This Week's Letter is "M"
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
For this novel of French bourgeois life in all its inglorious banality, Flaubert invented a paradoxically original and wholly modern style. His heroine, Emma Bovary, a bored provincial housewife, abandons her husband to pursue the libertine Rodolphe in a desperate love affair. A succès de scandale in its day, Madame Bovary remains a powerful and arousing novel.
AWESOME. I listened to this on an audiobook. I was pleasantly surprised that it was good and that I enjoyed it. I do often read/listen to Classic novels, but when I read the synopsis I thought "sounds pretty boring", but it wasn't. It was suspensful, surprising and just good story telling.

I have heard so many good things about this book!
A-Z Wednesday: Meggie's Remains by Joanne Sundell
I read this years ago and remember enjoying it. I should probably re-read it as an adult and see what all I missed the first time through. ;-)
I love reading classics. I'll have to add this one to my list. Here is my "M" book.
I read this years and years ago; it's a GREAT choice for this week!
Here's my M book :-)

This is one of those books that falls under the category of "I Probably Should Read But Haven't Gotten Around to it Yet."
My M Book is HERE
I've never seen this book before, great choice!
Thanks for playing!
Another classic I keep thinking I should read someday! Great M book and I love the cover of that edition.
