Bookwormjillk 10 chapters left! 2d

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine #obviously 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is usually the point where I would binge read the end, but I feel like I still wouldn‘t know anything, so why bother 🤣 @Bookwormjillk #hallelujah 2d

TheAromaofBooks I gotta be honest, I freaking love Annette and her complete inability to keep a secret 😂 1d

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks without Annette, we wouldn‘t know a damn thing 🤣 1d

Clare-Dragonfly There doesn‘t seem to be much acknowledgement that Annette‘s husband has disappeared! 1d

Clare-Dragonfly Linguistic note: I see that Annette has switched from calling Emily “mamselle” to “madam”! This matches up with something I noted in the book I just finished—in English, Mrs was for a long time just a title of respect for an adult woman of a certain class, even if she wasn‘t married. The Mrs versus Miss for marital status distinction wasn‘t solidified until the mid-19th century. Emily is probably Madam now that she‘s inherited.

mcctrish In the words of me “WTF?!” 2d

Clare-Dragonfly So, just like with Ludo, we get the Count‘s POV when nothing interesting is going on, and then something happens and we don‘t get to know anything about it. 🤨 2d

TheAromaofBooks Someone needs to rewrite this book except with the interesting parts actually IN THE STORY 🙄 2d

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks ha! Perfect! 2d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes! And leaving out 80% of the #verdantverdure . 1d

BarkingMadRead @julieclair omg so much #verdantverdure 🙄 1d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish omg the freaking hat 🙄 #priorities 2w

Clare-Dragonfly That‘s why I called him Ludo in the first place 😂😂😂 2w

Clare-Dragonfly And yeah, as soon as the guy wouldn‘t tell Ludo his name, I knew it wasn‘t going to be V. 2w

Bookwormjillk I was a bit shocked it wasn‘t V myself. But then again we still have many chapters to go. 2w

Bklover I wonder where V is? Maybe he‘s moved on! (I sure hope not after all this) 2w

peanutnine I had a feeling the creeper wasn't V cause he would have already admitted it to Emily, he was always really frank about his stalker tendencies lol 2w

mcctrish @Bklover he‘s still partying in Paris 2w

julieclair @mcctrish I sure do hope you‘re wrong about partying in Paris, but my gut tells me you‘re right. 😒 2w

Bookwormjillk So is Macaroni the bad guy or is V? Or is the aunt just playing them all? Will Emily ever stop crying and find out?? #WeWillHaveAnAnswerLateNextMonth 1mo

AllDebooks What just happened? 😱 1mo

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks #somanythings 1mo

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead the u-turns from this aunt are making my head spin! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks she‘s exhausting! 1mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks I‘ve got whiplash 1mo

mcctrish Sigh. Sob. You must go. Wait, listen to this. Sigh. Sob. Don‘t ever forget me. You must forget me. Sigh. Sob. #putafeatherinhishatandcallhimmacaroni 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Definitely saw Marconi forbidding the marriage coming! There is a lot of sighing and fainting in this chapter. There is no way I would be slogging through this book without the #hashtagbrigade! I *will* learn what Catherine Morland gets so excited about! (edited) 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly I just realized I got his name wrong in a completely different way 😂 Montoni! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also! Doesn‘t Valancourt have a first name? He calls Emily by her name all the time but she doesn‘t use his name in dialogue. Did Radcliffe just not feel like coming up with a first name? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think they‘ve mentioned a first name? I‘m not sure! 1mo

dabbe This is the perfect kind of book for me right now. No matter how bad things are or seem to be today, I am quite grateful to not be Emily in the late 1500's with absolutely no money and no say in what she can/can't do in her life. #yikes #andyesshecrieswaytoomuch #scmb 1mo

TheAromaofBooks The aunt being like “suck it up or people will judge you for not being able to get over your completely inappropriate boyfriend“ like 48 hours ago you were totally on his team?!?! Geezy 1mo

AnishaInkspill yeah the uncle 1mo

Bklover And now they‘re both crying. And dear obedient Emily will now be ordered around by Macaroni. 1mo

willaful I was expecting something horrible. I guess Sydney was too.

Kerr continues to be the effing worst. She deliberately tantalized Sydney and then tried to lure her back. Sydney went to a dark place but I\'m glad she has learned better now. Only two chapters left, perhaps she\'s safe? 😬 3mo

mcctrish Kerr is the worst @willaful and if the worst thing that happens is Sydney sees the light of her rushed marriage almost colliding with a logging truck #couldbeworse 3mo

willaful @mcctrish Yes, I think it was the right decision. But I hate the thought of Kerr feeling like she won. 🤬 3mo

peanutnine Calling it off was the right decision but I do feel bad for Milton. He seems like collateral damage in the whole affair 3mo

julieclair Sydney is a hot mess. Calling off the engagement is definitely the right idea. @peanutnine I agree about Milton… I feel very sorry for him. 3mo

Bookwormjillk We needed a short chapter today. 10mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk we earned it! 10mo

currentlyreadinginCO She loves having almost been murdered!! 😂😂 10mo

dabbe Is it horrible of me that when I go to read a chapter, I quickly figure out how many pages it is, and then I (almost) jump for joy when it less than 10? 🤩 10mo

Cuilin I‘m so behind, still playing catch up. 10mo

mcctrish @dabbe we are twins 🤣 I start every reading by looking ahead at how many pages a-thinking “yes” #lessthan10 or “groan” #toomany I am seriously ‘a-doubting and a-feared‘ this book will ever end 10mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe @mcctrish for real! 🙄 @Cuilin there are some shorter chapters ahead! You can do it!! 10mo

dabbe @mcctrish #greatminds 🤩😂😍 10mo

5feet.of.fury I told myself I either have to catch up this weekend or throw in the towel, this is where I am now. 10mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury you can do it!! 10mo

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead the comments seem like people are getting more into it, it‘s helping me rally. For a while we all seemed to be just suffering together lmao 10mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury the last section has been so much easier to read! It‘s crazy 😜 10mo
