DieAReader @CBee It‘s been on my tbr for a number of years & I‘m really looking forward to reading it with the #hashtagbrigade Something about it has always felt intimidating to me. I feel the same about 12h
DieAReader @CoverToCoverGirl 🤞🏻🤨better than 12h
CBee @DieAReader I think it‘s because I read it during a dark time in my life and it made me feel less alone. An Unquiet Mind was a good one too. But, I can see how they‘d both seem intimidating. 12h
DieAReader @CBee 🤓I believe I was drawn to them both for the same reason🫂💖 only I wasn‘t ready for them yet. (edited) 9h
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! 5h

Cuilin This chapter helped me understand how they made a tv show. Tommy and Mr William seem good sorts. The Baker family with their 8 kids, Ruby and Pearl! 23h

Ruthiella @Cuilin I‘ve not seen the show but have wondered what they might have pulled from the book, what they might leave out, what they might embellish… 21h
TheAromaofBooks The story about the guy just wandering off for a YEAR?! I need MORE DETAILS on where he was and on poor Mrs. Macey's sketchy missing husband 😂 21h
willaful Maybe I was spoiled by book 2 but I'm having so much trouble getting interested in this one! Just dying for it to be over already, 20h
KAO @TheAromaofBooks Agreed! Where in the world was this man for an entire YEAR?! And the mystery of Mrs. Macey‘s husband off with “his gentleman” is very suspicious. I‘m betting we never find out more about these, but I hope I‘m wrong! 12h
willaful @KAO Any other author, we definitely would. For this one, odds are against us! 8h

Cuilin @AllDebooks i laughed when she said that Dickens books were available at the library, but nobody wanted to read them, they were a society ready for radio. Cute. 2d
Bookwormjillk I really want to go to one too! 2d
mcctrish The Heart of the Midlothian ❤️❤️ I have just inhaled Fourth Wing and now I‘ve come back down to earth with this nonsense 2d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m reading Iron Flame right now! 2d

willaful Yeah, back to the lack of narrative. 😂 Joe's story made me very sad, because my daughter is disabled and I worry so much about what will happen when we're gone, especially now. I bet poor Joe's mother was fretted to death about it. 3d

BarkingMadRead @willaful I worked with special needs kids before I retired, and stuff like this makes me crazy. I have zero patience for it 3d
Bookwormjillk So random. I thought it was because I was sleepy and dozing off, but then I went back to read again and nope. Just random. 3d
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I had so much trouble focusing 🤣 3d
Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm guessing still no plot? 😆 3d
TheAromaofBooks I've always read about calf's foot jelly in old books as a great delicacy, and I can see why after reading about how time-consuming and complicated it is to make... but I definitely don't want to try it! 😐 3d
BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig I feel like we got teased with some plot and then it was snatched away 🤣 3d
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks hard pass 🤣🤣 3d
AllDebooks Some things belong in the past, like that jelly 🫣 3d
Cuilin @AllDebooks the jelly and fox hunting!! 3d
dabbe I gotta admit, I skimmed through this chapter and read like this: the dull green blahblahblah ... the interesting green ... blahblahblah ... fox hunting omg skip ... disgusting jelly omg skip ... blahblahblah reverend and wife then both die + congregation ... blahblahblah done. 😂 3d
willaful I had trouble concentrating too. Thought it was the ambien. 😂 3d
mcctrish How we get from #outwiththeoldinwiththenew clergy to Luney Joe to who takes a bath where and when is beyond me @dabbe there‘s skip and then there is skim 2d
Bklover @willaful This made me laugh!!😂😂 2d
willaful @Bklover glad to be of service. :-) 2d
dabbe @mcctrish Perhaps a skip would be better--as in today's chapter as well! #oy 2d
mcctrish @dabbe maybe skip to the end 🤣🤣🤣 2d
dabbe @mcctrish If you will, I will. 🤩 But since I did do that for verdant-verdure UDOLPHO, I feel obligated to see this through. Sooooooo close! 😂 2d
mcctrish @dabbe we are so close it has to count either way 🤣🤣😆 2d

My January #BookSpinBingo board—with no bingos. I didn‘t realize how close I was until yesterday, but my reading slate is so full right now I probably wouldn‘t have been able to squeeze in that one center square anyway (I‘ve been too free with the library holds lately!). With four read for #AuldLangSpine including my #DoubleSpin, plus #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead, #OokBOokClub and keeping up with the #HashtagBrigade, it was a good reading month!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic month!!! 3d

#BookReport

I continued my yearlong reads on the right

I finished Hard Time #WhatTheDickens and Lark Rise to Candleford #Hashtagbrigade.

I continued The Valley of Fear #NoPlaceLikeHolmes and started Rest is Resistance #SheSaid

I continued listening to the tagged

I read An Academic Question

The author event this week was cancelled, so I started Beautyland instead, but so far I‘m not sure what I feel about it

BarbaraJean The sneaking around with Don Juan was SO relatable. There are so many books I've read just because someone told me I shouldn't!! 4d

Bookwormjillk Very relatable chapter for most of us I'm sure. 4d
Cuilin I know I seem to be always asking questions, but has anybody seen Mr. Bates V the Post Office? Because I was screaming “don‘t sign it Laura!!!!“ I liked how she was learning Morse code for telegrams. That‘s pretty cool. 4d
dabbe Miss Lane tried to enforce a banning of a book! Which of course made Laura want to read it. 😂 That's the positive way of looking at people who try to ban books from kids, right? 4d
willaful I enjoyed the detail in this chapter.

A friend of mine moved to Switzerland, where a lot of services are still done by the post office, and he is very much a fan.
4d
KAO Ah! Sneaking a book away to read in bed! That‘s our book-loving girl! 4d
mcctrish @KAO my thoughts exactly 4d
