#BookReport for March

Not a great reading month. Not at Home was my favourite for the month.

I read about half of this before deciding to ditch—more of a focus on potential romantic tension than actually telling the story.

March wrap up. Not At Home and Here One Moment are tied for my favorites.

A darkish totally gray cloud morning. Perfect for hot blueberry scone , clotted cream & coffee. Off to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford for a cafe lunch & to view Divine Geometry: Islamic Art at the Wadsworth Atheneum.

TheKidUpstairs Sounds like a lovely day, enjoy! 3d
quietlycuriouskate That sounds like a beautiful day! 3d

I don't know that I've ever been so glad to finish a book! The end was satisfying and I loved Elinor throughout (and Maxine! And Mory!) but this was super stressful reading! 😵‍💫 Langley Moore has created an absolutely diabolical character in Mrs Bankes. Despite the tension, this was really good.

Ruthiella Awesome! Would the end be so satisfying if the beginning hadn‘t got under our skin the way it did? 🤔 1w
LeahBergen You made it through! 😆😆 1w
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella No, I think we definitely have to go through all the trauma to properly enjoy the ending. 😱 1w
bookandbedandtea @LeahBergen I feel so relieved! What an uncomfortable story. 😬😁 1w

I have to agree with Miss MacFarren and Joss. Antonia should be kept far away from animals. Like others, this book is kind of stressing me out 🤣

LeahBergen I know!!! 😬😬 2w
Sace @bookandbedandtea the…dog? I haven‘t gotten there yet, but I‘m getting the impression I am going to be upset. 2w

Ruthiella It totally stressed me out too. Hang in there. 😥👍 2w
bookandbedandtea @Sace I'm so sorry! I had just read that part, and, being quite upset myself, I wasn't thinking of being careful about spoilers. Again, I'm sorry to have mentioned it. But, yes, brace yourself. 2w
Sace @bookandbedandtea no worries at all! I had already seen some comments so I suspected something anyway. 1w

Y'all! Mrs Bankes hasn't even moved in yet (although a bunch of her stuff has been sent) and I. Am. Stressing. Out!

bookandbedandtea @LeahBergen I read a few more chapters this evening then had to give myself a break. Guess I'll be reading this a little at a time. 🫣 2w
