mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I was just skimming along and then “wait what?! Ludo is here?!” Truthfully I thought for sure they were banditti but then I thought they were hunters and maybe V was with them (edited) 3mo

Clare-Dragonfly Something actually happened!!! @mcctrish I also thought V would turn out to be with them. 3mo

peanutnine I was like oh now we finally get to hear what happened to Ludo! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Just kidding 3mo

Bookwormjillk 10 chapters left! 4mo

BarkingMadRead @peanutnine #obviously 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is usually the point where I would binge read the end, but I feel like I still wouldn‘t know anything, so why bother 🤣 @Bookwormjillk #hallelujah 4mo

TheAromaofBooks I gotta be honest, I freaking love Annette and her complete inability to keep a secret 😂 4mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks without Annette, we wouldn‘t know a damn thing 🤣 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly There doesn‘t seem to be much acknowledgement that Annette‘s husband has disappeared! 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly Linguistic note: I see that Annette has switched from calling Emily “mamselle” to “madam”! This matches up with something I noted in the book I just finished—in English, Mrs was for a long time just a title of respect for an adult woman of a certain class, even if she wasn‘t married. The Mrs versus Miss for marital status distinction wasn‘t solidified until the mid-19th century. Emily is probably Madam now that she‘s inherited.

mcctrish In the words of me “WTF?!” 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly So, just like with Ludo, we get the Count‘s POV when nothing interesting is going on, and then something happens and we don‘t get to know anything about it. 🤨 4mo

TheAromaofBooks Someone needs to rewrite this book except with the interesting parts actually IN THE STORY 🙄 4mo

Bookwormjillk @TheAromaofBooks ha! Perfect! 4mo

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Yes! And leaving out 80% of the #verdantverdure . 4mo

BarkingMadRead @julieclair omg so much #verdantverdure 🙄 4mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish omg the freaking hat 🙄 #priorities 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly That‘s why I called him Ludo in the first place 😂😂😂 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly And yeah, as soon as the guy wouldn‘t tell Ludo his name, I knew it wasn‘t going to be V. 4mo

Bookwormjillk I was a bit shocked it wasn‘t V myself. But then again we still have many chapters to go. 4mo

Bklover I wonder where V is? Maybe he‘s moved on! (I sure hope not after all this) 4mo

peanutnine I had a feeling the creeper wasn't V cause he would have already admitted it to Emily, he was always really frank about his stalker tendencies lol 4mo

mcctrish @Bklover he‘s still partying in Paris 4mo

julieclair @mcctrish I sure do hope you‘re wrong about partying in Paris, but my gut tells me you‘re right. 😒 4mo

Bookwormjillk So is Macaroni the bad guy or is V? Or is the aunt just playing them all? Will Emily ever stop crying and find out?? #WeWillHaveAnAnswerLateNextMonth 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣 5mo

AllDebooks What just happened? 😱 5mo

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks #somanythings 5mo

AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead the u-turns from this aunt are making my head spin! 5mo

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks she‘s exhausting! 5mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks I‘ve got whiplash 5mo

mcctrish Sigh. Sob. You must go. Wait, listen to this. Sigh. Sob. Don‘t ever forget me. You must forget me. Sigh. Sob. #putafeatherinhishatandcallhimmacaroni 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly Definitely saw Marconi forbidding the marriage coming! There is a lot of sighing and fainting in this chapter. There is no way I would be slogging through this book without the #hashtagbrigade! I *will* learn what Catherine Morland gets so excited about! (edited) 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I just realized I got his name wrong in a completely different way 😂 Montoni! 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly Also! Doesn‘t Valancourt have a first name? He calls Emily by her name all the time but she doesn‘t use his name in dialogue. Did Radcliffe just not feel like coming up with a first name? 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think they‘ve mentioned a first name? I‘m not sure! 5mo

dabbe This is the perfect kind of book for me right now. No matter how bad things are or seem to be today, I am quite grateful to not be Emily in the late 1500's with absolutely no money and no say in what she can/can't do in her life. #yikes #andyesshecrieswaytoomuch #scmb 5mo

TheAromaofBooks The aunt being like “suck it up or people will judge you for not being able to get over your completely inappropriate boyfriend“ like 48 hours ago you were totally on his team?!?! Geezy 5mo

AnishaInkspill yeah the uncle 5mo

Bklover And now they‘re both crying. And dear obedient Emily will now be ordered around by Macaroni. 5mo

willaful I was expecting something horrible. I guess Sydney was too.

Kerr continues to be the effing worst. She deliberately tantalized Sydney and then tried to lure her back. Sydney went to a dark place but I\'m glad she has learned better now. Only two chapters left, perhaps she\'s safe? 😬 6mo

mcctrish Kerr is the worst @willaful and if the worst thing that happens is Sydney sees the light of her rushed marriage almost colliding with a logging truck #couldbeworse 6mo

willaful @mcctrish Yes, I think it was the right decision. But I hate the thought of Kerr feeling like she won. 🤬 6mo

peanutnine Calling it off was the right decision but I do feel bad for Milton. He seems like collateral damage in the whole affair 6mo

julieclair Sydney is a hot mess. Calling off the engagement is definitely the right idea. @peanutnine I agree about Milton… I feel very sorry for him. 6mo
