Librarybelle Quite a lot to digest in Part 1! 4mo

BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle I‘m thinking part two might need multiple posts 🤣 that was a lot (edited) 4mo

Librarybelle 😂 4mo

Bookwormjillk I read this not knowing what was a dream and what was real. I‘ve bailed on this book in the past, but I am determined to finish with the #HashtagBrigade 4mo

5feet.of.fury Poor Coco. I‘m glad Aunt Cora is coming back. I‘m so confused with the Mason/Cosway family tree. 4mo

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle it was a lot! @Bookwormjillk I know that I read this in high school, and I remember that whole 1st part, and being confused about the races/race relations & our teacher thinking we were all very stupid. Which if she‘s the teacher, teaching us & we all did not understand I think that‘s a her problem lol 4mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury definitely a her problem! 4mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury Mason is Antoinette‘s stepdad, but I didn‘t like her saying nee Cosway, because I always thought that was for marriage 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly I found this quick to read but difficult to follow. If the present-tense portion near the end was a dream, were the other present-tense portions dreams? But I don‘t remember what they were anymore. I guess I‘m following the broad strokes of Antoinette‘s life, though. 4mo

dabbe Rhys writes as if she expects us to know and understand all about British and French colonialism in the Caribbean and the so-called pecking order determined by how much black blood was in you. I admit to having read some study guides for this one, and it helped tremendously. I think the strange man at the end of Part 1 (that Mason alludes to) is Rochester. #oytothevey! 😳 (edited) 4mo

willaful @BarkingMadRead Maybe it's one of those usages that changed? Like in Austen and other books of the time, “stepmother“ and “mother-in-law“ often seem to be switched, IIRC.

@dabbe Yes, it's frustrating! I'm confused too -- and have NO memory of having read this before, though I know I did. Too young no doubt. 4mo

mcctrish I forgot what day we were meeting 🤦🏻‍♀️ this first part felt ripe with ominous vibes and while I get the white negro and black Englishman taunts I hadn‘t realized how angry they were ( although Tia not coming back with the stolen dress should have clued me in) poor Patrick ( and horse and parrot) what in earth will part 2 bring 😳 this is a wild fast ride. The mom was a piece of work but her yelling “no “ when Antoinette went to visit 💔 4mo

mcctrish I am curious what was the matter with Patrick ( some kind of palsy ?) and Antoinette was ill for 6 weeks not from being hit in the head from a stone ( thx Tia) but because her mother tried to kill her?! 4mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish yeah that whole part of her being sick kind of went over my head. Really crazy 4mo

Bookwormjillk @5feet.of.fury a her problem for sure! 4mo

rubyslippersreads Not only is Part One full of drama and tragedy, I feel like what happens in Jane Eyre is hanging over everything. #PoorCoco #foreshadowing #impendingdoom (edited) 4mo

julieclair What a sad early life. Soooo much going on in these chapters. The noise in the bamboo had me wanting to scream “get out of the house”! And the mom‘s rejection of her… just heartbreaking. 4mo

currentlyreadinginCO @rubyslippersreads agreed about what happens in Jane Eyre hanging over the book! 4mo

Bookwormjillk Just finished this one. It‘s starting to make sense a little now 🤪 1y

willaful I'm enjoying the read, but I think it's definitely lacking the deeper shades of characterization Austen brings to her books. The bad guys and good guys are all so obvious and they've all recognized each other and made friends. 1y

TheBookHippie @willaful I agree. 1y

mcctrish Lady Catherine is quite the pushover #hellhathnofury and all that for Miss Steele, I wish one of the gentlemen ( Darcy or the Colonel) would just yell at their aunt “for god‘s sake woman, you have stirred up a hive of trouble over idle gossip put in your ear by conniving hussies” and call it a day (edited) 1y

Book Lovers | Emily Henry

Me, on my way to tell my best friend not to read this book under any circumstance right now. I am not kidding that I‘m utterly broken. I spent the last 1/3 trying to not sob out loud. Maybe it would be better in summer with a glass of wine, but I‘m chilled, curled in bed, fighting off depression lately (it struck during retrograde and won‘t let me go), then there‘s this enemies to lovers storyline that undid me. I‘m 💔& I may never fully recover.

Amandajoy, monalyisha

mrsmarch #auldlangspine2023 #enemiestolovers #citytosmalltown #heartbroken 2y

Amandajoy Did you finish it? 2y

mrsmarch @Amandajoy Yes! Devoured it in under 10 hours and that included sleeping and getting the kids to school in the morning! 2y

mrsmarch I don‘t want to give the impression it‘s a bad book. It‘s a very _good_ book. But around the 60% Nora starts to hammer herself in to her own bespoke box of unhappiness because she thinks that‘s all she deserves and my heart couldn‘t take it (edited) 2y

mrsmarch And I was upset because Charlie was going to _let_ her because he thought she‘d be happier without him and I wanted to smack him but I was so so sad for both of them 2y
