Cuilin Is this a first time read for anyone? The bath bit was so real. (edited) 2w

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin this is a first time read for me 2w

mcctrish 43 by 5 blocks is a lot to walk. I love that she was no worse for the wear shoe wise afterwards and that she knows a bath cures everything. I feel like letting Doreen in would have been a bad idea but leaving her outside the door in a puddle of her own vomit is a level of No fucks to give I need to aspire to 😳 2w

mcctrish First time for me 2w

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 2w

Cuilin @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead oh good, I had heard of it, of course, but I didn‘t really know much about it and it‘s turning out to be completely different than what I thought. I‘m intrigued. But also worried. 😟 2w

Cuilin @mcctrish I don‘t know I could‘ve left a friend with a Lenny!! 2w

mcctrish @Cuilin I love it so much - after udolpho and the bros and Lark Rise it just feels like the words are precise and measured and specific and the story just zips right out and grabs me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 2w

mcctrish @Cuilin Doreen has a bit of Mike Tyson in her, I think she‘s going to be fine 🤣🤣 (edited) 2w

willaful @mcctrish Not so much in New York. Long walks are easy there.

This chapter was disturbing and I kind of wished I was back in Candleford. Doreen could easily have died. 2w

Cuilin @mcctrish The writing style is so much more accessible, it‘s fabulous because we can focus on the plot, oh and it has a plot. Looking at you Lark Rise. 👀 2w

mcctrish @Cuilin 🤣🤣🤣 2w

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin @willaful I 💯 agree, I don‘t think I could have left her there. She was obviously not in a position to make any kind of decision or to fight back! 2w

mcctrish @willaful sensible shoes for the win 2w

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead @willaful She also asked her not to leave her alone with him!!! (edited) 2w

Librarybelle My first time reading this too, @Cuilin , and it‘s different than what I anticipated. I‘m not sure what I thought this would be, but it‘s just different. However, I‘m liking it so far! 2w

Cuilin @mcctrish I hope so 🤛 2w

Cuilin @Librarybelle I had images of a domestic setting for some reason 🤷‍♀️ 2w

Bookwormjillk I wouldn‘t have left Doreen there, but also I probably wouldn‘t have left the hotel in the first place and just skipped right to the bath. Lenny- what a goof ball. (edited) 2w

Bookwormjillk Also I read this as a teen, so my memory is only foggy and I might be getting details confused with a Christopher Pike book. 2w

DieAReader 🙋🏻‍♀️First time for me. 😱😳Never would‘ve left Doreen like that. I also think leaving her in the hallway like that was both dangerous & irresponsible. The whole situation kinda pissed me off tbh🤬🤷🏻‍♀️ 2w

dabbe This is my first read, but I know a bit about it. Plath died just one month after its publication in the UK. 😟 And it's semi-autobiographical. I'm already noticing so many allusions to death and dying just in the first two chapters. And I'm worried, too, @Cuilin. 😱 2w

tpixie @dabbe @cullin it‘s my first read also. This book is bringing on a lot of feels!! 😅🥺😳 2w

TheAromaofBooks Could you add me to the tag list, please? My copy came from the library - I've never read this one so I have no idea where it's going! 2w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks gotcha! 2w

Clare-Dragonfly This is a first-time read for me, too. Our girl is making a lot of bad decisions but she is very young! 2w

ElizaMarie @Cuilin First time read for me --- and The bath bit -- yes! #Truth! 2w

ElizaMarie I mean, I get that Doreen asked her not to leave her - but... also, Doreen is not a good friend either. I mean, leaving your friend and putting your friend in that position to leave you --- it just is all messy! 2w

CogsOfEncouragement My first read. What was in those drinks? I‘m not necessarily holding it against her that she left, because it seems something else was at play. When she was seeing her drink was below the design on the glass, then above it. What was real? Did Doreen really bite his ear? She is super groggy when she leaves Doreen in the hallway, just hungover? or something more? Anticipating not getting answers to any of these questions though. 2w

BarkingMadRead @CogsOfEncouragement so many unanswered questions! We are scarred from previous books 🤣 #zerotrust 2w

tpixie @CogsOfEncouragement that drink level made me think Lenny was over pouring her… 7d

Lark Rise to Candleford - Trilogy: Lark Rise, Over to Candleford and Candleford Green | Flora Thompson

Ch 32: y‘all. This chapter was so random. #townlife #sickfolks #pleasedontmakemethatjelly 🤢#beerbrewing #bathtime #poorjoe #thatsallihavetosayaboutthat #theclergymanandwife #sosad #allsorandom #hashtagbrigade

willaful Yeah, back to the lack of narrative. 😂 Joe's story made me very sad, because my daughter is disabled and I worry so much about what will happen when we're gone, especially now. I bet poor Joe's mother was fretted to death about it. 3w

BarkingMadRead @willaful I worked with special needs kids before I retired, and stuff like this makes me crazy. I have zero patience for it 3w

Bookwormjillk So random. I thought it was because I was sleepy and dozing off, but then I went back to read again and nope. Just random. 3w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I had so much trouble focusing 🤣 3w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm guessing still no plot? 😆 3w

TheAromaofBooks I've always read about calf's foot jelly in old books as a great delicacy, and I can see why after reading about how time-consuming and complicated it is to make... but I definitely don't want to try it! 😐 3w

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig I feel like we got teased with some plot and then it was snatched away 🤣 3w

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks hard pass 🤣🤣 3w

AllDebooks Some things belong in the past, like that jelly 🫣 3w

Cuilin @AllDebooks the jelly and fox hunting!! 3w

dabbe I gotta admit, I skimmed through this chapter and read like this: the dull green blahblahblah ... the interesting green ... blahblahblah ... fox hunting omg skip ... disgusting jelly omg skip ... blahblahblah reverend and wife then both die + congregation ... blahblahblah done. 😂 3w

willaful I had trouble concentrating too. Thought it was the ambien. 😂 3w

mcctrish How we get from #outwiththeoldinwiththenew clergy to Luney Joe to who takes a bath where and when is beyond me @dabbe there‘s skip and then there is skim 3w

Bklover @willaful This made me laugh!!😂😂 3w

willaful @Bklover glad to be of service. :-) 3w

dabbe @mcctrish Perhaps a skip would be better--as in today's chapter as well! #oy 3w

mcctrish @dabbe maybe skip to the end 🤣🤣🤣 3w

dabbe @mcctrish If you will, I will. 🤩 But since I did do that for verdant-verdure UDOLPHO, I feel obligated to see this through. Sooooooo close! 😂 3w

mcctrish @dabbe we are so close it has to count either way 🤣🤣😆 3w

No More Poems!: A Book in Verse That Just Gets Worse | Rhett Miller

pick

Poetry book by Rhett Miller illustrated by Dan Santat has awesome poems that I know students of many different grades would find hilarious to hear/read. these poems are all about children and defy the rules of writing. There are some about tech devices and random events or things the children enjoy. The illustrations are amazing and elevate each poem and the feelings they convey.
