mcctrish #whereisthefatman? #isdobbinlostatsea? #whatisbeckyactuallydoingwithlordsteyne 🍆🍑? 1y

dabbe Holy guacamole, Batman! Chapter 47 was the most BORING chapter I have read in a long time. Just so we get that Lord Steyne is a jerk and his son is locked up? We're at the point now where I just want Thakeray to finish the plots on our characters, especially Dobbin and Amelia. Sheesh! 🥱 1y

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish there‘s gotta be some hanky panky i would think, otherwise why give her allllll that money?!? 1y

Cuilin Tom Eaves could write his own gossip column. As for Becky and Styne. Something‘s about to happen there. And the jewelry from Pitt!! 1y

willaful Poor Lady Jane -- only the second nice character in the book, other than the kids I guess, and she's being screwed over by Becky. On the other hand, #jointheparty. :-\

Anyone else wondering if poor Rawden might not even be the father of his kid? 1y

AnnR @willaful - I hadn't considered Rawden might not be the father but now that you mention it. Hmmm.... She really is one of the most horribly selfish and manipulative female characters I've encountered in a book. Right up there with Scarlett O'Hara and Undine Spragg in

The Custom of the Country

Bookwormjillk @dabbe yes!!! So boring. I actually listened to it twice and still don‘t know what happened. 1y

Daisey @dabbe @Bookwormjillk So glad I wasn‘t the only one completely bored by that chapter to the point of not absorbing any information. 1y

TheAromaofBooks I skimmed most of that chapter. I just kept thinking... how is any of this remotely relevant?! Who are these people??? @dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Daisey 1y

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I had to read the Shmoop summary to get the gist of it! 🤣🤣🤣 1y

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Exactly! I kept thinking, “Get to Becky, Amelia, Dobbin, somebody I know!“ 🤣🤣🤣 1y

willaful @TheAromaofBooks Same! I decided to consider myself creating a “good parts version“ like with The Princess Bride. 😂

The Princess Bride: An Illustrated Edition of S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure

TheAromaofBooks @willaful - I like the way you're thinking! If only I had a kindly grandfather reading me this book and skipping all the boring bits! 😂 1y

willaful @TheAromaofBooks can you imagine how shocked poor grandpa would be though?! 1y

TheAromaofBooks @willaful - True, he may be more inclined to skip the interesting bits! 😂 1y

Mark your calendars! One week from today - on Saturday April 29 - is Independent Bookstore Day!
I know I won't have trouble finding things to buy - the trouble might be how many indies can I hit in one day before the credit card melts 🙀📚📚📚
