I have seen an abridged version of Les Miserables that looked only a cm or so thick!

Huh, <i>Oliver Twist</i> was one of those books that I slogged through at points (mostly because of excessive description) but actually ended up enjoying.<br /><br />There's a BBC series based on <i>Call the Midwife</i>, right? I've wanted to see it. Have you? Oh no, not the abridged version! I think that happened to me with <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>. I'm getting ready to read the full version, actually. I haven't really gotten into Jules Verne, but I own a couple of his books, so I'll be reading them eventually. :DRachelle O'Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884513979937452569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050645680221973601.post-4119439462233084422016-09-02T18:25:09.627-07:002016-09-02T18:25:09.627-07:00I'm listening to Oliver Twist via the online e...I'm listening to Oliver Twist via the online episodes. Focus does such an amazing job with their radio dramas!<br /><br />I loved Call the Midwife, but 20000 Leagues under the Sea wasn't quite my favourite. I accidentally bought the abridged version.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the WWII book. :) <br /><br />Interesting! I haven't read either one of those.

Secret Heroes of WWII also sounds like something I need to read! <br /> While we're on the topic of reading, I finished two books these last few weeks of August: Call the Midwife and 20000 Leagues under the Sea! I had previously been in a reading rut, but then I took a holiday and internet hiatus. <br />Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760994961683034493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050645680221973601.post-32499449878390262912016-09-01T09:07:43.482-07:002016-09-01T09:07:43.482-07:00Yeah. xP It doesn't have interaction with me, ...Yeah. xP It doesn't have interaction with me, exactly, but it's videos of an instructor teaching one of his students, with a bunch of extra quizzes and material.<br />I like it quite a bit. xP I don't expect to be fluent in ASL when I'm finished with this website (lifeprint.com) but it's a start!<br /><br />That's good. :-) It's hard to appreciate some school. xPCarrie-Anne Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840611324784474990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050645680221973601.post-30834158520476322842016-08-31T22:51:15.560-07:002016-08-31T22:51:15.560-07:00Forgive my reaction, but you're learning ASL v...Forgive my reaction, but you're learning ASL via an online class? Do you have video interaction of some kind? This is my third semester of ASL, and, trust me, it requires an immense amount of interaction and practice. That being said, I really love it. I hope you do, too!<br /><br />Haha, I totally know how that happens!<br /><br />I can relate on the stress front! I'm glad you're finding the positive, though.
