This chapter takes place on July 30th!
I listened to it on the 29th (2025) and posted about it on the 31st 😆
pickIt‘s a great day for some Brontë research! I feel like I‘ve emerged from my chrysalis like a cicada— this past Spring Semester was the hardest so far.
I learned Yiddish, made two websites, did three digital humanities projects, read over a thousand pages, including three textbooks, and wrote over 50 pages.
It sounds weird but, after all that, focusing on just one paper feels almost luxurious.
Recent acquisitions:
📖 George Eliot by Marghanita Laski
📖 A History of the World in 100 Objects: From the Handaxe to the Credit Card by Neil MacGregor
📖 Irish Folk Music and Song by Donal O'Sullivan

Figured now might be a good time to finally read this one, with all things MM fresh in my mind.
pickI loved this novel! I did an immersive read and it took so long! And certainly there were parts that were meandering but I loved the story and I felt so much for all the characters! This is my first GE novel, and she is so good at making you feel drawn towards the humanity of her characters, even through their sins and foibles, the compassion of the narrator made for such a gentle and enjoyable read!
“The secret of our emotions never lies in the bare object, but in its subtle relations to our own past: no wonder the secret escapes the unsympathizing observer, who might as well put on his spectacles to discern odours.“
