OK, I only completed three books this month, which feels like I am a little behind schedule, but maybe not. After all, one of the books I read was a 355,000-word tome by Charles Dickens, which is considered one of the longest novels written in the English language! Considering a typical modern-day novel is around 100,000 words, I think this one should count as three, maybe even four books... but I won't cheat! All three of the books are fictional novels - two are historical fiction and one is fantasy fiction. I listened to two of them on audiobook and read one on my Kindle at bedtime.   Bleak House, Charles Dickens What can I say? Charles Dickens is a true genius. I spent a year (maybe ten-ish years ago?) reading ten of his major works. I can't pick a favorite between Great Expectations , A Tale of Two Cities , Nicholas Nickleby,  and Our Mutual Friend , but ever since that reading challenge, I reread A Christmas Carol during the four days before Christmas every year....
