Bookwormjillk Bye Tom 👋 The short chapters made this a good pick for chapter a day IMO. 2w

mcctrish That chapter just went downhill fast 2w

Leftcoastzen I feel for Tully ,where else could you borrow from than your family, yet so often used as manipulation. 1w

mcctrish Some of the things she can‘t do I figure she could if she put her mind to it - winning all the prizes must mean she can memorize shit like a boss ( I‘m not talking about shorthand - she can write her own letters) the white, black and yellow men comment was 😳 2mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish so 😳 the things people said back then 🙄🤮 2mo

willaful @BarkingMadRead @mctrish Not to mention the “suspiciously thick lips.“ 😬 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish talk about a lack of belief in yourself!! The homemade rug made me think about the current conversation about trad wives. Some podcast bros think their grandmothers were perfect not understanding they didn‘t want to stay home or have their lives controlled too. Some had less options. 2mo

mcctrish Ah the podcast bros who know everything @Cuilin 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly The famous fig tree metaphor! And then on the next page she goes “oh, maybe I was just hungry.” 😂😂😂 I love it. 2mo

dabbe As I go deeper into this story with Esther, I want to rush to her NYC hotel, give her a hug, and tell her that it'll be alright. 💚 2mo

tpixie It was funny reading about the rug- a coinkydink- my kindergartner granddaughter was reading a reading assignment that mentioned a rag rug. I was explaining to her what a rag rug was. The next day I read this chapter! That sure was another weird date! (edited) 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin this is a first time read for me 2mo

mcctrish 43 by 5 blocks is a lot to walk. I love that she was no worse for the wear shoe wise afterwards and that she knows a bath cures everything. I feel like letting Doreen in would have been a bad idea but leaving her outside the door in a puddle of her own vomit is a level of No fucks to give I need to aspire to 😳 2mo

mcctrish First time for me 2mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead oh good, I had heard of it, of course, but I didn‘t really know much about it and it‘s turning out to be completely different than what I thought. I‘m intrigued. But also worried. 😟 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish I don‘t know I could‘ve left a friend with a Lenny!! 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin I love it so much - after udolpho and the bros and Lark Rise it just feels like the words are precise and measured and specific and the story just zips right out and grabs me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin Doreen has a bit of Mike Tyson in her, I think she‘s going to be fine 🤣🤣 (edited) 2mo

willaful @mcctrish Not so much in New York. Long walks are easy there.

This chapter was disturbing and I kind of wished I was back in Candleford. Doreen could easily have died. 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish The writing style is so much more accessible, it‘s fabulous because we can focus on the plot, oh and it has a plot. Looking at you Lark Rise. 👀 2mo

mcctrish @Cuilin 🤣🤣🤣 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @willaful I 💯 agree, I don‘t think I could have left her there. She was obviously not in a position to make any kind of decision or to fight back! 2mo

mcctrish @willaful sensible shoes for the win 2mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead @willaful She also asked her not to leave her alone with him!!! (edited) 2mo

Librarybelle My first time reading this too, @Cuilin , and it‘s different than what I anticipated. I‘m not sure what I thought this would be, but it‘s just different. However, I‘m liking it so far! 2mo

Cuilin @mcctrish I hope so 🤛 2mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle I had images of a domestic setting for some reason 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

Bookwormjillk I wouldn‘t have left Doreen there, but also I probably wouldn‘t have left the hotel in the first place and just skipped right to the bath. Lenny- what a goof ball. (edited) 2mo

Bookwormjillk Also I read this as a teen, so my memory is only foggy and I might be getting details confused with a Christopher Pike book. 2mo

DieAReader 🙋🏻‍♀️First time for me. 😱😳Never would‘ve left Doreen like that. I also think leaving her in the hallway like that was both dangerous & irresponsible. The whole situation kinda pissed me off tbh🤬🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo

dabbe This is my first read, but I know a bit about it. Plath died just one month after its publication in the UK. 😟 And it's semi-autobiographical. I'm already noticing so many allusions to death and dying just in the first two chapters. And I'm worried, too, @Cuilin. 😱 2mo

tpixie @dabbe @cullin it‘s my first read also. This book is bringing on a lot of feels!! 😅🥺😳 2mo

TheAromaofBooks Could you add me to the tag list, please? My copy came from the library - I've never read this one so I have no idea where it's going! 2mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks gotcha! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly This is a first-time read for me, too. Our girl is making a lot of bad decisions but she is very young! 2mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin First time read for me --- and The bath bit -- yes! #Truth! 2mo

ElizaMarie I mean, I get that Doreen asked her not to leave her - but... also, Doreen is not a good friend either. I mean, leaving your friend and putting your friend in that position to leave you --- it just is all messy! 2mo

CogsOfEncouragement My first read. What was in those drinks? I‘m not necessarily holding it against her that she left, because it seems something else was at play. When she was seeing her drink was below the design on the glass, then above it. What was real? Did Doreen really bite his ear? She is super groggy when she leaves Doreen in the hallway, just hungover? or something more? Anticipating not getting answers to any of these questions though. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @CogsOfEncouragement so many unanswered questions! We are scarred from previous books 🤣 #zerotrust 2mo

tpixie @CogsOfEncouragement that drink level made me think Lenny was over pouring her… 2mo

Take a Stand, Rosa Parks | Peter Roop

pick

A great nonfiction book that I would have in my classroom. It is an inspirational story about Rosa Parks who stayed in her seat on the bus instead of moving when asked.

dabbe And the conversation between Rowena and Wilmet about Harry? Just a wee bit awkward. Though the way these women talk to each other (well, the men, too, for that matter) reminds me of Wharton's upper class New Yorkers in the Gilded Age. The pic for today NAILED it, @BarkingMadRead! 🤩 1y
