The mysteries of Udolpho

The mysteries of Udolpho | Ann Ward Radcliffe, Bonamy Dobr�e

I'm currently participating in the final #hashtagbrigade #buddyread of the year. 10ish chapters left, and I just don't care anymore. I've never read a book with more loose ends, dead ends, and 'we won't talk about that' plot devices in my life. Thank goodness for @BarkingMadRead keeping us sane and the humour flowing. Otherwise, I would have bailed around chapter 10!
FYI, I got bored and did a word count. 🙄😅

AllDebooks @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead Just so you know, it was on Kindle. I didn't sit there with a book and highlighter. I do have a life! 😅 16h

BarkingMadRead But still. You had to do the search 🤷🏻‍♀️ 16h

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead 😬 you got me 16h

dabbe I managed to get through THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV thanks to this group and @BarkingMadRead's hilarious posts and @Aimeesue's hysterical dioramas, but this one? I bailed at Book 2. And I had also tried to read it a few years ago. I just couldn't do it. Again. Writing that goes on and on an on and on with tears all over the place and too many descriptions and meandering everywhere ... bleh! I'll be up for the January read, though! 🤩 15h

mcctrish @dabbe The Bros was better ( never thought I‘d say that ) 15h

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish you know it‘s a bad book when #thebrosarebetter 15h

mcctrish @AllDebooks the fainting count surprises me, I must have fainted myself and missed then but all those ithers I have felt and I attribute them to the author‘s dithering 15h

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s mind boggling 15h

Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 The Bros! Slightly less histrionic than The Mysteries of Udolfo! 13h

mcctrish @Ruthiella there was no crying 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 12h

Clare-Dragonfly Brilliant word counting 😂 12h

eeclayton Wow 😲 7h

AllDebooks @Clare-Dragonfly it's telling that I would rather do that than read the bloody thing. 😅 4h

TheAromaofBooks It honestly seems like there should be more crying 😂 Maybe we should add “tears“ to the word count?? Poor Emily, it just seems like her eyes must be swollen shut all the time! 3h

TheAromaofBooks I gotta be honest, I freaking love Annette and her complete inability to keep a secret 😂 3d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks without Annette, we wouldn‘t know a damn thing 🤣 3d

Clare-Dragonfly There doesn‘t seem to be much acknowledgement that Annette‘s husband has disappeared! 3d

Clare-Dragonfly Linguistic note: I see that Annette has switched from calling Emily “mamselle” to “madam”! This matches up with something I noted in the book I just finished—in English, Mrs was for a long time just a title of respect for an adult woman of a certain class, even if she wasn‘t married. The Mrs versus Miss for marital status distinction wasn‘t solidified until the mid-19th century. Emily is probably Madam now that she‘s inherited.

mcctrish @peanutnine absolutely so many words and nothing happens besides crying, fainting and things that can‘t be talked about 5d

Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine Yup. That‘s why I‘m not expecting any exciting ghost reveal with Ludo. 5d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish there was some skirt swishing for sure 6d

Clare-Dragonfly The count is so fatherly to Emily! Throwing his buddy Du Pont at her just like her real dad did with Valancourt. 🙄 And pretty condescending to boot. 6d

TheAromaofBooks I just thought it was hilarious that after all the times Ludo locked up Annette in a room, he finally got himself locked up for a change of pace 😂 I'm worried about him, though, because despite his room-locking tendencies, he's actually one of my favorite characters! 5d

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣 so true! I like him too though 5d

mcctrish What just happened? V admits to the debts he could never repay and that he isn‘t worthy of Emily AND is mad that she doesn‘t want to shackle herself to him?! He questions how long the count has been her friend? Meanwhile E has spent about 32 minutes in his actual company and expects her to marry him after whoring and gambling ? RUN AWAY EMILY 2w

Bklover @mcctrish yes! When I think of all the weeping and fainting over V it makes me want to scream. You are right- she doesn‘t even really know him! 2w

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 2w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bklover #accurate 2w

Bookwormjillk At first I was kind of on V's side because yeah she just met this Count guy. But then he admitted to it all so bye V. And what is the story of the picture? 2w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 2w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 2w

Clare-Dragonfly V keeps going “I‘m terrible and it‘s exactly like the Count says” except no one actually lays out what Emily or V is thinking. I‘d put money on V‘s actual actions not being as bad as what Emily thinks. Of course, I don‘t know whether he‘ll actually TELL HER that before they both die of old age! 2w

julieclair If we don‘t find out about the picture, I‘m going to go nuts. I‘m warming up my book-throwing arm… 2w

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks yes I actually can that‘s why I was worried 😂 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m relieved that we made it back to this castle. I spent like 14 chapters wondering when Emily was going to figure out that Udolpho was the creepy castle she saw before. Then I realized it was in Italy so it must be a different castle, and I wondered why they spent so much time being aware of that creepy castle! I also realized that the convent Blanche lived in must be a different one. I think Radcliffe has too many settings! 🙄 2w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks There‘s a creepy castle around every corner in this book. Somebody has to live in them! So the obvious answer is to introduce more characters. 🤓🤣 2w

Clare-Dragonfly And yeah, as soon as the guy wouldn‘t tell Ludo his name, I knew it wasn‘t going to be V. 2w

Bookwormjillk I was a bit shocked it wasn‘t V myself. But then again we still have many chapters to go. 2w

Bklover I wonder where V is? Maybe he‘s moved on! (I sure hope not after all this) 2w

peanutnine I had a feeling the creeper wasn't V cause he would have already admitted it to Emily, he was always really frank about his stalker tendencies lol 2w

mcctrish @Bklover he‘s still partying in Paris 2w

TheAromaofBooks I'm soooo confused about why she got sent away and then brought back when it's obvious Macaroni doesn't care about her safety at all?? Did he just think she might get killed before he got the paper signed?! 3w

mcctrish @Ruthiella she is now exhausted by her tears so maybe we can catch a break ( I didn‘t even realize she was crying. Again. ) 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Macaroni obviously isn‘t going to kill her, because he wouldn‘t inherit her estates (I presume her closest living relative would, and that‘s the mom‘s brother, whom it would be a lot harder to get the property from). But this seems like a lovely place so I‘m suspicious of the niceness. 3w

Bklover To me this book feels so much like it was written by a man! All the fainting and crying and weak women. And I mean a man back in that time. (edited) 3w

Bookwormjillk So weird. Glad she made a friend though. Random sea nymph poem inserted here. 3w

julieclair I‘m glad I don‘t have to “analyze” this book for an English class. I don‘t know what I‘d do about that sea nymph song! 😂 Which, by the way, was sung in the audio version and was completely tuneless!But at least Emily has made a friend. 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I was just thinking this couldn‘t possibly be set up by Macaroni because he doesn‘t need to be this subtle when he can just threaten her. And I was proven right! I‘m wondering if her aunt is really dead? Was that the body she saw? And if they thought Ludo was dead and he wasn‘t, could that be the case again? 4w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder the same. It‘s dark. And she‘s … Emily… so it could totally be a mistake! 4w

mcctrish It‘s dark and she‘s Emily 🤣🤣🤣 doesn‘t macaroni want the aunt dead so he can marry Emily and get the property? 4w

TheAromaofBooks I honestly kind of admired Emily in this chapter - she's completely terrified but still determined to find her aunt and make sure she's okay. And she seems to be fainting more than crying; haven't decided whether or not that's an improvement 😂 4w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I know, like what‘s worse? The fainting or the crying? At least the fainting takes less time 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4w

#Two4Tuesday is my fav question, thanks @TheSpineView

1/ I tend to plan ahead what I read, one of my favourite things is lining up future reads.

2/ I'm going to go for the #currentread for #hashtagbrigade, this one didn't go to plan, it took me 5 months to read and I was sure when I finished I'd think never again but no, it's left an impression and I would definitely read again, next time I'm hoping it doesn't take this long.

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for real though! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly This was such a long chapter but at least stuff happened? Very annoyed that we don‘t get to see what‘s behind the curtain. My money is on a dead body. ☠️ 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I would love it if it was a dead body, we need some action. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I literally looked up spoilers to see what was behind the curtain because I couldn't deal with not knowing! 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks Omg you know?!? Don‘t tell me. But omg. No. Don‘t tell me. Ahhhhhhh 1mo

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I think you just gave me my justification to peek. 🫣 😊😊 1mo

Bookwormjillk Finished this chapter at exactly 11:59 pm. You know it‘s a long one when the hashtags extend into the comments. I giggled a bit when Auntie was like”whatever.” 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @Bklover - I have to confess to the fact that I'm a spoiler lover 😂I don't like being stressed when I'm reading so sometimes I just gotta know! 😆 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was glad to see that Manchon is still around! 1mo

@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 💛🤎🧡)

1. I love to plan and make lists. Actually performing the lists, though ... well, that's another story entirely. 😂
2. If you want to read an early Gothic novel where everything (at least so far) just happens to our heroine while she weeps unendingly, then this is the book for you! 😄

If you read all of this, you're 🔖!

TheSpineView So get #1!! Thanks for playing 1mo

dabbe @TheSpineView YW! 🧡🤎💛 1mo

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead the u-turns from this aunt are making my head spin! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks she‘s exhausting! 1mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks I‘ve got whiplash 1mo

mcctrish Sigh. Sob. You must go. Wait, listen to this. Sigh. Sob. Don‘t ever forget me. You must forget me. Sigh. Sob. #putafeatherinhishatandcallhimmacaroni 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Definitely saw Marconi forbidding the marriage coming! There is a lot of sighing and fainting in this chapter. There is no way I would be slogging through this book without the #hashtagbrigade! I *will* learn what Catherine Morland gets so excited about! (edited) 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I just realized I got his name wrong in a completely different way 😂 Montoni! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also! Doesn‘t Valancourt have a first name? He calls Emily by her name all the time but she doesn‘t use his name in dialogue. Did Radcliffe just not feel like coming up with a first name? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think they‘ve mentioned a first name? I‘m not sure! 1mo

dabbe This is the perfect kind of book for me right now. No matter how bad things are or seem to be today, I am quite grateful to not be Emily in the late 1500's with absolutely no money and no say in what she can/can't do in her life. #yikes #andyesshecrieswaytoomuch #scmb 1mo

TheAromaofBooks The aunt being like “suck it up or people will judge you for not being able to get over your completely inappropriate boyfriend“ like 48 hours ago you were totally on his team?!?! Geezy 1mo

AnishaInkspill yeah the uncle 1mo

Bklover And now they‘re both crying. And dear obedient Emily will now be ordered around by Macaroni. 1mo

I didn‘t read any nonfiction yesterday but inspired by our chapter of Udolpho I did look up the definitions of verdant and verdure.

Verdant- green with grass or other rich vegetation
Verdure- lush green vegetation

1. I am all about the melancholy, and sunsets bring that out in me. A sunset over saguaros is quite breathtaking.
2. Gothic, France, Pyrenees

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish totally 2mo

peanutnine I always find it odd that the prescription for illness in this time period is so often travel, like travel is the most exhausting thing I don't get it 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m surprised to see both monks and nuns in a convent. I thought they were always sex-segregated. 2mo

ElizaMarie @peanutnine yes!!!! I always have to take an extra day off after taking days off from vacation! 2mo

Bklover @peanutnine I agree! Not to mention wandering all over the place picking up germs! 2mo

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly I think Radcliffe might have just made that up. 2mo

AnishaInkspill @BarkingMadRead thanks for the add 😍 these 2mo

AnishaInkspill @Clare-Dragonfly me too, I looked this up and found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_monastery , maybe Radcliffe means one of these double monastry ? 2mo

ElizaMarie @mcctrish Yeah, instantly thought it was his momma. Maybe I am too nieve and trusting :) 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly “Oh, brother, you look sick, you should go to the doctor.” Lady, his wife just died and you‘re making him go to a party! 2mo

dabbe @mcctrish I see bad things ahead with this aunt and uncle. He's already planning on redoing their cozy little home! And boasting about the changes to Emily's dad! #wtf 😳 2mo

mcctrish @dabbe the tree clearing concerns me maybe he will die too (edited) 2mo

TheAromaofBooks I totally had that glowworm!! 😂 2mo

Bookwormjillk Yup I had one! 2mo

TheBookHippie My daughter had one! 2mo

ElizaMarie OMG #ThatUncle I can't believe he is talking about clearing out the trees! I had a glowworm! It was ridiculous! Why did we have such weird toys as kids!? 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly Definitely a creeper! He stole her mom‘s necklace! Funny how this book starts with all these long, lingering descriptions but there‘s still a ton of action packed into the first chapter. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly right? Soooooo much happened! The words on my pages are really small, that chapter felt so long! 2mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie it was giving me sense and sensibility vibes, leave the trees alone! 2mo

CatLass007 Dang! I forgot we were starting this today. But it‘s not too late. What years was the Glow Worm in existence as a toy? Because I don‘t even remember a commercial for it. 2mo

jewright I used my glow worm to read under my blankets when I was supposed to be sleeping when I was a kid. 2mo

Cupcake12 I had one and loved it so much especially when reading at night 2mo

AnishaInkspill 😂 💛 💛 2mo

julieclair That aunt and uncle were too awful to be believed. So rude, self-centered and insensitive. And the mom dies already? And the creeper guy? We are totally set up for lots of action ahead. 2mo

Bklover @CatLass007 My daughter was born in 1986 and she had a pink glow worm. 2mo

CatLass007 @Bklover No, definitely not my generation. I graduated from college in 1985.😂 2mo
