Luke-XVX Jeanne Tripplehorn though, good lord !!! 1w

AllDebooks Lol 🤣 1w

dabbe @Luke-XVX I think it was Anne Archer, though they both look a LOT alike! 🤩 1w

Luke-XVX Haha I stand corrected! (Now I remember her from Patriot Games) 1w

mcctrish Todays chapter could have been the whole book #justsaying 1w

eeclayton At least now we know what was behind the veil. Even if it was a very WTF kinda explanation. 1w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Right?! 😂 Also, who else was shocked that Laurentini is her first name?! I definitely thought it was a last name. 1w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s the mystery right there 🤣🤣🤣 1w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish The real mystery of Udolpho: Who Are These Udolpho People Who Name Their Kid Laurentini? 1w

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - LITERALLY what I was thinking when I was reading this - this is like a synopsis of all the actually interesting parts of this story that we weren't allowed to know about for some reason 😂 1w

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks I definitely think it would have been more effective if we had learned what Emily read/saw earlier on and then revealed what it all meant at the end. Explaining it away immediately after revealing the mystery made it so much less shocking as a reader 1w

TheAromaofBooks @peanutnine - I totally agree!! I think if we knew what Emily did - that there was a half-decayed body in a hidden room - EVERYTHING would have been way creepier than just “something is there“ - and then in the end we get the big reveal about it not being a real body. As it is it was just kind of - it's a body! PSYCH! The end. lol 1w

SarahBookInterrupted Can you add me to the read along, please. @BarkingMadRun 3y

BarkingMadRead @SarahBookInterrupted absolutely 3y

CrowCAH I wonder why she‘s not swooning? Could it be she secretly likes what she sees, but doesn‘t want to show it?! 3y

Ruthiella @CrowCAH I think you might be on to something!😉 (edited) 3y

BarkingMadRead @CrowCAH that‘s what I‘m thinking. I think she has a low opinion of herself and doesn‘t think he would go for her, which he‘s kind of proving so far lol 3y

DebinHawaii @CrowCAH @Ruthiella @BarkingMadRun Yep, I think that means there is going to romance there. 😉 3y

CrowCAH @DebinHawaii hmm, ya think so?! 😉 3y

DebinHawaii @CrowCAH Well, you know, just a wild guess! 🤣😉🤣 3y

julieclair I think she‘s annoyed he‘s not paying any attention to her, and that‘s why she‘s mystified as to why everyone else likes him. She doesn‘t understand how he could possibly be a good person if he‘s not fawning over her, lol! But I do wonder what his background story is. Is he hiding something bad, or will it turn out to be a pitiful tale that turns Sarah‘s heart? 2y

Sparklemn @julieclair He's definitely hiding something. I'm guessing more pitiful than bad but we'll see! 2y

Bklover So far in this my favorite character is Mrs. Hill who I think has some secrets!?She is just an old softie. And as for Sarah, she either has a massive crush or she‘s just not very nice 😉 (edited) 2y

CoffeeNBooks I think Sarah's also frustrated because everyone thinks James is wonderful because he's a man. And I also think she has a crush on him. 2y

I‘m thinking that an isolated #forest in the midst of zombie country might not be an ideal spot for a #litsyspringbreak getaway.

The Surgeon | Tess Gerritsen

I‘ve shied away from her books because they sound a bit gruesome, but I‘m looking forward to seeing what she writes in this regard. IMHO it‘s long overdue, and it will ring kind of hollow if contemporary mystery writers don‘t address the current situation in future books. #justsaying

Susanita Unfortunately the PPH article is behind a pay wall so I can‘t read and share it. 5y

Catherine_Willoughby Current crimes / issue will effect how authors will approach such scenes in their stories. Its just inevitable 😔 5y

SamAnne I just might have to head out and buy a couple of her books! (edited) 5y

Guys... I dont know about yall but the dragon dying in GoT is as sad as Marley and Me #justsaying

Gezemice I am wearing a “mother of dragons” shirt. Don‘t tell me... 6y

RadicalReader @Callemarie I completely agree I never cried so hard while watching a movie than when I watched Marley and Me couldn‘t imagine reading the book it would have looked like it had been through a flood if it comes close to the emotions in the movie 6y

Callemarie @Gezemice I wont say a word 6y

Just Saying | Rae Armantrout

so-so

Long car rides and poetry books seem to work well for me. I‘m still trying to wrap my head around poetry as a whole. I feel better about this collection than others I have read, and a few of these poems were ones I really liked. I am still not completely “getting it” though. However, if poetry is your thing, I would recommend checking this one out. #JustSaying #RaeArmantrout
