JamieArc Looking forward to snuggling in to read my chapter tonight. I did order a pretty edition so it‘ll help make me want to pick it up. 2y
BarkingMadRead @JamieArc I love pretty books!! 2y
Bklover I suppose it is way too early to think D is a bit of a weirdo. 2y
Deblovestoread The problem with too many books…you can‘t find a book you know you own…I will be getting a late start 🤦🏻♀️ 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bklover I thought the same thing! #daddyissues @Deblovestoread I feel that in my soul! 2y
MoonWitch94 @Bklover @BarkingMadRead I thought so, too. I‘m hoping it changes….. 2y
CoffeeNBooks @Bklover I can't decide yet if she's a weirdo, or if she's trying to live up to what she thinks is the expectation of utmost propriety for the time. Although, still a bit of a weirdo- Celia definitely doesn't seem as strange. 😄 2y
Clare-Dragonfly I have read this book a couple times but I have no idea who this illustration is supposed to be 😆 I don‘t remember ANY of the women having much to do with horses! 2y
Clare-Dragonfly P. S. Dorothea is totally a weirdo and I love her. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly this was the chapter opener in my book 🤣 I guess because they keep saying Dorothea looks great on a 🐎🤣 2y
DebinHawaii I‘m going to try with a cheap Dover Classics on Kindle for now. Can you add me to the tags, please? 🤗 2y
TheAromaofBooks Oh my gosh! I totally forgot about this buddy read!!! Off to read chapter one 😂 2y
Bookwormjillk The thing I loved about this chapter was how much we learned about the sisters by seeing how they divided up the jewelry. I don‘t have a good cover to share, just a kindle version. 2y
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! The way they interacted with each other said so much! 2y
JamieArc Dorothea on horseback riding: “she felt she enjoyed it in a pagan, sensuous way, and always looked forward to renouncing it.” This line made me chortle 🤭 2y
BarkingMadRead @JamieArc such a good line 2y
RebelReader I think I already like this one more than Villette and I like Dorothea mostly because she is weird and different from Cecelia 2y
Bklover @RebelReader I agree. May make this one more interesting! 2y
Aimeesue Oh, Dodo, piety is all well and good, but such strict adherence to it doesn't often lead to a happy life, I think. Live a little! Enjoy the emeralds! (Exposing myself as a hedonist right at the start, I suppose, but life is meant to be ENJOYED, is it not?) (edited) 2y
TheBookHippie @JamieArc my favorite part!!! Spit my coffee out laughing 😝😵💫🤯 2y
TheBookHippie @Aimeesue I agree. Don‘t be so boxed in. 2y
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead 🤣🤣🤣👀 2y
rubyslippersreads So far, I kind of want to smack Dorothea, and I think that feeling will only intensify as I keep reading. 😏 2y
BarkingMadRead @rubyslippersreads 🤣🤣🤣 2y
LitStephanie @Bklover oh no I don't think it's too early. 😆 2y
julieclair @JamieArc I loved that line!! 😂 Maybe she will look forward to renouncing the emeralds, too, but wear them in the meantime! 😉 2y
