30-Day Book Challenge: Day 30

Day 30 – My favorite book of all time

Les Miserables. Full disclosure: I don't know if this is my favorite book, but it is definitely my favorite story. I haven't read the book since I was 12, so I hope to be able to revisit it soon with my increased wealth of knowledge and maturity level, but when I read it back in the 7th grade, I remember there being a lot of long, boring chapters about the student revolution. I would get to one of those chapters, realize it was about the war and not my beloved characters from the Broadway adaptation, and skip it. But as far as stories go, Victor Hugo wove quite the tale of personal struggles, romance and societal challenges. I own a paperback version and downloaded a free version on my Kindle, so I definitely need to reread it soon.

And to end the 30-Day Book Challenge (which has been loads of fun, btw!), I will leave you with my other favorite books of all time (not including children's books), many of which I've had the opportunity to tell you about earlier in this challenge (see links):
