Lark Rise to Candleford (Penguin Modern Classics) | Flora Thompson

And just like that, hours and hours later, I‘m back in my regular reading spot for #hyggehour with Lark Rise to Boredom, a pink gin smash ( there is no dry January happening here) and an emptied bowl of potato chips for all of my hard work today #cheerstome

Ruthiella “Lark Rise to Boredom” 🤣🤣🤣 I am actually enjoying it, but it‘s not Cranford. 13h

mcctrish @MrT oh gosh, that would be torture 49m

My #boringkindlecover for this month‘s #hashtagbrigade read. Not gonna lie I got nervous when I saw a 17 minute chapter to start but it was mostly about food so it was fine.

eeclayton I'm reading the same edition. The book is a nice change after Udolpho! 😅 5d

Ok #hashtagbridade you have voted and here are the winners! I tried to make sure we are only reading a chapter a day so a few of the start dates are a little weird, we may be able to play around with it as we go, but here are the winning books!

Everyone is welcome. You will only be tagged if you for each book if you reply to each announcement.

BarkingMadRead Thank you for sharing! 2mo

Everyone is welcome! I have a master list that I will use before we start each book, and will only tag you for each book if you reply to each announcement.. ⬇️

BarkingMadRead Just remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read the post until you‘ve read that day‘s chapter! 2mo

Daisey I completely forgot to vote, but I‘m looking forward to some of these choices! 2mo

AllDebooks Great books to look forward to 😊 2mo

Ruthiella Awesome! Call wait. 😅 2mo

Deblovestoread Great list! I‘m going to do better in 2025 🤞🏼 2mo

Librarybelle Great list! Looking forward to these!! 2mo

eeclayton Great list! I was absent for most of this year's books, but hopefully I'll be able to join you much more in 2025. 2mo

Bookwormjillk Love this list! Thank you! 2mo

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead I think I asked to be removed from your master tag list, but it looks like you haven‘t and I‘m glad. Because I‘ve changed my mind, keep me on your list and I‘ll see what I can work into my list. A couple are free on Audible and I‘ve put a library hold on The Bell Jar. But I may decide to read a book all at once rather than a chapter a day. That seems to be less overwhelming. 2mo

AnneCecilie I would love to join for some of these 2mo

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 ohhh I‘m sorry, I probably removed you from the current list instead of the master! 2mo

BarkingMadRead @AnneCecilie I‘ll add you to the master list, you‘ll only be tagged before we start each book, unless you ask to be tagged for the book we are currently reading, if that makes sense 🤣 2mo

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 you should definitely read at whatever pace works best for you! (edited) 2mo

AnneCecilie Thank you 😊 that‘s make sense 2mo

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead It‘s okay. ❤️ Please make sure I‘m on the master list. And if anyone can remember the product for which the tagline was “It‘s a woman‘s prerogative to change her mind,” it will be appreciated. 2mo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! There are some good ones/ones I've been meaning to read here!! 2mo

TheAromaofBooks However, I cannot believe I am already saving things in my Litsy 2025 folder 😑 Where is time going!? 2mo

mcctrish Love it and I can‘t wait #toptierhashtags 2mo

Cuilin Fabulous list. Some I haven‘t read at all. Yay!! 2mo

quietjenn I also forgot to vote, but I'm down with many of these! 2mo

rubyslippersreads I‘m very excited, especially about Lark Rise to Candleford. I love the TV series, so I‘m really looking forward to reading the book. #itsmyoneweakness 2mo

BarkingMadRead @rubyslippersreads I‘ve never seen it, but I‘ll check it out after we finish the book! 2mo

JacqMac There are some good ones on this list. I might have to join in this fun, 2mo

BarkingMadRead @JacqMac let me know if you‘d like to be on the master list. I tag everyone on that list once a month, to see if they want to be tagged daily for the next book 2mo

BarkingMadRead @AnishaInkspill read them however works best for you! 2mo

JacqMac I would love to be on the master list. Thanks! 2mo

peanutnine A great mix of ones I wanted to read and ones I've never heard of! Time to do some research! Can't wait ☺️ 2mo

One of my BOTMs from my brilliant partner! 🥰 Even had a lovely little note written on the front page saying 'to be read with tea + muffins..' 😍 Unfortunately i didn't have breakfast muffins but a chocolate muffin with a tea will do 🥰❤️

MrT Wow. Thats a blast from my past. Read this as a teenager for my English Literature O level back in the 1980s. Remember liking it even though some parts of it were quite trivial and boring. 4y

pick

What a lovely story. Through the trials of 2020, this book, along with the BBC TV adaption of it, simultaneously let my mind escape to another time and place and kept me grounded. I've never read anything like it- a sturdy but delicately carved social history of rural England in the final decades of the nineteenth century with a lacquer of fiction applied to it. ... (continued at https://www.librarything.com/work/14570/reviews/86975755).

bibliothecarivs @Milara I have not read or watched Cranford yet, but the similarity was mentioned in Richard Maybe's introduction to the edition I read (he favoured LRtC because its author was actually from the social world she described) and at one point in the book Laura, the main character, reads Cranford. 4y

so-so

This one isn't in the database. A 100 page illustrated non-fiction book about the life in and around Lark Rise Country, recommended only for fans. It's not bad, but there are lots of pages of charts about current parish attendees and things like that, and I was hoping for a little more non-fiction about what the countryside was like during Flora's life. Still interesting, and a nice reference. Plus, real-life Zillah photos! 👍🏼

LauraBrook Forgot to add this is book 3 for #litsypartyofone! 8y

LeahBergen Oh, cool! 8y

Lark Rise, take me away! Even with avoiding all tv and non-bookish internets, friends are still texting me. Ack, what is going on in this world?!?
#sonervous #eatingmyfeelings #movingabroad

LeahBergen Oh, Lark Rise! I've watched the show and found the book at a charity sale. Have you read it? I haven't got to it yet but it looks just as soothing (😉) as the series. 8y

LauraBrook @LeahBergen Haven't read the book yet either, but my mom remembers the book being similar in tone to the show, so if nothing else, it'll be a good read. Soothing is for sure what is needed today. 8y
