Bklover I feel bad for Marian. Forever the aunty. 2w

BarbaraJean It was a bit anticlimactic! More dramatic vindication would have been nice. Or at least a hilarious dramatic deathbed scene with dear Uncle. I‘m just glad Pesca didn‘t have to kill Porkchop. 2w

BarkingMadRead @BarbaraJean I definitely hoped for better deaths 🤣 2w

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk #atleastthebadpeopledied small mercies and @BarbaraJean silver lining for Pesca 👏🏻👏🏻 2w

Bookwormjillk @BarbaraJean good point- happy for Pesca 2w

ElizaMarie @Bklover YES! I feel so badly for Marian. Like she was a super amazing woman, and if only she wasn't so ugly - ha! I mean, she kinda gets a happily ever after, but... only kinda? 2w

dabbe It creeped me out how #countporkchop lusted/loved Marian. There has to be someone out there for her! But you know what? She's Wilkie's independent woman, so maybe it's fitting that she ends up happily on her own. She, Walt, and Anne were my favorites. Oh, and Pesca, too!

Thanks for another fabulous read, #hashtagbrigade and our wittiest leader, @BarkingMadRead! 🤩🙌🏻🤩 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Heck yeah they did! I suspected that foreigner with a scar on his face might be the Brotherhood‘s vengeance but when he left the Count alone when Walt arrived at his house, I wasn‘t sure. He got the ending he deserved! 2w

Clare-Dragonfly Does anyone remember, if Laura hadn‘t managed to produce a son, would someone else have inherited Limmeridge? Or would a daughter have done the trick? Or could she have inherited in her own right? 2w

Ruthiella @Bklover @ElizaMarie @dabbe We can all write our own ending for Marian. I see her meeting Mr. Gilmore‘ son (or nephew or daughter or niece, whatever your flavor) and starting a beautiful partnership both personally and professionally as private detectives. 2w

Ruthiella @Clare-Dragonfly I think she would have inherited in her own right. 2w

TheAromaofBooks I ended up loving this one!! Thanks so much for hosting @BarkingMadRead - this one was an unexpected win for me 😂 2w

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I love that ending!! @TheAromaofBooks I was pleasantly surprised as well! I really loved this one! 2w

dabbe @Ruthiella Love this! 🤩🤩🤩 2w

KAO I enjoyed this a lot! Thanks so much! 2w

Leftcoastzen What a wonderful book ! Glad for the happy ending (it‘s about time) so many of the characters are so well crafted, they could have a book of their own ! Yay,Marian! Thanks @BarkingMadRead 2w

Bklover @Ruthiella That‘s a perfect ending!! I love it! 1w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly i thought the same thing! How legal is this marriage, sir?!? 3w

ElizaMarie Maybe she‘s getting married as Anne? Or could they flee the country? (edited) 3w

Clare-Dragonfly Kind of unsatisfying that Emily doesn‘t have to do anything to get her inheritance… 4mo

Bookwormjillk @Clare-Dragonfly right? All that paperwork with Macaroni for nothing. 4mo

peanutnine I feel like most everything in this book has been a ton of anticipation and buildup with no satisfying pay out @Clare-Dragonfly @Bookwormjillk 4mo

mcctrish @peanutnine absolutely so many words and nothing happens besides crying, fainting and things that can‘t be talked about 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly @peanutnine Yup. That‘s why I‘m not expecting any exciting ghost reveal with Ludo. 4mo

mcctrish @peanutnine like Emily knew he was a cheat and a liar and she stilled signed 🤦🏻‍♀️ why couldn‘t she give Ludacris at least 24 hrs AND Annette is going to get them killed 4mo

eeclayton Seriously, Emily 🤦🤦🤦 4mo

TheAromaofBooks I'm soooo confused about why she got sent away and then brought back when it's obvious Macaroni doesn't care about her safety at all?? Did he just think she might get killed before he got the paper signed?! 4mo

AllDebooks I thought we were done with Annette 🫣😅 4mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I think it said at one point that if she died, he wouldn‘t get the property, it had to be signed over? 4mo

Bookwormjillk If I was being held captive in a creepy castle I would hope my true love would do more than play music at night. 4mo

AllDebooks This was very frustrating. Spill the T Radclyffe 😕 5mo

mcctrish At present I‘d say the mystery is how anyone reads this 5mo

AllDebooks @mcctrish so much repetition!! 5mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks every time there is a chance of something happening - nope! We see gypsies, ooo what‘s going to happen? Nothing. Dad holding miniature portrait - nothing, papers to read, burn em and nothing 5mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂😂😂 5mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk it‘s a lot of words and a lot of crying for nothing 5mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I don‘t mind it when the chapters are short, but sometimes I see 23 minutes in the chapter on my kindle and I want to cry right along with her. A lot of people love this book so hopefully something other than dying parents and crying happens soon. 5mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m reading on serial and when it says the chapter continues to more than one section I too want to cry 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I can‘t believe it said she read a bit but won‘t tell us what that bit is!!! So unfair. And auntie… she‘s obnoxious but she‘s not wrong about people who look good not necessarily being good. 5mo

Bklover I‘m hoping Auntie spices things up a bit! I do think, though, that Auntie is going to cause more crying and fainting. There has to be some excitement coming soon! 5mo

eeclayton @mcctrish same! I would never get through this if it wasn't for the #hashtagbrigade ! 5mo

eeclayton I was actually proud of Emily for not saying yes to V right away. But this is about the only positive thing I can say about the story so far. 5mo

julieclair So. Much. Crying. I switched to audio and it has helped me to enjoy the story more. (Not sure why…) 5mo

Bookwormjillk @Cuilin agree. Dare I say it- might be better than the book. 6mo

Bookwormjillk I love the random judgemental quotes though. Two days ago it was middle class words, yesterday it was mustaches, and today it was the sinister yellow glasses. I don\'t always remember all the characters or understand what is going on, but there\'s usually something that makes me laugh. 6mo

willaful Ronald seems to want to be Oscar Wilde. 6mo

mcctrish @Ruthiella I think that‘s what it is, initially it came across as much more sinister probably because of his wife‘s hysterics stomping out of the room 6mo

mcctrish Of course it‘s Dick! But Bradshaw‘s parting words about the world being better off with more people like him instead of Benson sum it up perfectly, his kind made Dick! Following rules out of fear = shitheads and following rules B/c of empathy and community = where I want to live aka Benson ❤️ 7mo

Ruthiella The Chekov‘s gun that was Richard just went off! 😆 🔫 7mo

Cuilin Dick is a dumb ass, first rule of crime, you don‘t 💩 on your own doorstep. Bradshaw is about to see the evidence of his parental failings. (I realize I sound criminally inclined, nope I‘m just married to a prosecutor lol). (edited) 7mo

willaful @Ruthiella yes, phew! I'm glad it wasn't something worse happening to Ruth! 7mo

willaful @Cuilin I sure hope he will! He doesn't seem inclined to as yet. 7mo

Bookwormjillk Finally something bad happened that didn‘t involve Ruth🤣 7mo

willaful @Bookwormjillk Yeah, just to another sympathetic character who didn't deserve it! I hope he gets paid back!

I admit to feeling a touch softer towards Bradshaw for what he said about never planning for Benson to refuse his pew money. His liking to be generous isn't completely without merit. 7mo

Bookwormjillk @willaful I was assuming Bradshaw will pay Benson back. At least I hope he will. Unless he decides it was his own fault for being too nice which is very probable now that I think about it. 7mo
