Currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I've had it for ages. Not sure what's taken me so long to get round to it.

My older kids (27 and 22) and I had gotten into this weird messenger chat about knots (iykyk) a while back after I (and then my daughter, the 22yo) read Bride. They gave me a gift and said there was a theme. Coffee? Nope. Then I saw the bookmark, and the 💡came on.

The (rightful) rage the author feels is palpable. The story seems almost light-hearted and ridiculous, but somehow it works beautifully. Just stunning. And the cover, that seemed so simple when I picked it up, had me in tears by the end of the story. Best book I've read this year.
