Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 I expected some sort of blah blah blah because it was such a long chapter but instead we got Jerry Springer 9mo

currentlyreadinginCO The problem w this book is that no one calls anyone by their name and I always have to reread everything to find out what happened! It took me a couple rereads to understand who was locked out and where everyone was at the end of this chapter 😂😂. But despite my constant complaining I'm actually really enjoying this and don't think I would have gotten this far w.o the buddy read, SO 9mo
BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣🤣 9mo
BarkingMadRead @currentlyreadinginCO my allergies are so bad today that it took me like an hour to actually get through it. I had to keep going back and reading it again. 9mo
TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead I now am going back to nighttime reading with appropriate beverages…. This was ..😵‍💫🤪 ALOT. 9mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie The nighttime beverages make ALL the difference. 😂 #whichmanisthepan #panpanpan #paniepanpanie #myheadhurts 9mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe so confusing 🤣 I just let it go, I figured they wouldn‘t be around long enough to matter 🤣 9mo
TheAromaofBooks As usual, spot-on meme usage here 😂 9mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead 🤩😍😂 9mo
mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks absolute truth 🤣🤣 9mo
mcctrish @Bookwormjillk this is Jerry Springer on steroids 🤣🤣 9mo
mcctrish @TheBookHippie I wish I had enough money to order a few cases of champagne to drink this with ( some blini and caviar would be a nice touch too) 9mo
TheBookHippie @mcctrish I don‘t like Vodka but it‘s probably what they drank 🤪👀😅 9mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish there‘s not enough champagne in the world for that chapter 🤣 it was so chaotic! 9mo
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead honestly I read this so loud in my head 🤕 9mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury it was a little mind numbing 10mo
Cuilin Just realized I put my comment on the wrong post. 🤦‍♀️ seriously all that talk of cruelty to children. I don‘t know how Alyosha eat his soup and preserves. 10mo
AllDebooks @5feet.of.fury 😅🤣 10mo
SamAnne That chapter was just too much…. 10mo
TheAromaofBooks Like I kind of got that Ivan was trying to prove that God doesn't really exist because suffering does, particularly the suffering of innocents. But I also felt like he was definitely ignoring/glossing over some critical pro-faith arguments while pretending like he was addressing them. 10mo
mcctrish Shut. Up. Ivan. #ivanhasastupidexpressiononhisface @Cuilin exactly! Aloysha finally gets to sit down and eat something and fucking Ivan goes off on child abuse 10mo
Bookwormjillk That was dark you guys 10mo
currentlyreadinginCO This poem is going to be something 😂 10mo
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 10mo
Aimeesue Ursula K. Le Guin based a story on one of the ideas Ivan tosses out in this chapter - "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas." (edited) 10mo

@Catsandbooks @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @TheAromaofBooks @AmandaBlaze

Thought I'd try to post an everyday list of readathons because if you're like me, it's crazy trying to keep track of all of them! 🤩
***UPDATED, thanks to @TheSpineView and @TEArificbooks. Please let me know if I've missed anything. #mybrainhurts

TEArificbooks There is also #witchathon if any books read have something to do with witches 13mo
dabbe @TEArificbooks I thought that was a Bingo not a Readathon. Thanks for the heads up! 🤩 13mo

dabbe @TheSpineView Again, thought it was only a Bingo. I'm so CONFUSED! We need different names for the readathon vs. a bingo for the stupidly-impaired like me! 🤪🤪🤪 13mo
Catsandbooks Great idea! 13mo
dabbe @Catsandbooks 🤩😃🤗 13mo
TEArificbooks @dabbe it is a readathon with a bingo 13mo
Read4life #Falling4Books is a Readathon. I created a bingo board for anyone wanting extra fun and extra points. 13mo
TheSpineView Thanks for this. I'm having trouble keeping up. 13mo
dabbe @Read4life I think I have it squared away now, thanks! 🖤🧡🖤 13mo
dabbe @TheSpineView #metoo 🖤🧡🖤 13mo
TheAromaofBooks Looks great!! I have an entire spreadsheet for this month! 😂 13mo

AnnR @BarkingMadRead - I think you said it all. Wow! Just wow! I was just relieved Adela got rid of her echo, just in the knick of time for Dr. Aziz. 14mo
willaful I truly wasn't expecting that! Still have kind of a feeling of dread. The whole situation is so volatile. 14mo

Morr_Books @willaful Agree! 14mo
Bklover You have definitely outdone yourself with today‘s ### 🩵 14mo
jenniferw88 I'm just glad that the song I chose to go with this book for #dramaqueen #titlesandtunes makes sense, as Fielding is called a renegade in ch.24! @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB 14mo
TheAromaofBooks Seriously head-spinning. Honestly, I was the most shocked about Mrs. Moore! 14mo
BarkingMadRead @Bklover I almost ran out of space! 14mo
BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks it felt so out of left field! 14mo
Cinfhen @jenniferw88 🫶🏼🎶🎉 14mo
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks That cave really messed with her; it's like she completely lost the will to live after that. I wish Forster would tell us more about why the heck that was such a complete life-altering-to-death experience for her. 14mo
BarbaraBB @jenniferw88 Spot on 🙌🏽 14mo
TheAromaofBooks @dabbe - It just seemed so strange! I understood her having this sort of internal/spiritual shake up, but it seemed a little bizarre that hearing some echoing voices was enough to make her reject all of her religious beliefs and descend into complete apathy!? I felt so bad for her - she didn't have anyone to talk it out with, to offer her reassurances or alternate views. 😕 14mo
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks This has been a strange book for me on the whole: I mean, what was even the point of having her in the book and then killing her offstage? And what the heck is the big deal about an echo? Caves echo; get used to it, people.

The wording has been bizarre in places, too, plus how people talk to each other. But, maybe that's the point. We're supposed to feel weird because they feel weird relating to one another. 🤷‍♀️
14mo
TheAromaofBooks @dabbe - This book has done a great job capturing a general sense of unease and uncertainty, the fragility of a system that assumes everyone “knows their place“ and can't handle anyone deciding they don't like that place. But as a story... it's been somewhat lacking for me 😂 14mo
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks Much better said than what I wrote. Agree 💯! I 😍 A ROOM WITH A VIEW, but this one not so much. 🤣 14mo
