Ruthiella I love how rain causes such illnesses in Regency/Victorian novels (see also Sense & Sensibility). 💧💧🤒 2w
mcctrish OMG the twists and the turns. Pork chop is a master manipulator #oceans11vibes Percy Pig is such a twat! Where the hell did typhus come from? I swear at this point I was thinking did the ‘private nurse‘ bring it? Or were they just one step away from typhus at this point in history despite being upper class and having household staff to clean up the lice, etc…? 2w
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was going to google it, but i was afraid to go down the rabbit hole 🤣 I am very suspicious of the whole thing though, like was it ever typhus? Did they pay that young doc to lie? So many questions! 2w
Bookwormjillk This section was bananas. What do we read tomorrow? The rest of Epoch 2? 2w
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! It‘s only like 10 pages, how sweet is that?!? 2w
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I feel like this entire book is a lesson in gaslighting #idontknowwhichendisup #trustnoone 2w
Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead very sweet! @mcctrish yes on the gaslighting. I feel like Pork Chop is playing chess and Percy is playing checkers but they‘re both very effective in their manipulations. 2w
julieclair So much going on here!! I love it! But I‘m very afraid for Laura in London. 😬 2w
Leftcoastzen Didn‘t they mention that #countporkchop knew about poisoning? Some of course kill you , but others can make you sick. Though lady gets wet , gets a chill, gets real sick is common in these novels 2w
dabbe My lord, how women were at the mercy of men in this era. You're simply property, and that's it. Oh, and an apparent ATM for all of your debts. #percypig and #porkchop are beyond evil. So much melodrama! That's what Collins was known for, and he writes it well! What a soap opera this would be! 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m so proud of Marian for being so proactive and brave. The Count is so evil! I‘m worried about what will happen to Anne 😬 He keeps finding things Marian has written and not destroying or messing with them even if that would be the smart thing to do… because he‘s so diabolical he thinks he‘ll get away with it anyway! I hope he doesn‘t! 3w
Clare-Dragonfly Any guesses on #percypig‘s Secret? I wonder if he isn‘t really who he says he is… maybe a bastard or the product of an affair? 3w
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly ohhhhhh I wonder! Because Anne‘s mom knew the secret first! I can‘t wait to find out 3w
ElizaMarie I wonder if somehow Percy is related to Anne? Or had impregnated her? Ahhh I need to know how damaging this secret is!? Its got to be juicy with all this talk of murder! Oooo maybe they know Percy murdered someone (Ann‘s daddy?) 3w
Leftcoastzen Greedy & creepy they are ! 3w

willaful Could you take me off the tag list please? I'd really like to read it with you but I just don't seem to be doing it. :-( 3w
ElizaMarie Percy is lower than a dog! That doggie not liking him is a #RedFlag and just #AlllTheMoney IF she dies? Hmm... are we setting up for some future murder? Or is my mind just dark/gutter? And -- Why does she have to marry #RightBefore she is of age? Like if she was of age, would she have been able to make the will work? 3w
BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s exactly what I thought! He‘s twice her age, obviously he will be the first to go, unless…. 3w
mcctrish The fact he wants to marry her before she‘s 21 is a red flag! Wait 3 months and she can do her own will without that stupid #unclesmellingsalts having any say! Also Aunt Eleanor and her Count were giving me brief Udolpho vibes #iykyk 🤣🤣 she needs to put Marian in a legal document #percypig is going to run her out of town aka #lockherup 3w
Bklover @mcctrish Next thing you know Marian will suddenly be in an asylum. Soon following will be Laura. #percypigisanass 3w
Bookwormjillk I felt like Uncle Crabby in his room yesterday. Every time I tried to read this section someone would talk to me. My nerves! All caught up now and you all said what I was thinking. I‘m loving reading about the same events from different points of view. 3w
Clare-Dragonfly I appreciate how Collins drums in that Percy is a jerk and not to be trusted. As though we didn‘t all hate him already, the dog can‘t stand him. Dogs know! Do you think Collins was getting paid by the word like Dickens? That last section was a whole lot of words to say “he gets all her money if she dies first” 😂 And even if he doesn‘t have nefarious plans… this book is still in a high maternal mortality era. 3w
Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Udolpho vibes yes 😂 3w
mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I love our ‘inside vibes‘ connections #bestgroupever #trustthedog 3w
BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 💯 Gilmore was like, let me just explain this last bit real quick, and then it took like 5 pages. Sir. 3w
Clare-Dragonfly I forgot to mention, I have serious doubts that uneducated Mrs. Catherick really wrote that “yeah Percy is cool with me” letter. 😒 I wish we were reading this more slowly—so much happens in each day‘s section that I can‘t remember it all, let alone have time to discuss it! 3w
julieclair Whew! Lots going on 3w
julieclair #trustthedog for sure. And what's with #unclesmellingsalts allowing this ridiculous inheritance business? 3w
Leftcoastzen Always #trustthedog could Gilmore make it any more obvious to #unclesmellingsalts ? Lost in his own little world to the perils of his family 3w

I have got to get out of this strange run of romance novels and smut… so here we go.

kspenmoll This sounds wonderful! 1mo
GingerAntics @kspenmoll 100% recommend. It‘s oddly funny and quirky, but also rather insightful in places. 1mo

KristiAhlers A man telling a woman to stay calm is never a good idea. Sigh. And oh Dodo 2y

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I expected this to be a simple casual read, and though it was, it got me tearing up and attached to the characters. So many heart strings tugged!

It has the distinctive slower pace of Japanese storytelling as the mood and background is set in the beginning, but once the plot gets going, prepare for quite the emotional journey!

I don‘t know why, but I absolutely love that Stephen King started this book off with this iconic line. #onceuponatime #herewego

JoScho It is great! 6y
Noisegirly I read Cujo when I was probably too young to read it, and it broke my heart. It was a great book, but it‘s one of those books I don‘t think I could go back and revisit. 6y
Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures @Noisegirly this is the first time I‘ve read it, but I can already tell it‘s gonna get me right in the feels. 6y
Noisegirly @HufflepuffGirl90 Looking forward to your thoughts on it when you finish. I‘d say “happy reading” but I‘m not sure that‘s really appropriate here. 🤔😬 6y
