Checked this out from my local library. I don't have this book. I enjoyed reading this book. This was one of my grandma's favorite authors. I rated the book a 4 out of 5 stars.

Shirley by Charlotte Bronte | Charlotte Bront

Shirley and Caroline are getting to be friends and have great talks about Yorkshire, nature, poetry, and love...but Shirley will. not. stop bringing up Robert Moore. Girl is fishing and even though I genuinely like her so far, it is so irritating. #MindYourBusinessShirl #GoWhistleAHappyTune #StayFocusedOnYourMill #WhatDoesHisLetterSay #HashtagBrigade

I read this from my partner‘s, @Yenya1954 #AuldLangSpine list. The cover and cadence of the book is right up my alley. I enjoyed the story - of a doctor who suffered great loss which leads him to abandon his practice. He hides on a small lake next door to his BIL. Then, as we‘d expect, he is drawn back into his profession. I enjoyed main storyline and the likable characters. I didn‘t care for all of the cardiac details.

#SetInALrgCity
My mind automatically goes to NYC when I think of “large cities.“ This is a city I haven't been to for quite awhile, but I *have* visited 4 times and still retain vivid memories of each visit. From going to a reading by Diane di Prima on St Mark's & the next day visiting the old MoMa to my most recent visit shortly after the opening of the new MoMa, as well as seeing The Producers on Broadway (showing my age). Of course all (Cont)

vivastory of the bookstores: first stop-St Mark's, then The Strand but must save money for special edition art books for the exhibits. Metropolitan, the new MoMa, the Guggenheim.
One of my favorite reads of '25 was the tagged epic, where Brooklyn became as much of a character as the rest. While visiting I was always aware that I was only visiting & that there were people having to make ends meet however they could. Lethem illustrated this wonderfully.

Catching up on #celebrate:
Day 1: Technically the song by Bowie was based on the Orwell book, but who am I to argue with brilliance? A politician who vehemently argues that they not only are not a politician, but would be willing to lock up and if not kill then be complicit In the murder of journalists, political opponents, engaging in regime change, .. icing on the cake? A coup against the US capitol led by someone with a Viking helmet...WWOD?

mcctrish This could go absolutely sideways - Robert is the most eligible of eligible bachelors - Shirley knows Caroline likes him and he potentially likes C BUT Robert would fit in nicely with her inheritance, perhaps let her be Boss Lady? Oy Vey! 3h

lil1inblue I love Shirley and Caroline's budding friendship! But I'm so nervous about the Robert of it all. 3h
eeclayton Shirley has mentionitis, not a good sign! @lil1inblue I enjoyed the budding friendship, too. 2h
willaful What is she doing, talking up the man she loves! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Or is she trying to warn Shirley?

I get why she's so sure she'll be an old maid now... apparently there literally isn't anyone else of the right social standing to marry?!

willaful Anyone else getting some “Emma“ vibes? 2h
