plain.
