#MidwinterSolace #LitSolace

I'm so ready for this tonight. I shall be cosying up with last year's #buddyread Winter Spirits - Ghostly Tales for Frosty Nights. It's so cold and blowing a hooley, again, so it seems like the perfect night to read it. 🌬🍷
What are your plans?

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

kspenmoll I am so ready too. Plan to relax, snuggle with my cats, read by our hopefully fully trimmed tree. That‘s the plan for today, to leisurely trim it ! 🎄 19h
dabbe My new favorite hashtag: Hey, stop getting so revved up; you're #blowingahooley! 🤩😂🤩 18h
AllDebooks @kspenmoll a perfect day 👌 18h
AllDebooks @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣 18h

Been meaning to read this series for some years, and now it‘s time to read the first book as a #buddyread with @Andrew65 and @EadieB 🙂

Andrew65 Looking to start this tonight. All welcome to join us. 😊 23h
EadieB I'm on Chapter 4 as I just started this morning. 18h
Tove_Reads @andrew65 @eadieb I quite like it that the beginning is a bit different, not immediately murder, and with a strong backstory, and the reader doesn‘t know where it‘ll go. 18h
EadieB Right! I like it too! 18h
Andrew65 A positive initial section, with some interesting characters (including a dog). An intriguing prologue. I‘ve read up to chapter 15 but likely a couple of hours more before I have time to read on. @EadieB @Tove_Reads 17h

I'm currently participating in the final #hashtagbrigade #buddyread of the year. 10ish chapters left, and I just don't care anymore. I've never read a book with more loose ends, dead ends, and 'we won't talk about that' plot devices in my life. Thank goodness for @BarkingMadRead keeping us sane and the humour flowing. Otherwise, I would have bailed around chapter 10!
FYI, I got bored and did a word count. 🙄😅
⬇️

AllDebooks Word count results - Hither 158; Thither -53; Whither - 58; Crying + cry - 36; Weeping + weep + wept - 176; Fainting + faint - 175 😱 3d

AllDebooks Sorry, I should have been reading tonight's chapter but got distracted 😅 3d
Librarybelle Word count dedication! 3d
BarkingMadRead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 3d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead Just so you know, it was on Kindle. I didn't sit there with a book and highlighter. I do have a life! 😅 3d
BarkingMadRead But still. You had to do the search 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d
AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead 😬 you got me 3d
dabbe I managed to get through THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV thanks to this group and @BarkingMadRead's hilarious posts and @Aimeesue's hysterical dioramas, but this one? I bailed at Book 2. And I had also tried to read it a few years ago. I just couldn't do it. Again. Writing that goes on and on an on and on with tears all over the place and too many descriptions and meandering everywhere ... bleh! I'll be up for the January read, though! 🤩 3d
mcctrish @dabbe The Bros was better ( never thought I‘d say that ) 3d
Bookwormjillk @mcctrish you know it‘s a bad book when #thebrosarebetter 3d
mcctrish @AllDebooks the fainting count surprises me, I must have fainted myself and missed then but all those ithers I have felt and I attribute them to the author‘s dithering 3d
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s mind boggling 3d
Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 The Bros! Slightly less histrionic than The Mysteries of Udolfo! 2d
mcctrish @Ruthiella there was no crying 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2d
Clare-Dragonfly Brilliant word counting 😂 2d
eeclayton Wow 😲 2d
AllDebooks @Clare-Dragonfly it's telling that I would rather do that than read the bloody thing. 😅 2d
TheAromaofBooks It honestly seems like there should be more crying 😂 Maybe we should add “tears“ to the word count?? Poor Emily, it just seems like her eyes must be swollen shut all the time! 2d
dabbe @mcctrish Well, that makes me feel a wee bit better. And you even helped me through a few chapters, and I still couldn't get through it! 🤩😂🤩 2d
mcctrish @dabbe you‘ve honestly missed nothing cuz nothing ever happens 2d
mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks it‘s amazing she can see anything 2d
