willaful A random story? In THIS book? 😂

I was reminded of Noel Streatfeild's Thursday's Child, in which a baby was found in a basket with “three of everything, all of the very best quality.“ 22h

dabbe Imagine sending our 14.5-year-olds off into the world to make their way. Wowza! I'm loving having a Laura plot-line now! 19h

dabbe @willaful 😂😂😂 19h

mcctrish @dabbe that‘s what I was thinking too and parents itching at the bit because of all the other mouths to feed 19h

mcctrish Also Laura‘s mother saying “… if you‘re no beauty, be thankful you‘re not a freak” 19h

dabbe @mcctrish Gee, Ma, can't we just settle for plain-looking and not opposite sides of the beauty spectrum? 😂 19h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I can‘t stand her mom 🤣 19h

mcctrish @dabbe @BarkingMadRead mom is no screaming hell imo ( that saying probably dates back to Lark Rise) 18h

mcctrish I keep flipping between my kindle and the kindle app on my phone and somehow I‘ve gotten myself a chapter ahead and skipped this one ( I thought “short chapter? What on earth ?” ) now I get it #offtothebigcity 😆 for Laura 2d

TheAromaofBooks End of book two!! Hopefully we get some more Dorcas tales in book three!! 2d

Cuilin Has anyone watched the TV series? Are you planning to watch? @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks 2d

mcctrish @Cuilin where can I watch it? I do love All Creatures Great and Small so I‘d probably love this too (edited) 2d

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I will probably check it out after we are done! 2d

Cuilin @mcctrish I love All Creatures too!!!! Apparently Lark Rise is on Britbox. 2d

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead same. 2d

mcctrish Another reason why I need Britbox @Cuilin 2d

BarkingMadRead It‘s also on Tubi and Prime 2d

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I would love to watch it. Have to see if I can find it somewhere on my clunky old TV.

Edit: after I finish the book of course. (edited) 2d

BarbaraJean @Cuilin I haven‘t watched it, but I‘m planning to once we finish! @mcctrish I need to watch (and read) All Creatures, too! 2d

mcctrish @BarbaraJean ❤️❤️❤️ 2d

TheAromaofBooks @Cuilin - Until we started reading this, I didn't even realize this was a TV series!! But I'm definitely interested in trying it after we finish the book. Now that we're getting into more actual little stories about Laura, I can see better how it would work in TV episode format. 2d

Cuilin @TheAromaofBooks I‘m really interested to see how they do it considering everything we‘ve read so far. 2d

AnneCecilie I loved the series, but I watched it on TV when it first was made and have no idea where it would be possible to watch it now @Cuilin @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 2d

Deblovestoread I watched it years ago, too and am looking forward to watching it again when we‘ve finished. I think it‘s available on Prime. 2d

Bookwormjillk Looks like there's a free trial of Brit Box available through Prime. 2d

dabbe Here's a link to all the places you can find it:
https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/lark-rise-to-candleford

And glory be to the shortest chapter so far! Good luck, Laura! 🤩 2d

KAO @dabbe Thanks for the tip on where to watch this! I‘ve never seen it, so it‘s all new to me. 2d

dabbe @KAO Same here! I think I'll have to watch, too! These characters are growing on me! 🤩 2d

willaful An old saying of my husband's father, “teenage boys should be put in a barrel and fed through the bunghole, and at 18 you either let them out or close up the bunghole.“ Might not have been a terrible joke if he hadn't actually treated his sons with such disdain. 🤬

I have some sympathy with Laura's mom... the “fear of falling“ must have been really strong in her position. But people who love babies so much are annoying! 😂

Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class

mcctrish Just no one serve me lamb‘s tail pie and I‘d rather books than babies any day (edited) 3d

Bookwormjillk @willaful I have sympathy for her mom too- but maybe because I have two teenagers in the house. It‘s hard to let‘s our dreams for our kids go. On the other had she‘s kind of mean. I hope I don‘t sound that way 😂 3d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m picturing one of those wooden boards with divots in them, and you have to try and roll marbles into the divots 5d

mcctrish I was thinking more of the game you get in Christmas crackers made of plastic with little silver balls but of course it would be wood in these Lark Rise times 5d

Bookwormjillk I had that game! That brings back memories of flinging things at my brother. Anyway, good chapter. Love Uncle Tom and the lady with all the cats who thought everyone was out to get her. 5d

willaful @mcctrish That's what I'm thinking. We have (had?) a large one made with mercury, which of course isn't used anymore! 5d

willaful So this chapter referenced Villette, which I guess is a call-out to #LiteraryCrew, which is reading it next. :-) 5d

TheBookHippie I highly suggest the illustrated version 😂😂😂😂😂 1w

Bookwormjillk I feel like this book is getting a lot better. Is it just me? 1w

willaful @Bookwormjillk It so helps to have an actual narrative and main character!

My heart just broke over her mom seeing her writing as “wasting her time“ when she should be SEWING! I guess it made sense at the time, but how awesome that “Laura“ turned out to be a writer with a zillion editions of her books. 7d

Ruthiella I really loved the sweet moment with Miss Spencer. 7d

mcctrish @Cuilin Edmund makes me laugh too 7d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s better but it‘s not good 🤣🤣 7d

BarbaraJean @willaful Yes! An actual main character and additional recognizable characters that sometimes appear in more than one chapter! 😆 I felt the same about Laura‘s writing. 7d

BarbaraJean @Bookwormjillk I was thinking today that it‘s getting better, so it‘s not just you—but then it also occurred to me that maybe I‘m just used to it now. So I guess I‘m also in agreement with @mcctrish 😆 7d

Bklover @TheBookHippie I ordered the Illustrated version about a week ago from ThriftBooks. Can‘t want till it gets here. This is, of course, after I purchased a regular copy on ThriftBooks plus a different version from Amazon (I forgot I‘d ordered ThriftBooks) So I now own three copies of a book that I kind of doubt I‘ll read a second time! 😂 7d

TheBookHippie @Bklover I have done that … more than once 😂😵‍💫🤪 7d

dabbe I am so glad you posted the Python pic! That's exactly what I thought of when I read that part! 😂🤩😂 And yay to the shorter chapters! Though the next one is looonnnnnggggg. 😱 6d

Yet it was thrilling to see a man hurtling through space on one high wheel, with another tiny wheel wobbling helplessly behind. You wondered how they managed to keep their balance. No wonder they wore an anxious air. ‘Bicyclist‘s face‘, the expression was called, and the newspapers foretold a hunchbacked and tortured-faced future generation as a result of the pastime.

willaful @mcctrish Yes, that helps. 2w

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish you are so right 2w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk what really funny is I did my reading at school today during silent reading time. I have this and my Sunday Buddy Read on my kindle and I decided I‘d knock my chapter off using the kindle app on my phone. But it was queued up to Grand Hotel and I was so perplexed as to where the German dancer came from and who was he backing into a corner 2w

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - It's true!! I honestly can't decide whether or not I like this book!? But I love the more personal glimpses we get with Laura's opinions/thoughts/actions vs. the overview. 2w

KAO I found it remarkable that there was a lot to say about the role of church (including the rector‘s practices outside of services) in this hamlet. Nowhere near this amount of detail was given about school! Then again, the actual church building was often located at the center of a village (or is that true only in Germany, Austria, and other European countries where I‘ve seen it so often?). I can imagine how the church was figuratively central too. 2w

KAO I do agree that my interest is sparked when I get a glimpse of Laura or Edmund‘s behaviors! Or of particular background stories on occasionally introduced characters. Poor Rev. Marley! 2w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk for real 3w

dabbe @Cuilin That would happen when Matt and I would be escorts at middle school dances. We always had to stay until every kid was picked up, and sometimes parents would come 1-2 hours later--probably because of their own so-called date night!

AllDebooks Best photo match, ever 😅 3w

Ruthiella This chapter reminded me of the schoolroom battle portrayed in Laura Ingalls Wilder‘s

Farmer Boy

dabbe I cracked up when Miss Higgs told the class she wanted to be their friend, and the students “scented weakness ... from one whose office it was to rule.“ There's a reason why teachers don't smile until 2nd semester. 😂

My first year teaching I had an 8th grade class from hell. I literally begged them to be good and promised them an ice cream party EVERY Friday if they were. Did it work? Nope. Major lesson learned. By me. 😂 3w

KAO As a retired teacher myself, I was looking forward to this chapter! I am fascinated by accounts of school life from the past! I had a distant relative who was a teacher in a one room schoolhouse in Canada many decades ago—and man oh man, but she had stories to tell! (edited) 3w

Bookwormjillk I was kind of happy Laura wasn‘t top in her class. Nothing wrong with smart girls of course but it seems like every girl in every book ends up number one in her class. Kind of relatable to read about one who was good at some things and not at others. 3w

And if you say, 'I cannot tell,'

TheAromaofBooks I've done some basic bobbin lace making myself (mostly bookmarks 😂) but some of the complicated patterns are just amazing. This chapter was loads of fun. 4w

willaful I love the old legends around informing the bees! 4w

Bklover @Ruthiella 🩷 @TheAromaofBooks Wow!! It looks incredibly confusing! 4w

mcctrish Finally it feels like we meet some people and not just towns/hamlets/villages I laughed out loud at ladies over 50 being into snuff 4w

dabbe @mcctrish Boys gotta have their pints, gals gotta have their snuff! Love the old men being controlled by their women, too! 😂 4w

Deblovestoread Glad to get to know the citizens a bit. 4w

mcctrish @dabbe glad they have something 4w

julieclair This is the first chapter I have been able to get through without falling asleep. Perhaps this book is growing on me. 4w

KAO @Bklover Thanks for the video link showing bobbin lace-making! That‘s amazing! 3w

Bklover @KAO You‘re welcome! I thought it looked fascinating. And difficult!! ❤️ 3w

Cuilin I may be in the minority here, but I‘m loving this book. It‘s like looking at a huge pastoral painted masterpiece and seeing all the details. 4w

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin I actually don‘t mind it but I think it would be better read in chunks or all at once. To me chapter a day is kind of weird for a book like this. 4w

dabbe I did love reading the songs today. They were like ballads--or maybe they were actually ballads. 😂 4w

mcctrish It‘s just a lot of words setting the scene for an episode of All Creatures Great and Small imo and I‘d like it to start already 4w

willaful @dabbe It's definitely ballads! I'm interested in folk music, so I enjoyed this chapter. I recognized a few of these because they made it to Appalachia and Jean Ritchie sang them. 4w

Bookwormjillk I was trying to figure out the tunes for each one but in my mind they all sounded like Chumbawumba. 4w

dabbe @willaful 🤩🤗🤩 4w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🤩😂🤗 4w

Bklover @Cuilin The way this is written reminds me of the early Little House books minus any drama. The difference being the target audience. 4w

willaful @Bookwormjillk Here's a bit of Jean Ritchie singing Lord Lovell: https://folkways.si.edu/jean-ritchie/lord-lovel/american-folk-old-time-world/mus...

And here's a version of “False Sir John“: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAT5mDCwKpE 4w

KAO I enjoyed some of the songs that I found on YouTube—especially “The Outlandish Knight”! https://youtu.be/bq6RldgW7NQ?si=bX_O2D6mjk1HasWB (edited) 4w

KAO @Cuilin I‘m with you! I‘m enjoying the book so far (though I‘m not usually so patient with long descriptions), and the word “pastoral” seems perfect. Maybe it‘s just what my anxious mind needs right now! 4w

Cuilin @KAO exactly, it‘s so relaxing. 4w

julieclair @Cuilin I love your perspective! I think I need to change the lens through which I have been viewing this book. 4w

Lark Rise to Candleford - Trilogy: Lark Rise, Over to Candleford and Candleford Green | Flora Thompson

i have the cutest tiny edition of this from the library (shown on a regular sized hardcover for scale.) But the print is too small for my aging eyes, so I have to use my ereader!

Librarybelle Cute edition, but I can only imagine the size of the print! 4w

julieclair Thankfully, I‘m reading it on my tablet, so 1) I can‘t see how thick the book is and 2) I can adjust the size of the print to suit my old eyes! 😂 4w

BarkingMadRead That‘s a cool cover!! 4w

mcctrish Such a pretty cover but micro print is ridiculous. I‘m on my e reader too and I think I‘d like to know how far I have to read of this meandering bucolic story 4w

Deblovestoread I‘m on an e reader, too. Although I can still read fairly small print it causes headaches so I steer clear. 4w

Bookwomble It looks like Macmillan Collector's edition judging by the cover layout. I love those books, but as you say, the font can be challenging at times! 🔎📖 4w

quietjenn So pretty, but I sympathize about the font. I'm reading the ebook, too. 4w

willaful @Bookwomble Yes, that's it. I remember the first edition of “The Professor“ I ever read was a tiny one like this -- but I was maybe 16 then! 4w

mcctrish This made me flinch 4w

TheAromaofBooks I did think it was interesting that the “mother village“ was smaller than the “hamlet.“ I get that it's the location of the home farm, which makes it more important, but it also seems like more people would live there! 4w

Librarybelle While I don‘t mind very minute details about every day life, a part of me is wondering how in the world they came up with a TV series for this. I guess lots of TV magic, unless we get into storylines in the book very soon. 4w

julieclair @mcctrish 😂😂😂👍 4w

julieclair 🥱😴💤😪 4w

Deblovestoread @Librarybelle. Same! 4w

dabbe I almost wrote this yesterday and am in agreement with all of you so far: is there a plot anywhere in our future? 🙏🏻 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig It made for a wonderful sleep story. I fell asleep to audiobook almost immediately. 4w

willaful @dabbe I looked it up on wikipedia and from what I can glean... no. How did they make an entire show about this?! 4w

Bklover @Crinoline_Laphroaig I keep falling asleep too! I keep thinking how different this is from our last adventure. No crying or fainting here! 4w

BarbaraJean @willaful Noooo!! I keep thinking there will be a semblance of a story when we get to the next chapter… you have shattered my hopeful delusion 😩 4w

eeclayton @willaful 😳 4w

Ruthiella I‘m not quite sure what my expectations were, but they weren‘t what the first three chapters have revealed thus far. 😂 4w

Ruthiella I‘m enjoying this look at a lost time and place, but taking it with a grain of salt regarding things like children grew up without neuroses because they played outside in all weathers etc. 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Yes, this is interesting but... not very story-ish as of yet 😂 1mo

Bookwormjillk I hope this isn‘t boring too. I was getting invested in Edward and what‘s her name today but then it said we‘re not going to talk about them any more. PS I can see the pram in the preview but not the post. (edited) 1mo

mcctrish @eeclayton it‘s pretty wordy for not much happening @TheAromaofBooks it‘s pretty much just a written accounting of a day in the life @Ruthiella kind of makes you think the author time travelled back from our current phone raised generation to make sweeping generalities 1mo

Bklover @Ruthiella Yes! And also that being “soundly spanked” made them not repeat the behavior as opposed to “laying up complexes” that will spoil their later lives. 🙄. I‘m starting to think that there may not be much plot here. @TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish @eeclayton 1mo

willaful All valid complaints but I am actually enjoying it. I hope we do get some story soon though.

I kind of feel the author is a little dishonest? She's writing like it's perfectly fine that the two intellectually curious kids get no encouragement or help but I don't believe it left no scars. And I don't believe there weren't any other “different“ kids who had a hard time with their way of life, either. 1mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm caught up! Although I did skip over Chapter 1 pig killing. 1mo

julieclair I keep falling asleep as I read. I think this might be boring. Hoping for a plot to emerge soon. 4w

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk It seems odd that we wouldn‘t hear more about Laura; she‘s the main character in the TV show. 🫤 4w

mcctrish I have to say I share Laura‘s decor style, every summer I decorated the inside of outhouse at the cottage with pictures from magazines my aunt got from her friend who worked for Air Canada. Every summer had a theme- once it was food, once flowers, once each wall a different colour. The pig running away mid kill made me laugh out loud 1mo

rubyslippersreads @mcctrish I‘m glad I‘m not the only one. 1mo
