  1. This looks like a fun challenge!
    I loved The Woman in White, such a fun book. I also really enjoyed Jane Eyre and Tale of Two Cities. However, I hope you like Les Miserables more than me - I like chunky epics but there were too many diversions in the story for me.

    1. Yay! Your taste seems similar to mine. I enjoy Jane Eyre and Tale of Two Cities too. Can't wait to start The Woman in White.
      I've been wanting to read Les Miserables since 2010 and still hasn't got to it.
