My first time reading this beautiful classic novel part of Audrey’s listen-along. I absolutely loved it! 

I found Hardy’s writing so enchanting and magical. All his characters felt real, one of my favorite were definitely Bathsheba who is an inspiration to all women, she is so strong and dedicated. My other were Mr. Oak who is such a wonderful character, I really liked him throughout this book. 

Ahh the ending was so great, it filled me up with so much happiness and love towards this book. I had the most wonderful time reading this story. And now I’m so excited to watch the movie for the first time. 💚
