mcctrish Also “get thee to a penitentiary” is a bit extreme FFS! The Bellinghams are awful people. I‘m not sure which I want more, ‘Mr‘ Bellingham to die OR for him to live and get his ducks in a row 🤞🏼his mother catches the plague next 4mo

Cuilin @mcctrish “get thee to a penitentiary” lol 4mo

Cuilin A girls life hangs in the balance, but heaven forbid we let Mr. Bellingham get annoyed. 😳 4mo

IndoorDame I thought even at this time a penitentiary was a prison. Is there another meaning? 4mo

BarkingMadRead @IndoorDame I looked it up, it‘s more of a charitable institution for fallen women, it‘s basically a rehab to make them “fit for society” 🙄 4mo

IndoorDame @BarkingMadRead 😬 better than prison I guess, but we all know those places have super shady track records historically… 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking a penitentiary must be more like a workhouse. A place for “fallen women” makes sense—a place for penitents… I‘m disappointed in my Penguin Classics edition having endnotes, but not one that explains “penitentiary.” 4mo

mcctrish @Cuilin YES! Heaven forbid the boy is annoyed 4mo

Cuilin @IndoorDame @Clare-Dragonfly it‘s giving Magdalene Laundries Scandal. 4mo

TheBookHippie @mcctrish 🤞🏻 his mother catches the plague 😵‍💫🤣👀 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Cuilin yuuuuuup 4mo

BarkingMadRead @TheBookHippie can we please try and keep current politics out of the discussion? 4mo

TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead yes. Sorry. 4mo

Bookwormjillk Can someone get that money from Mason PLEASE 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin Or accuse HIM of anything in appropriate. It's ALWAYS the woman hussy, isn't it? 🙄 4mo

BarkingMadRead @dabbe @Cuilin obviously she was all by herself when the unspeakable happened 🙄 4mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead @Dabbe I overheard a woman say there would be no bad men if it weren‘t for bad women! I had to just walk away. (edited) 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin Oh, lordy be. 😮 #speechless 4mo

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin Definitely. 4mo

rubyslippersreads @Cuilin 😳 4mo

julieclair @Cuilin You‘re joking. In real life? Present day? How is that even possible? 🤯 4mo

Cuilin @julieclair It was the 90‘s, my teenage self bristled. 4mo

currentlyreadinginCO Mrs B is the worst 🤮, def Dinklage as Benson 🤣🤣 4mo

jewright I‘m wondering if Benson will marry her. 4mo

julieclair @Cuilin Your teenage self had every right to bristle! 4mo

Not a huge amount of reading this week. You may also note how little my #bookreport resembles last week‘s forecast or my books in progress. However, I am enjoying these (enjoying might not be the right word for River(

I‘ve *finally* settled into GC, and Mariannne‘s learning to fly ✈️
Ishikawa has a fascinating viewpoint, having been repatriated to North Korea as a 13 year old. It‘s an incredibly angry read.

rockpools And the Portas is work reading, but it‘s hopeful & positive & I‘m getting a lot out of it.

Sure I‘ll get back to those other books I left lying around… one day! 3y

TrishB Have a good week 😁 3y

Cinfhen This is a very slimmed down #BookReport 😜♥️ 3y
