eeclayton I've been enjoying the descriptions so far, but I wouldn't mind if things started happening sooner rather than later. 3w

Ruthiella I‘m enjoying this look at a lost time and place, but taking it with a grain of salt regarding things like children grew up without neuroses because they played outside in all weathers etc. 3w

TheAromaofBooks Yes, this is interesting but... not very story-ish as of yet 😂 3w

Bookwormjillk I hope this isn‘t boring too. I was getting invested in Edward and what‘s her name today but then it said we‘re not going to talk about them any more. PS I can see the pram in the preview but not the post. (edited) 3w

mcctrish @eeclayton it‘s pretty wordy for not much happening @TheAromaofBooks it‘s pretty much just a written accounting of a day in the life @Ruthiella kind of makes you think the author time travelled back from our current phone raised generation to make sweeping generalities 3w

Bklover @Ruthiella Yes! And also that being “soundly spanked” made them not repeat the behavior as opposed to “laying up complexes” that will spoil their later lives. 🙄. I‘m starting to think that there may not be much plot here. @TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish @eeclayton 3w

willaful All valid complaints but I am actually enjoying it. I hope we do get some story soon though.

I kind of feel the author is a little dishonest? She's writing like it's perfectly fine that the two intellectually curious kids get no encouragement or help but I don't believe it left no scars. And I don't believe there weren't any other “different“ kids who had a hard time with their way of life, either. 3w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm caught up! Although I did skip over Chapter 1 pig killing. 3w

julieclair I keep falling asleep as I read. I think this might be boring. Hoping for a plot to emerge soon. 3w

rubyslippersreads @Bookwormjillk It seems odd that we wouldn‘t hear more about Laura; she‘s the main character in the TV show. 🫤 2w

Luke-XVX Haha I stand corrected! (Now I remember her from Patriot Games) 4w

mcctrish Todays chapter could have been the whole book #justsaying 4w

eeclayton At least now we know what was behind the veil. Even if it was a very WTF kinda explanation. 4w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Right?! 😂 Also, who else was shocked that Laurentini is her first name?! I definitely thought it was a last name. 4w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s the mystery right there 🤣🤣🤣 4w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish The real mystery of Udolpho: Who Are These Udolpho People Who Name Their Kid Laurentini? 4w

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 😂 4w

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 4w

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 4w

Bookwormjillk This is the kind of chapter that really makes me not like this book. Emily is about to get to the bottom of things but oh wait there‘s music 🙄 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly All the hints about Emily looking like the marchioness! But she couldn‘t exactly have a secret kid, could she?! 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought at first, until they started talking about her face turning black 🤮 so bizarre 1mo

peanutnine @Bklover because her dramatic monologues are much more entertaining than constant crying 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was just thinking this couldn‘t possibly be set up by Macaroni because he doesn‘t need to be this subtle when he can just threaten her. And I was proven right! I‘m wondering if her aunt is really dead? Was that the body she saw? And if they thought Ludo was dead and he wasn‘t, could that be the case again? 2mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder the same. It‘s dark. And she‘s … Emily… so it could totally be a mistake! 2mo

mcctrish It‘s dark and she‘s Emily 🤣🤣🤣 doesn‘t macaroni want the aunt dead so he can marry Emily and get the property? 2mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m pretty sure no one in this story has first aid and it shows 2mo

ElizaMarie I am getting super confused with where we are- I get confused when the chapters aren't labeled like just 1, 2, 3.... but when they do Vol and then Ch and then blah! the Crying!!! Where are we!? I thought I was reading #AChapterADay but now I am confused -- anyone have a table? 2mo

Bookwormjillk I thought this was a picture of a chicken nugget at first. Have a good trip! @ElizaMarie I don‘t have a tracker for this one sorry. 2mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie we are reading a chapter a day, the book is divided this way, so I‘ve been posting what volume and chapter every day! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly @eeclayton I‘ve been thinking the same thing. Maybe she had an abridged version 😂 2mo

eeclayton @Clare-Dragonfly That makes sense! Like The Princess Bride, the good parts version! 😂 @BarkingMadRead I certainly hope we'll get to the good parts soon! 2mo

CatLass007 Would you please remove me from your tag list for #HashtagBrigade? Everyone is great but I want to cut back on some of my buddy reads. Thanks 😚 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly I had a hard time following all the dialogue in this but I got the gist. Specifically that Auntie is a social-climbing moron. 2mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Can I add “bitch“ to your most excellent comment? As in #socialclimbingmoronbitch ... #scmb for short (which could also read as “scumbag“). 😄 2mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 2mo

Bklover First of all, why does Valencourt keep showing up like a creeper? He always appears from behind a tree or something. Second, Auntie is a scheming witch but at least she‘s interesting- I think she‘s going to be a fun one to hate! 2mo

julieclair @Bklover I freely admit I am hating Auntie and enjoying it! As @dabbe says, #scmb . 😂 2mo

dabbe @julieclair YES! #scmb You know, it's better just thinking it as “scum“! 🤩😂🤗 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe Bahahaha, perfect! 😂 2mo

ElizaMarie @bklover! Yes!!! Such a #SneakySneak didn‘t we learn he has good breeding? Why are you such a #WeirdoCreeper !? 2mo

dabbe Pops also has memories of a woman who is not Emily's mother. And he recognized the name of the person who owned the creepy house/castle/haunt/whatever-the-heck-you-want-to-call-it. Here comes the Gothic! I also vote to add the word “sublime“ to “verdant“ and “verdure“. And am I awful to say that if I see any more scenery, I am going to 🤢? Oh, and great to send Pops on an adventure when the guy can barely walk. #wtf? 2mo
