Penelope's so done. 😆

dabbe What she had to put up with ... #oytotheultimatevey 😂 3mo
dabbe Have you ever read Dorothy Parker's “Penelope“? If not, here it is:
“In the pathway of the sun,
In the footsteps of the breeze,
Where the world and sky are one,
He shall ride the silver seas,
He shall cut the glittering wave.
I shall sit at home, and rock;
Rise, to heed a neighbor's knock;
Brew my tea, and snip my thread;
Bleach the linen for my bed.
They will call him brave.“

Robotswithpersonality @dabbe I hadn't, no. That's beautiful. ♥️ 3mo

Pickpick

I was reading my chapter for tomorrow & realized there was only one more so I went ahead and finished. What. An. Ending. So thankful to @BarkingMadRead for leading the #hashtagbrigade and pointing me in the direction of books I probably wouldn‘t pick up on my own & creating a community to share them with. There was so much yelling, swearing, absolute fury from me for some of these characters #bellingshit will not be forgotten #dontthrowthekindle

Cuilin Perfect review!!! 5mo
willaful 😂 I couldn't make it through the Brothers, so I'm glad to have shared in this. 5mo
mcctrish @willaful oh them bros, I can‘t believe I made it through!!! This is the second EG I‘ve read with #hashtagbrigade and I have to say I really do like her ( even if she makes me gnash my teeth ) 5mo

This topic 🔥 “in me brain“ (EA Poe). Center: a copy of the shirt I proudly wore (now passed on to a younger teacher) every single day I introduced a banned book to my students. All of the books above I have proudly and unreservedly taught to my 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th graders. In 2023, the # of banned books has ⬆️ by 65% from 2022. Visit the ALA if you want to get involved. 👊

#LitsyLoveSnailMail @dabbe looks like the us postal service was rough on your letter. But with a special envelope, I still got it 👍 🤪

dabbe I hope you can still read it! #oytotheultimatevey 🩵💙🩵 5mo
LiseWorks @Dabbe, lol, the stuff in the package went all over. The news letter was ok but the little note was pretty damaged. I made out a few lines on that and got the gist of the question I'll answer you In a few days. 5mo

TheBookHippie Omgoodness this mini series 🤣😅🙃 5mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie The scenes between Chamberberlain and Ward ... #hubbahubba! 🔥 5mo
TheLudicReader I loved the book and the mini series so much. I remember thinking Richard Chamberlain was so hot back in the day and the angst! 5mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe 🔥🔥🔥🔥 5mo
TheLudicReader I know, right? @TheBookHippie. Angst is my favourite. I rewatched the series about 15 years ago and I can‘t say that I saw Chamberlain in quite the same way, but as a teenager. Hell yes! 5mo
dabbe @TheLudicReader I remember my first thought was, “How naughty!“ Of course, I was a religious freak then, so I was like 😮, yet I couldn't stop reading or watching! 🤩😂🤩 5mo
dabbe @TheLudicReader @TheBookHippie He's now 90 years old! 😱 5mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe HOW CAN THIS BE?! 5mo
TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk @dabbe I am not okay 👵🏼 5mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie Similar thought: When I showed my juniors the 1974 version of THE GREAT GATSBY, all the girls were like, “Is that Brad Pitt?“ I told them that it was Robert Redford and that Pitt could only wish he was that good-looking. They were all 👀 over him ... until I told them he was in his 80s. 😂 5mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe I just rewatched The Way We Were 😅 5mo
dabbe @TheBookHippie Here's me every time I watch that movie: 😭. Here's me when I even watch a CLIP of this movie: 😭. #babsandbob 🩶🖤🩶 (edited) 5mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #bareminimum 🤧🤧🤧 Years ago, I was home from college for the weekend and was watching this with my mom. My sister came home from a date, started watching it with us, and then when the pivotal moment came said, “I'm going to be really pissed if these two don't end up together.“ 😂 5mo
Eggs Loved this book! Read it in 1981, my first summer in Tx ❤️❤️ 5mo
TheBookHippie @dabbe right?!?! Oy. 5mo
dabbe @Eggs 🩶🖤🩶 5mo
Eggs @dabbe I first saw Richard Chamberlain on an old tv show in the 1950s - he played Dr Kildare (Dr Dreamy) 5mo
tournevis @Eggs Dr. Kildare! I and every other Quebecker alive back then watched Les oiseaux se cachent pour mourir in 1983, and we all thought he looked dreamy too. My mother read the book, and told me all about it, enough that I never bothered to try. I wonder how different the original is for the French trna 5mo

Cuilin We need to keep an eye on Mr. Bellingham. He‘s not to be trusted. On another note the writing is beautiful, I loved the description of the ball. 6mo
AllDebooks Poor Jenny. I'm getting Helen (Jane Eyre) vibes. 6mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin I 💯 agree! @AllDebooks yessss I‘m worried for Jenny! 6mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig Bellingham: OMG Poor people! 6mo
BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig such a jerk! 🙄🙄 6mo
Clare-Dragonfly Eeeee I do not like Bellingham. He has the superficial trappings of a hero but he‘s all about Ruth just because she‘s pretty, when he must know their status in life is too different for any romance! And then he literally calls a poor person‘s house a pigsty! He‘s so thoughtless. 6mo
Bookwormjillk @Cuilin Bellingham can not be trusted 6mo
mcctrish Bellingham was half okay when he seemed shook at his supposed betrothed lack of regard for Ruth helping her but is absolutely clueless to how little time Ruth has to herself 🤷🏻‍♀️ like it takes a village for him to have tea, what does he think it takes for actual full time living?! 6mo
currentlyreadinginCO Getting Tess vibes, personally 🙄. Love the writing, though, and I've never read this one before so I'm interested 6mo
KAO @currentlyreadinginCO I agree about Tess vibes! Also already very aware of red flags with Bellingham. 6mo
rubyslippersreads @currentlyreadinginCO Definitely Tess vibes. 6mo
dabbe Your summary today was STUPENDOUS!!! You know, there's a book there re: your witty hashtags. 🤔🤩🤗 6mo
dabbe @currentlyreadinginCO #tessheretoo But I cared about Tess, and now I care about Ruth. Damn. 😂 6mo
rubyslippersreads I have a feeling Mr. Bellingham is as respectful of women as Mr. Wickham. 😏 6mo
currentlyreadinginCO Same 😍😍😭 @dabbe 6mo
Ruthiella @AllDebooks Yes, I‘m afraid Jenny is a goner. I see it coming! 😢 6mo
julieclair Only two chapters in and my heart is already breaking in advance for Ruth. 🥹 6mo
