Clare-Dragonfly I‘m glad Maggie didn‘t get any deeper into trying to teach them than she did, or they might have gotten upset! As it is they were kind people. 2w

julieclair @mcctrish Agreed. She learned a bit about the world. And thankfully made it home safe and sound! 2w

Bookwormjillk I had to laugh at the idea of Maggie just running into her Dad. That must have been a shock. 1w

ElizaMarie I love the fact that she really thought she would be fit to be Queen of the Gypsies 1w

Morr_Books @ElizaMarie 🤣 Don't know that the thimble was enough to buy her that role. 1w

Leftcoastzen Imagine! No tea ! How COULD someone be queen of the Gypsies & live that way ? 😁They were ultimately kind, her father was beside himself 1w

dabbe Wonder how long Mrs. T and Tom will leave Maggie alone? 🤔 Bets, anyone? 1w

BarkingMadRead @dabbe not long 🤣🤣 1w

Semicolon: The Past, Present, and Future of a Misunderstood Mark | Cecelia Watson

If we hold fast to grammar and the idea that grammar rules have never changed and therefore original intent and meaning can be deduced through written text, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Maine become unconstitutional and cease to exist in modern America. Just think about that for a minute.

You: The Story: A Writer's Guide to Craft Through Memory | Ruta Sepetys

I do not like this author. She does not feel safe (if that makes sense to anyone else).
“A setting is what you make of it” is how she white washes the abuse she endured at the hands of a weirdo in LA (complete with “unauthorised portraits”). This does not feel mentally well. LA gave her “courage and a thick skin” ... don‘t forget the trauma and denial she‘s making light of.

Ruthiella I love how rain causes such illnesses in Regency/Victorian novels (see also Sense & Sensibility). 💧💧🤒 1mo

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…? 1mo

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! 1mo

Bookwormjillk This section was bananas. What do we read tomorrow? The rest of Epoch 2? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk yes! It‘s only like 10 pages, how sweet is that?!? 1mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I feel like this entire book is a lesson in gaslighting #idontknowwhichendisup #trustnoone 1mo

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. 1mo

julieclair So much going on here!! I love it! But I‘m very afraid for Laura in London. 😬 1mo

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 1mo

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! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful absolutely 2mo

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? 2mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s exactly what I thought! He‘s twice her age, obviously he will be the first to go, unless…. 2mo

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 2mo

Bklover @mcctrish Next thing you know Marian will suddenly be in an asylum. Soon following will be Laura. #percypigisanass 2mo

mcctrish @Bklover #thewritingisonthewall 2mo

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. 2mo

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. 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Udolpho vibes yes 😂 2mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I love our ‘inside vibes‘ connections #bestgroupever #trustthedog 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 💯 Gilmore was like, let me just explain this last bit real quick, and then it took like 5 pages. Sir. 2mo

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! 2mo

julieclair Whew! Lots going on 2mo

julieclair #trustthedog for sure. And what's with #unclesmellingsalts allowing this ridiculous inheritance business? 2mo

Leftcoastzen Always #trustthedog could Gilmore make it any more obvious to #unclesmellingsalts ? Lost in his own little world to the perils of his family 2mo

Reasons given for the acceptable practice of initiating new men into the military using homosexual sex acts. I‘m really going to need them to show their work on that second one. The other two make no sense either, but that one is extra special.

Oh my gods, I need to scream and figure out exactly what in Dune‘s name is actually happening here. I‘m not even sure I know what happened at the very end. It‘s going to be a very long 2 years to wait for this next book.

GingerAntics @Shannon_McKinney I do. She was pushing to burn out and worse with her speed. She needs to take care of herself. As long as she doesn‘t go Patrick Rothfuss on us, it‘ll be fine. … just after this one … this one hurts this morning. (edited) 3mo

GingerAntics @Liatrek I woke up early this morning and was REALLY messed up about the ending. I got some more sleep and I‘m feeling better about it. I‘d say there are two options, but I‘m betting on Yarros finding option 3, 4, or 9. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 3mo

Chrissyreadit I loved it but that ending was crushing…. by ending last 20% of the book. I‘m wondering who else turned- Garrick? Bohdi? ugh!!!! 2 years at least! 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit why do you think they turned? I didn‘t even go there. My mind has been working out possibilities for Xaden, given that he married her (?) and then SHE chose to have Imogen take her memories. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit crushing was a great word for it, though. 3mo

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics It‘s in the Xadens chapter that one of them turned. I am rereading this weekend. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I didn‘t have a Xaden chapter. I had a Bodi chapter I think. No Xaden this time. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit okay, now I really need to reread again. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit wait wait wait, multiple riders are missing with Xaden. Maybe they ALL turned. 3mo

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I will let you know what page it is when i get home. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit all I‘m saying, is if this ends up being a version of Twilight with dragons where Jacob wins, I. AM. OUT. Yarros is WAY too good a writer for that. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit maybe they‘ve decided to take them out from within? That‘s why they‘re missing? lol 3mo

Chrissyreadit What do you mean about Jacob wins? I don‘t think so. I think Violet and Xaden are end game. I wonder if she was influenced by How people change when injured or TBI and have to work hard to get back to who they want to be? i may be over thinking it. but xaden NEVER channels for Love of power- it‘s for love of violet and love for sgael 3mo

Chrissyreadit and yes i think take them out from within may play a part!!! 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I was just thinking the same thing after I found Xaden‘s chapter and read it again. He only ever channels from the ground for Vi or Sygeal. All the other Venin channel for power. You‘re so right. I hadn‘t made the TBI link before. PTSD could also be an option. I think her husband is a veteran. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I just say that because she made a comment recently that Violet gets a HEA. I don‘t see that happening w/o Xaden, unless Sygeal‘s link to Tairn is somehow part of his link to Vi, so if Sygeal breaks the bond like Andarna did, Vi‘s feels lose intensity and then she falls for Aetos. 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit 1. I cannot wait to see why Andarna came back. There is definitely a story there. 2. Who are the other three missing riders? Did they turn or are they dead? 3. He married her, and “it‘s yours now” (what is “it”), but where did he go? OHMYGODS I NEED THE NEXT BOOK!!! I am NOT okay!!! 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I still have large sums of money on Aetos also having turned! Panchek was in no way a surprise. 3mo

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I think she will save him- for many reasons. He held onto the thread of his love with her, sgael stayed… my guess is the missing riders include bhodi and/or were either venin and killed or are with Xaden. Violet knows his plan and agreed with it- that‘s why her memory is erased. It is Tyrrendor I believe. 3mo

Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I think Violet agreeing to break Andarnas bond provided proof to the irid of her value. I am certain they will be a big part of what happens. I also think Dunne will play a part- and here is what i also wonder- Does males hold the venins souls? Will it be a bargain with Malek for Xadens soul? and what does it cost? Something happened 600 years ago to end the venin reign…. 3mo

Chrissyreadit Im really worried because Rebecca said someone we love will die. So we know it‘s not Dain…. my guess is Garrick, Imogene, Rhi or Ridoc but i‘m really hoping not any of them. Honestly i‘m shocked she did not kill Mira off. 3mo

Chrissyreadit This is going to be a very very long two or so years… 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit what‘s Tyrrendor? I‘m hoping Vi somehow proved herself to the Irid by letting Andarna make her own choice. So many people could die. As Xaden has said repeatedly (or I‘ve just read it so many times it feels repeated), this is a war, and people die in wars. I dunno. I feel like this book answered exactly zero questions from book 2 and just added questions to the list. Oof (edited) 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit why do we know it‘s not Dain? 3mo

Chrissyreadit Tyrrendor is the province Xaden is Duke of. Dain is a favorite character of Rebecca Yarros 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I know he‘s the Duke of Tyrrendor and now, apparently, Vi is the Duchess of Tyrrendor. That‘s fun to think about. Really? Dain is one of her favorite characters? I do not feel like this is good news for Xaden getting a HEA. I mean, at least Asher told Vi to “let go of” her “affection for” Dain. Here‘s hoping that‘s a good sign for Xaden. I still wonder what on earth he would think of her falling for Xaden. 😂🤣😂 3mo

GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit just confirmed. Xaden was Duke of Aretia by birth (per Iron Flame), but now he‘s Duke of Tyrrendor. That dude has has so many Nobel titles. Next, she‘s going to drop that he‘s somehow distantly related to the English royal family. 🤣😂🤣 3mo
