mcctrish I think her remains are in the veiled portrait 10h

mcctrish Also could the aunt shut up for one second and let Emily finish a thought on how to handle macaroni?! And could Emily shut up and listen to Annette ?! 10h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish nobody listens to anybody 🙄 10h

Clare-Dragonfly Right?! Emily is always making fun of Annette for talking a lot but just like… have a dang conversation. 9h

#Two4Tuesday is my fav question, thanks @TheSpineView

1/ I tend to plan ahead what I read, one of my favourite things is lining up future reads.

2/ I'm going to go for the #currentread for #hashtagbrigade, this one didn't go to plan, it took me 5 months to read and I was sure when I finished I'd think never again but no, it's left an impression and I would definitely read again, next time I'm hoping it doesn't take this long.

TheSpineView So glad you enjoy #Two4Tuesday Thanks for playing along! 😘 16h

AllDebooks #backtobed 🤣🤣🤣 1d

mcctrish This. Was. Bonkers. Also does Ann use up all her words describing the scenery and has none left over for the actual stuff? And by stuff I mean papers that get burned and portraits that make you faint 1d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for real though! 1d

Clare-Dragonfly This was such a long chapter but at least stuff happened? Very annoyed that we don‘t get to see what‘s behind the curtain. My money is on a dead body. ☠️ 1d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I would love it if it was a dead body, we need some action. 1d

TheAromaofBooks I literally looked up spoilers to see what was behind the curtain because I couldn't deal with not knowing! 😂 1d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks Omg you know?!? Don‘t tell me. But omg. No. Don‘t tell me. Ahhhhhhh 1d

Bklover @TheAromaofBooks I think you just gave me my justification to peek. 🫣 😊😊 1d

Bookwormjillk Finished this chapter at exactly 11:59 pm. You know it‘s a long one when the hashtags extend into the comments. I giggled a bit when Auntie was like”whatever.” 1d

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @Bklover - I have to confess to the fact that I'm a spoiler lover 😂I don't like being stressed when I'm reading so sometimes I just gotta know! 😆 21h

Clare-Dragonfly I was glad to see that Manchon is still around! 21h

Bookwormjillk Macaroni‘s This is Udolpho gives Welcome to Jurassic Park vibes 2d

AllDebooks At last, we get to the mysteries. I switched to audiobook and am more attentive. My eyes were glazing over reading the text, what with the scenery, crying, more crying, pantomime drama/villian. I know so many people who love this gothic classic, that I don't want to bail. Here's hoping Radcliffe #RampsUpTheSpooky 2d

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks I‘m hoping that now, after 18 chapters, we‘ll start getting the good stuff. The veiled portrait seems like a promising start right? 2d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk first she doesn‘t read the papers, now she doesn‘t look at the portrait , this girl is killing me! 2d

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I‘m sure she will if she can ever find it again 2d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk 🤞 I hope so. 2d

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead she reminds me of Ruth, with all her timid, obedient goodness. Where's your curiosity at girl? #SneakAPeek 2d

mcctrish Am I the only one who wonders if the mystery woman is the one Emily‘s dad had a picture of? Also honestly I feel like there was slightly less crying 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Hooray, something is happening! Other than Emily being mean to Annette. Hoping for a ghost sighting 🤞🏻 @mcctrish Ooh, I bet you‘re right! 2d

peanutnine @mcctrish I thought the same thing! Hopefully she can find the portrait again in that maze of a castle 2d

mcctrish @peanutnine does Emily actually keep anything ? Why did she burn those papers ?! 2d

See All 10 Comments

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie you‘re definitely numb 🤣🤣🤣 4d

mcctrish There was crying @ElizaMarie alone and in company, silent tears and sobs. Truthfully the frustration of this would make me cry BUT just like the boy who cried wolf #toomanytearshavebeenshed #suckitupbuttercup marry a count they said, it will be fun 4d

ElizaMarie Ha! I assumed as much! @mcctrish and @BarkingMadRead —- after reading this chapter I was thinking there was less crying but… maybe I am #ZoningOut during these moments! 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Why on earth does the count even want to marry someone who is so uninterested in marrying him?! And I don‘t understand why she doesn‘t tell him about Valancourt. I was shocked to realize she hadn‘t already told him. 4d

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly it‘s hard to get a word out between sobs truthfully 4d

eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly I was wondering about the same thing. The girl is clearly not interested, and it's not like it would be super fun to marry into the Macaroni family 🫤 3d

AllDebooks If only they had editor's in the 18th century. Less crying, more plot. 3d

Ruthiella 😂😂😂 5d

TheAromaofBooks Still not through this chapter, why is it five million pages long in tiny print?! 😂 5d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks we are in hell 🔥 hopefully the next one is short. But is it‘s not, please don‘t tell me. Ignorance is bliss 🤣 4d

mcctrish We are in hell! I mean shit was going down but it was never ending shit! #hoodwinkedbymacaroni 👎🏻👎🏻 and the aunt is all #suckstobeyou #thisismadness plus we need sandbags #toomanytears 4d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 4d

Blueberry 🥴😭 4d

kwmg40 Fortunately, I had a long drive today and managed this chapter with the Librivox audiobook. 4d

Clare-Dragonfly I STARTED READING THIS CHAPTER LAST NIGHT IN BED AND NOW IM HAVING DINNER AND I FINALLY FINISHED IT 4d

Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk 😆😆🤣🤣🤣 4d

Clare-Dragonfly Anyway, Emily is an idiot and nobody knows how to communicate in this book. 4d

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣🤣 4d

Bklover Still. Not. Finished. Keep falling asleep. 😵😵‍💫 4d

julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly 💯🎯 4d

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly truth. They just talk in circles. 4d

eeclayton I have no idea what Catherine Morland liked in this book 🤔 4d

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton I‘m really hoping it‘s something we haven‘t gotten to yet, because I‘m reallllly wondering how she made it far enough to love it 🤣 4d

Clare-Dragonfly @eeclayton I‘ve been thinking the same thing. Maybe she had an abridged version 😂 4d

eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly That makes sense! Like The Princess Bride, the good parts version! 😂 @BarkingMadRead I certainly hope we'll get to the good parts soon! 4d

peanutnine If I wasn't listening to the audiobook, I would have thrown the book during this chapter. So long and the gaslighting ugh 😵‍💫😤😡🙄😩 2d

Lark Rise to Candleford (Penguin Modern Classics) | Flora Thompson

Ok #hashtagbrigade you have voted and here are the winners! I tried to make sure we are only reading a chapter a day, so a few of the start dates are a little weird, we may be able to play around with it as we go, but here are the winning books! I‘m super excited about this line up!!!
Everyone is welcome! I have a master list that I will use before we start each book, and will only tag you for each book if you reply to each announcement.. ⬇️

BarkingMadRead Just remember that my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read the post until you‘ve read that day‘s chapter! 5d

Daisey I completely forgot to vote, but I‘m looking forward to some of these choices! 5d

AllDebooks Great books to look forward to 😊 5d

Ruthiella Awesome! Call wait. 😅 5d

Deblovestoread Great list! I‘m going to do better in 2025 🤞🏼 5d

Librarybelle Great list! Looking forward to these!! 5d

eeclayton Great list! I was absent for most of this year's books, but hopefully I'll be able to join you much more in 2025. 5d

Bookwormjillk Love this list! Thank you! 5d

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead I think I asked to be removed from your master tag list, but it looks like you haven‘t and I‘m glad. Because I‘ve changed my mind, keep me on your list and I‘ll see what I can work into my list. A couple are free on Audible and I‘ve put a library hold on The Bell Jar. But I may decide to read a book all at once rather than a chapter a day. That seems to be less overwhelming. 5d

AnneCecilie I would love to join for some of these 5d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 ohhh I‘m sorry, I probably removed you from the current list instead of the master! 5d

BarkingMadRead @AnneCecilie I‘ll add you to the master list, you‘ll only be tagged before we start each book, unless you ask to be tagged for the book we are currently reading, if that makes sense 🤣 5d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 you should definitely read at whatever pace works best for you! (edited) 5d

AnneCecilie Thank you 😊 that‘s make sense 5d

CatLass007 @BarkingMadRead It‘s okay. ❤️ Please make sure I‘m on the master list. And if anyone can remember the product for which the tagline was “It‘s a woman‘s prerogative to change her mind,” it will be appreciated. 5d

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! There are some good ones/ones I've been meaning to read here!! 5d

TheAromaofBooks However, I cannot believe I am already saving things in my Litsy 2025 folder 😑 Where is time going!? 5d
