I love old textbooks, especially reading ones. It is interesting to observe the changing attitudes and different types of propaganda utilized in educational material. I had one that was a "history of America in pictures", with a picture or painting from each year of American history up until the time the book was published in the fifties. I was appalled by one of the entries that appeared to justify the actions of the Ku Klux Klan in the early twentieth century. 😱
I’ve heard good things about Blue Bird, Blue Bird. The Man in the Iron Mask looks relatively short for a Dumas 😅. The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers are both on my TBR. Glad January was a good reading month! I just started Valley of the Dolls but am thinking about picking up either The Brothers Karamazov or Lud-in-the-Mist next. Hope your February is off to a great start 😊
I just read the introduction and recap notes prior to Iron Mask and I thought that worked well for me. Obviously there were spoilers galore for the books in between and a couple things sounded like I missed out not reading them but I think I chose properly for me. 😃
I was going through my mil stuff and found old text books from the 60's. I set them aside and need to go through them. I'm wondering if they eye hers for maybe gimme school when she had polio. With her deceased I won't know, but that was a thought. I hear a handful talk about Louise Penny books, maybe I'll look into them.

I loved Blue Bird, Blue Bird. I need to try the Louise Penny series.
It was a good book- I’d read more by her. The Louise Penny series is just classic mystery fun to me. 😊

The Man in the iron mask is part three of the sequel to three musketeers! It was too chunky all together 🤣
Did you read all the books in the Three Muskateers series? Or did you just do Muskateers and Iron Mask?

I love that and yes the Louise Penny books are fun.
Planning on reading Count of Monte Cristo this year. Best wishes with your reading choices.
Yay- such a great choice!
I really need to try a Louise Penny :)
I really do like them. A good break from heavier books.
