mcctrish Poor Lucy. Drac drains her almost dry and then lets her slowly recover #closethedamnwindowspeople 5mo

dabbe It's easy to think that Lucy is the main female here--with all the men loving her and Dracula draining her, but it's Mina who is the female force to be reckoned with. All of these Victorian notions of the innocent woman (Lucy's always in white, right?) are shoved to the side with Mina. She's even traveling the same path as Jonathan to rescue him, and she's doing it on her own! I love Mina! 🧡🖤🧡 5mo

dabbe Oh, and isn't Van Helsing the coolest name ever? 🤩 5mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe Mina is a badass! And I love Van Helsing‘s name! 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe YES 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 4mo

dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead 🖤🧡🖤 4mo

Bookwormjillk @dabbe she‘s so great! Love her! 4mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🧡🖤🧡 4mo

julieclair @dabbe Yes! Mina! She absolutely represents many strong Victorian (and earlier throughout history) women who were “ahead of their time.” 4mo

Ruthiella I also dug that reference. How appropriate since this group is an offshoot of that original #Pemberlittens Jane Austen group read. 😃👍 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Ruthiella I legit squealed! 5mo

Librarybelle The reference was a delightful surprise! 5mo

Bookwormjillk That reference was the highlight of my day. 5mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk mine too!!!! 5mo

rubyslippersreads At least Milton recognizes that he‘s Mr. Collins and not Mr. Darcy. 😆 5mo

SpellboundReader Love the notes going back and forth! ❤ If Jo were a boy, I wonder if the same expectation to 'hold your temper' would apply if someone were caught cheating during a game. Excellent therapy for Beth. She needs to get out more, I think. 8mo

dabbe I also love that Marmee and Laurie's grandfather are involved in the PO fest as well.

It's been so long since I've read this that I had forgotten how each chapter could stand alone just like a Sherlock Holmes story with titles like “The Adventure of the Croquet Picnic“ or “All Play and No Work“. 🤩 (edited) 8mo

Cuilin So I was at a picnic yesterday by a lake in Massachusetts. Ours was more of a frisbee, Jack Johnson on the boom box and lashings of Rosé. Lol I liked this chapter. 8mo

Bookwormjillk This chapter always reminds me of Persuasion. I wonder if LMA read Jane Austen. 8mo

Bookwormjillk @SpellboundReader good question re Jo‘s temper 8mo

willaful This is one of my favs. My first copy of LW was abridged (!) and this was one of the sections that delighted me when I found the complete book. 8mo

mcctrish @SpellboundReader I love the notes too 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly This chapter is so fun! It bugs me that Beth assumed Frank is nice based on his disability, but it all seems to work out. Warning: my spoilered comment will contain spoilers for the very end of the book! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. 8mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m glad Amy doesn‘t marry Fred. Cheater. 😂 8mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 8mo

mcctrish Absolutely the point in the night where if I was Nikolay Parfenovich I would be losing my shit, one minute groaning as Mitya went down another doublespeak rabbit hole and then laughing maniacally as Mitya indicted himself but always with the swears #whattheactualfuckmitya #yankinghischain #yankingourchains perfect meme for this chapter 12mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I was leaning towards a My Cousin Vinny meme for a bit, but then they started on the money and I got a little too excited about Jerry Maguire 🤣🤣🤣 12mo

Cuilin #WhereisMityasLawyer, Mitya doesn‘t know the phrase “no comment”. 12mo

CatLass007 A My Cousin Vinny meme would be so fun.🤩 12mo

Bookwormjillk I‘ve never seen My Cousin Vinny. Clearly I need to correct that. For the sake of literature. 12mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk You will not be disappointed! 🤩 12mo

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 I figure we have plenty of opportunities in future chapters 🤞🏻🤞🏻 12mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk omg I highly recommend it, it‘s hysterical! My whole family quotes it on the regular 🤣🤣 12mo

CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk It is suuuch funny movie. 12mo

Napoleon's Hemorrhoids: And Other Small Events That Changed History | Phil Mason

pick

⭐⭐⭐⭐
A fun little collection of odd historical events. Mason brings to light how each event had a much larger impact than the event initially appeared to have.
A quick read.

Ten Little Niggers | Agatha Christie

I think this book is very interesting and the story is very elaborated... I really don‘t understand why it‘s so underestimated! #AgathaChristie deserves more than this, and this book‘s story ether.
I really recommend this!

Finished this in 1 sitting. Though I have mixed feelings about the ending... It was an incredibly interesting read. Especially for an Austen fan. #JaneAustenforever #singlesittingread #interesting
