This book was a difficult read… bleak and depressing… but also very important. Plath‘s writing is incredible… so immersive. I‘m glad I read this with my #hashtagbrigade friends, led by the fabulous #BarkingMadRead . I‘m not sure I would have finished it on my own. When I reached the end, I was doing fine. And then I read the epilogue, which was a recap of Plath‘s life. Ugh. It plunged me back into despair. So sad.,😭

Bookwormjillk Yeah the story of Plath‘s life put a damper on the happy ending of The Bell Jar. 1d

#Pemberlittens I'm just here for @BarkingMadRead Memes and #HashtagBrigade.

Y'all I tried for over 7 hours on audio. I can't do 29 more hours of run-on sentences and random rants. I watched a 3 minute YouTube synopsis. https://youtu.be/7gnRqH-SA1E?si=uugEH6xuwyqjfThe I'm good. 🙄 #thebros

IndoorDame I‘ve been finding lately that classics on audio tend to be soporific unless the narrator is exceptionally talented. I think The Bros (or anything translated from Russian) might be especially tough to listen to. 13mo

Pip2 I‘ve been bailing way more than in the past. Way too many books out there that feed the soul. Why waste your time and energy torturing yourself to finish something you‘re not going to love and get something from if only enjoyment. I have this on my to be read, and based on what I know. I strongly believe I will be bailing at page 50. 13mo
SamAnne I bailed on D‘s Demons. I‘m sticking with this one just because it is a chapter a day, and #Barkingmadread is hilarious and captures the ridiculousness of it all. 13mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @BarkingMadRead yes please! I'm enjoying the memes! 13mo
