Cuilin I used to think that the hashtags were just fun and quirky and now I‘m so glad for the recapping because I forget what I read two hours ago. I could blame a book without a plot but I actually think it‘s me. lol 7h

BarkingMadRead @cuilin #ifeelthisinmysoul I had to go back and confirm patty‘s name, I thought it was Peg 🤣🙈 7h

AllDebooks @Cuilin no, it's me too. Lol 😅 7h

dabbe @Cuilin Nope, it's the lack of plot. I do the exact same thing. I've been skimming a lot, too. A while back one of the chapters was called “Farming“, and I just skimmed and thought “Oh, with a moo moo there, and an oink oink there ... Old McDonald had a farm ... chapter over. 🙄 6h

Bookwormjillk It‘s me too! I know I read this but all I remember is the pig 😂 6h

willaful The book did it just to prove me wrong! 😂 3h

mcctrish @dabbe I‘m laughing at that Old MacDonald reference out loud 3h

mcctrish With no intent to sound sacrilegious, this book reminds me of the Bible 🤣🤣 this second book is just a different apostle‘s take on the Lark Rise to Boredom 3h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish #epic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 2h

dabbe @mcctrish Lark Rise to Randomness, too! 🤩😂🤗 34m

dabbe @mcctrish I aim to please! 🤩😂😘 34m

mcctrish Previously on Lark Rise ……. 1d

willaful Hehehe...

What on EARTH was that saying about dogs and butter? I couldn't make heads or tails of it. 😂 1d

Bookwormjillk I know I read this chapter but I can‘t remember it. Sounds like it probably doesn‘t matter. Like The Hotel last year I think this probably is better on TV. 1d

BarkingMadRead @willaful your guess is as good as mine 🤣 1d

RamsFan1963 Every time I see one of these bikes, it reminds me of the TV series The Prisoner. 1d

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk this chapter was all over the place!! 1d

dabbe This chapter was definitely a skimmer one. And I totally missed the butter saying--that was one of the paragraphs I just gave a glance to. C'mon, Flora, please give us a plot! 😂 1d

willaful @dabbe second verse, same as the first... I don't think there's a plot a'comin'! 1d

BarbaraJean @willaful @dabbe I suppose it would be odd if the second book suddenly veered into a plot with actual character development instead of random unconnected tidbits of life in Lark Rise… but a girl can dream 😆 1d

dabbe @willaful 😭😭😭 ... oops, that's for MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO. 😂 1d

dabbe @BarbaraJean Boy, you said it! #randomnesseverywhere!!! 1d

Ruthiella @willaful I guess what is meant is don‘t waste something worthwhile (butter) when there is an easier way to get what you want? 19h

Bklover At least no one is weeping or fainting! 16h

Yet it was thrilling to see a man hurtling through space on one high wheel, with another tiny wheel wobbling helplessly behind. You wondered how they managed to keep their balance. No wonder they wore an anxious air. ‘Bicyclist‘s face‘, the expression was called, and the newspapers foretold a hunchbacked and tortured-faced future generation as a result of the pastime.

(This would have been something to see, and in my google search for a picture

AnneCecilie I learned that this was more warned about towards women.) #Hashtagbrigade (edited) 1d

Cuilin I was nervous when she mentioned the Irish coming to help. Usually branded during this time (propaganda) as unreliable drunkards and agitators but no, the opposite, happy to help, work, party Saturday night and mass on Sunday. ☘️ 2d

TheAromaofBooks That last sentence! Sheesh. What a way to end the book! 2d

dabbe @Cuilin Éirinn go Brách! ☘️ 2d

Ruthiella Lots of meat and puddings. 2d

willaful @TheAromaofBooks So this was the end? My edition has the next chapter continuing the numbering so I wasn't sure.

The rather ironic view of the Queen reminded me of this song from the British series “Rock Follies“: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_GMgPo5J8Q 2d

Bookwormjillk What a buzz kill 2d

TheAromaofBooks @willaful - Yes, my edition has the three books separated, so this was the end of Lark Rise, and tomorrow we'll start Over the Candleford. 2d

Bklover We made it 1/3!! 2d

AnneCecilie That last sentence. 1d

Ch 14: church, this reminded me of the second episode of LHOTP where the Rev lectures the wives because the husbands stayed home 🤣 #godunderstandsfarmers #somanycustoms #notmuchchanges #poormissellison #ripmarley #hashtagbrigade

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie for this book or the #hashtagbrigade as well? 3d

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead For all of it thanks. 3d

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie we will miss you! 3d

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead sorry too much going on here!!! If I can pop back in I‘ll let you know. 3d

TheAromaofBooks I love Laura going to the “weird“ church service just for something to do 😂 3d

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks me too. Actually I like this book whenever Laura is mentioned, then it feels like a story and less like an accounting 3d

willaful @mcctrish Yes, that helps. 3d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish you are so right 3d

dabbe @mcctrish Bam! That's the word for this book. It's an ACCOUNTING of every single aspect of daily life. I'm close to saying #uhCOUNTmeout! 😂 3d

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk what really funny is I did my reading at school today during silent reading time. I have this and my Sunday Buddy Read on my kindle and I decided I‘d knock my chapter off using the kindle app on my phone. But it was queued up to Grand Hotel and I was so perplexed as to where the German dancer came from and who was he backing into a corner 3d

mcctrish @dabbe I mean, it certainly is a glimpse into a day in the life but my god it‘s dry as toast 3d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish #plottwist 3d

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead #laurawenttotheball 😳 3d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish lol 3d

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - It's true!! I honestly can't decide whether or not I like this book!? But I love the more personal glimpses we get with Laura's opinions/thoughts/actions vs. the overview. 2d

KAO I found it remarkable that there was a lot to say about the role of church (including the rector‘s practices outside of services) in this hamlet. Nowhere near this amount of detail was given about school! Then again, the actual church building was often located at the center of a village (or is that true only in Germany, Austria, and other European countries where I‘ve seen it so often?). I can imagine how the church was figuratively central too. 2d

KAO I do agree that my interest is sparked when I get a glimpse of Laura or Edmund‘s behaviors! Or of particular background stories on occasionally introduced characters. Poor Rev. Marley! 2d

Bookwormjillk Lol holding the creepy doll up to the window. This chapter reminded me of when certain neighbors turn to our listserve to be cranky about Halloween. According to them the kids never do it right. 4d

AllDebooks Dolls really creep me out 4d

mcctrish I love a short chapter, sucks it was ruined by the creepy doll 4d

TheAromaofBooks I've read about May Day festivities in many old books, but I don't remember ever hearing about a doll before. 4d
