mcctrish Lots of describy words is right. Honestly do we even know and like V? It seems like we went zero to 60 with this guy and it‘s only when we can‘t have him that we LLLLOOOVVVEEE him, he‘s been an obsessive from the start #redflag #alertnoisessounding this is giving extreme YA vibes 7h

AllDebooks Oh god, now for the sonnets. 😱 7h

AllDebooks @mcctrish Regarding V's attention to E, #lovebombed comes to mind 🚩💣🚩 7h

Bookwormjillk 🎶 on the road again 🎶 7h

mcctrish @AllDebooks I skip all the sonnets unless they are < 4 lines #justsayno and yes Emily has been #lovebombed between V and her aunt pulling a 180° with her opinions I almost understand why she cries so much, she never gets a moment to process anything (edited) 7h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I 💯 skimmed those sonnets 🤣 7h

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead so did I 😅 7h

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead for sure #LifeIsTooShortToReadBadSonnets 7h

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 7h

Clare-Dragonfly Oh I‘m totally skipping the sonnets 🫣 6h

dabbe Wait until tomorrow's chapter. #onehugelylongsonnetattheend It makes the chapter 2 pages shorter. 😄 5h

Bklover I get very excited when I see the sonnets because I just zoom on by! Glad I‘m not the only one @AllDebooks @mcctrish @dabbe @BarkingMadRead Oh, and where do they go to relieve themselves while trekking through the mountains?! #noportapottiesinsight (edited) 2h

Bookwormjillk I'll admit I had to do audio for this chapter. 2d

mcctrish This chapter actually worked for me. Auntie makes my head spin with her saying one thing and then taking a 180° 2d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish auntie has things finally getting interesting! 2d

AllDebooks Finally, something more yhan weeping and walks, walks and weeping! 2d

Ruthiella @AllDebooks Just wait until she starts spontaneously writing sonnets. (edited) 2d

AllDebooks @Ruthiella 😅 2d

CatLass007 Would you please remove me from your tag list for #HashtagBrigade? Everyone is great but I want to cut back on some of my buddy reads. Thanks 😚 2d

Clare-Dragonfly I had a hard time following all the dialogue in this but I got the gist. Specifically that Auntie is a social-climbing moron. 2d

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Can I add “bitch“ to your most excellent comment? As in #socialclimbingmoronbitch ... #scmb for short (which could also read as “scumbag“). 😄 2d

BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2d

Bklover First of all, why does Valencourt keep showing up like a creeper? He always appears from behind a tree or something. Second, Auntie is a scheming witch but at least she‘s interesting- I think she‘s going to be a fun one to hate! 2d

julieclair @Bklover I freely admit I am hating Auntie and enjoying it! As @dabbe says, #scmb . 😂 2d

dabbe @julieclair YES! #scmb You know, it's better just thinking it as “scum“! 🤩😂🤗 2d

Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe Bahahaha, perfect! 😂 2d

ElizaMarie @bklover! Yes!!! Such a #SneakySneak didn‘t we learn he has good breeding? Why are you such a #WeirdoCreeper !? 2d

ElizaMarie Also. I am numb to tears and weeping…. 2d

TheBookHippie I had to bail. Just couldn‘t get into it. Too much going on here. 4d

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie totally get it! Do you want me to take you off of the tag list? @Bookwormjillk I just knew it! Yikes! 4d

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead oh don‘t do extra work. 😝 3d

rubyslippersreads @TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I‘ve bailed too. Too many other books calling my name. But leave me on the tag list; I might check in to see how you‘re all doing. 😁 3d

mcctrish Don‘t forget more crying 😭 😭 also getting Cinderella vibes with the remote room and only the dog for a friend 3d

Bklover @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I‘m very concerned about the dog! I can‘t believe that witch stuck her in a teeny tiny room. It‘s just guaranteed to make her cry more! 🙄. And I wonder who feeds the dog and takes him potty, etc. Anyway. @BarkingMadRead V still seems creepy to me. 3d

AnishaInkspill I read this last year and finished with a mixed reaction, where I would read this again though it took me 5 months to read it 3d

Clare-Dragonfly @Bklover Oh, I‘m sure they have servants to do that, just like at home! St Aubert died so terribly poor, Emily can only afford to keep one servant at the house she‘s not even living in! How ever will she manage 😂 3d

Bklover Exactly!!!😂🤣😂 3d

ElizaMarie Ha I am curious how old V is. This will help me decide if he is a #Creeper. Also… now the doggie gets to hear her cry more! 3d

julieclair @ElizaMarie Good question about V‘s age! I always assumed he was in his mid-twenties, but he could certainly be much older. Then he‘d be a #Creeper for sure. 2d

AllDebooks This was very frustrating. Spill the T Radclyffe 😕 4d

mcctrish At present I‘d say the mystery is how anyone reads this 4d

AllDebooks @mcctrish so much repetition!! 4d

mcctrish @AllDebooks every time there is a chance of something happening - nope! We see gypsies, ooo what‘s going to happen? Nothing. Dad holding miniature portrait - nothing, papers to read, burn em and nothing 4d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂 4d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s a lot of words and a lot of crying for nothing 4d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I don‘t mind it when the chapters are short, but sometimes I see 23 minutes in the chapter on my kindle and I want to cry right along with her. A lot of people love this book so hopefully something other than dying parents and crying happens soon. 4d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m reading on serial and when it says the chapter continues to more than one section I too want to cry 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t believe it said she read a bit but won‘t tell us what that bit is!!! So unfair. And auntie… she‘s obnoxious but she‘s not wrong about people who look good not necessarily being good. 4d

Bklover I‘m hoping Auntie spices things up a bit! I do think, though, that Auntie is going to cause more crying and fainting. There has to be some excitement coming soon! 4d

eeclayton @mcctrish same! I would never get through this if it wasn't for the #hashtagbrigade ! 3d

eeclayton I was actually proud of Emily for not saying yes to V right away. But this is about the only positive thing I can say about the story so far. 3d

julieclair So. Much. Crying. I switched to audio and it has helped me to enjoy the story more. (Not sure why…) 2d

Bookwormjillk So much crying. Quick chapter today. 5d

AllDebooks @mcctrish Emily must be so dehydrated 😭 5d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk they crying is a bit easier when it‘s a short chapter 5d

mcctrish @AllDebooks she‘s got to be a husk by now 5d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish for sure. I feel like I‘m bringing bad karma for rolling my eyes at her. I would do the same in real life but it doesn‘t really make for an interesting book. 5d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk same, I‘m talking out loud while I read “let me guess, she starts to cry” 🙄 5d

Clare-Dragonfly Oh yeah, Valancourt, I‘m sure you were sooooo surprised to see Emily there. 🙄 5d

StaceGhost The amount of times I‘ve wanted to reach in & shake her 5d

Bklover @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks @Clare-Dragonfly @StaceGhost After I finished the chapter I immediately came here to see the comments. This is why I love reading with @BarkingMadRead - y‘all are so funny. The crying and feeling faint are driving me nuts 😵‍💫 4d

Ruthiella @mcctrish She cries constantly throughout this book. Do not make a drinking game of it. You will get drunk. 6d

mcctrish @Ruthiella 🤣🤣🤣 but what?! 6d

AnishaInkspill poor Emily,she cries alot, @Ruthiella, along with its heightened emotions, this is one of the things I found hardest about this read whilst other parts were amazing

The Scarlet Pimpernel

Bklover @mcctrish The crying and fainting is definitely getting a bit tiresome. @Ruthiella It never stops?!! Oh boy! 6d

Bklover I certainly hope she reads them! Or at least lets us read them!😁😉 1w

mcctrish @Bklover @Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly why bring them up if we aren‘t getting to know what‘s in them! Mysterious woman, mysterious papers 🤔 1w

dabbe Pops also has memories of a woman who is not Emily's mother. And he recognized the name of the person who owned the creepy house/castle/haunt/whatever-the-heck-you-want-to-call-it. Here comes the Gothic! I also vote to add the word “sublime“ to “verdant“ and “verdure“. And am I awful to say that if I see any more scenery, I am going to 🤢? Oh, and great to send Pops on an adventure when the guy can barely walk. #wtf? 6d

BarkingMadRead @dabbe so many mysteries, and yessss sublime is also overused 🤣 6d

This is so much fun to read— great descriptions of nature and totally unrealistic characters but such a fascinating piece to reflect on and, dare I say, rail against? It seems I do.

Also I‘m pretty sure I should be getting ready to teach classes next week but um, there‘s this guy Valancourt who just showed up…so I‘m going to have to finish this chapter first. Close up of my cozy office shelf for the vibes

dabbe Love those vibes! 🩶🖤🩶 3mo

StaceGhost @dabbe thank yooou ✨💕🪦 3mo
