VerdantVerdure

The mysteries of Udolpho | Ann Ward Radcliffe, Bonamy Dobr�e

Thinking of all my #HashtagBrigade friends today. Took a train ride through the rainforest on St. Kitts. SO much #VerdantVerdure. Just in case you were wondering, I didn't cry. Nor did I faint. 😂
Actually, I enjoyed every minute! As it turns out, #VerdantVerdure is truly quite beautiful! 🙂 @BarkingMadRead

Ruthiella But did you maybe spontaneously compose a sonnet to remark upon its beauty? 😂 2d

BarkingMadRead I‘m so glad you stayed dry and awake 🤣 2d

julieclair @Ruthiella Unfortunately, no sonnets spontaneously sprung to mind. 😂 2d

julieclair @BarkingMadRead It was a minor miracle. 😂 2d

TheAromaofBooks If not a sonnet, at least an ode?? Emily managed to work them in even between fainting fits! 😂 2d

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Since I did not faint, I was unable to compose an ode. 😂 2d

mcctrish In the words of me “WTF?!” 3w

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. 🤨 3w

TheAromaofBooks Someone needs to rewrite this book except with the interesting parts actually IN THE STORY 🙄 3w

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks ha! Perfect! 3w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes! And leaving out 80% of the #verdantverdure . 3w

BarkingMadRead @julieclair omg so much #verdantverdure 🙄 3w

The Mysteries of Udolopho | Ann Radcliffe

Why does it feel like I have been reading this FOREVER?! And how am I not even halfway through?! WT actual F

Bookwormjillk 😂😂😂 2mo

Ruthiella This is why I am not re-reading with you all. It‘s interminable! 😂 Just wait…the whole thing re-boots and it‘s ANOTHER creepy castle and ANOTHER hero. 2mo

dabbe I am now way behind. I also count the pages before I start, and the one that had 30+ chapters just made me go 😳, and that's where I'm at. I don't read the poems, and now I'm skipping the PAGES UPON PAGES UPON PAGES of descriptions of mountains, blah blah, mountains, blah blah, #verdantverdure blah blah, #sublime blah blah ... Emily finally arrives at Udolpho like 250 pages in? 😴 2mo

mcctrish @Ruthiella NOOOOOOOOO 😩😩😭 2mo

mcctrish @dabbe I don‘t think anyone reads the poems, openers, ballads or whatever they are called😆 if they are supposed to tie in with the non-stop crying I sure as hell can‘t see it. The long chapters really do crush one‘s soul and its so easy to get behind. Just skip ahead - you have missed crying, fainting, the count was stabbed, macaroni is double dealing everyone, the aunt is a bitch, the trees are green, the castle is haunted. 2mo

dabbe @mcctrish You've given me back hours to my life. Gracias. 🤗 2mo

mcctrish @dabbe 🤣 2mo

Daisey I read this a few years ago and had no interest in rereading, but I‘m very entertained by the posts as you all read it! 2mo

mcctrish Oh @Daisey no one should have to suffer through this twice 😆😆 2mo
