these miseries

Week one of the Les Mis Araithon! This week, we're reading :

April 1-4: Book 1, Chapters 1-3 [Ch 1-3]

WHAT: a read along of the Arai manga version of Les Miserables! (we'll primarily be working with the English translation omnibus editions, but if you're wanting to read another language/ edition, it's fun to compare notes there too!)

WHEN : Starting the 1st of April and running through June 13th! the reading schedule is below the cut. HOW: with posts here and on The LMAraithon Discord! We'll be holding regular meetings there to chat about what we're reading, as well as having open posting generally--if you've been to an LML Biweekly chat , you know what that sort of meeting is like.

WHY: Because the Arai Manga deserves more love, and talking about Les Mis is fun!:D Like I said, we're not starting til April, so hopefully that will give people time to grab at least the first volume! (And if you just can't find them, come over to the Discord and maybe we can help!) Come join us!:D

Prouvaire's gaze met Combeferre's, accompanied by a gentle smile. “If it is not a night of rest that I have interrupted, would you mind terribly accompanying me to the cemetery at Montparnasse? I have heard the most fascinating tales of a ghost haunting its grounds these past weeks. Better yet, tonight is to be moonless, and its deepest dark shall be perfectly suited for calling forth a spirit from the life beyond.” ---------------------- In which Prouvaire makes a surprise visit, a cemetery is broken into, a ghost is (not) summoned, and stars are gazed upon.
